Silicone Hoses for Euro 6 Compliant vehicles

Posted on by

Euro VIAt the start of this year Euro VI regulations were introduced for newly registered vehicles. Vehicle manufacturers have had to overcome significant challenges in modern engine technology to comply with these regulations. In essence they call for further reductions in levels of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.

Here at Viper Performance we have been proud to be able to be reactive to these changes and were well prepared for the challenges that were seen in 2016. Higher under bonnet temperatures, higher turbo pressures, increased coolant system pressures and stronger negative pressures in intake systems, have been typical problems, which have had to be overcome due to Euro VI.

Working with several major vehicle producers, we have turbo-charger (CAC), coolant and air intake hoses, for Euro VI vehicles. Using high quality silicone compounds, newer Aramid and revised constructions for coolant hoses, our hoses are more than capable of performing reliably on any modern engine. Our fluorosilicone lined hoses can ensure all potential issues are covered now and into the future.

Heat shielding products protect from heat damage

Posted on by

exhaustwrap1Heat shielding products are designed to protect the shielded component from high temperatures and occasional flames. There are a range of health shielding products available to suit various applications, temperatures, and budgets.

Heat Sleeves are designed to protect hoses, wires and cables from the hazards of high heat. Viper Performance sleeves protect continuously to 260°C/500°F and will peak at 550°C. Produced from braided fiberglass yarns in a flexible substrate, and coated with a high grade BLACK gloss silicone rubber, it will protect and look great too.

Turbo Blankets are the best, easiest, and cheapest way to keep your turbo from causing heat damage to the rest of your car. Turbos get very hot, at times they get so hot they can melt nearby electronics, hoses, wires and ruin the paint on the hood. As heat damaged parts can be expensive to repair, prevention is better than cure.

Exhaust Wraps can reduce engine temperatures, and improve exhaust gas temperatures.

The benefits of Silicone Hoses

Posted on by

silicone hosesSilicone Hoses offer many benefits over conventional rubber hoses. For starters they are much more durable than organic rubbers. Over time, sustained high temperatures will cause rubber hoses to weaken and fail. In comparison silicone is less likely to crack, swell, or even dry out, because it transfers heat much more efficiently.

Another benefit is the easy removal of Silicone hoses. Rubber can be incredibly difficult to remove from certain parts of your radiator, especially because it has a tendency to bond with some of the vents or ports. Silicone is almost always much easier to remove than rubber, and it is less likely to stick to parts of your radiator.

Not only does Silicone have practical benefits it is also much more aesthetically pleasing. If you care about how your engine bay looks then silicone hoses can give you more choice with a range of colours available. Silicone tubing can come in blue, green, red, orange, yellow, or even black!

If you are looking for high quality Silicone hoses to replace old rubber hoses then we have a wide range of sizes, colours and shapes in our online shop. Click here to find the hose you are looking for.
