When building a performance engine, everyone talks endlessly about forged pistons, H vs. I beam connecting rods, high-flow injectors, and '1000hp capable' turbochargers ready to produce 60-100 PSI of boost. That's all exciting and, depending on your goals, critical, but what about your fittings and hoses that none of these components would last without?
Jamie from Raceworks runs us through some of the popular options you will find in all forms of motorsport, including monsters at events like the World Time Attack Challenge. These include braided rubber and PTFE (Teflon) hose options, what areas of the engine you might choose flexibility over comparative durability, push lock and crimped hose ends.
You will also get a quick rundown of AN fittings and adaptors, including how the AN fitting sizing system works and some insight into hard lines, Wiggins, clamps, and silicone couplers, along with some options on flaring your pipe/tube.

I realize that JIC and AN are not expressly interchangeable - but I've never ever had a leak between a JIC and AN fitting, despite having done it many, many times. As far as I'm concerned, they're interchangeable with the exception that JIC are almost always steel and therefore capable of significantly higher pressure than aluminum AN fittings.

@bingysbackyard 2 месяца назад

Yes they are 100% same thread and sizing as jic.. the AN system was for unskilled mechanics in the army/navy to have a basic hose system as it would of taken too long to train them in imperial fittings from all over the world... also these Chinese made aluminium parts are way lower quality than the steel fittings

@bb1ben 2 месяца назад

I've wondered this for a long time, I have easy access to make hoses with JIC fittings, good to know I can screw em right on to AN fittings

@GroovesAndLands 2 месяца назад

@@bingysbackyard I hate to admit it, but I've used a whole mess of cheapie Chinese push-lok AN fittings. The "evil energy" brand comes to mind. They work just fine. Haven't had a single issue with them. If I were building a top-tier race car with a budget of $250k, I'd absolutely not use them - but for my toy IS300 hot streetcar - I just don't see any advantage in spending the extra cash on Earls, Aeroquip or Russel.

@gordowg1wg145 Месяц назад

Some may be looking at industrial/heavy machinery hydraulic fittings, with the correct hoses, as an option - this may seem to be a cheaper, or more available, option, but you DO need to be aware of things like the fittings usually having very restrictive bores as wall thickness is important for strength and fatigue resistance with 300-350bar operating pressures. For silicone, and even rubber, low pressure hoses, they're usually available in a range of operating pressures - be sure of what you need, and what you're actually getting.

@PANTYEATR1 2 месяца назад

You know what i really like? Fuel injection clamps! They are very strong band clamps that tighten with a nut and bolt. I wish they came in bigger size offerings. I also love Oetiker stepless screw clamps with tension spring💪

@nicolajskovby6204 2 месяца назад

I know tractor pullers going 100 psi on silicone hose, the trick is to push the pibes all the way inside so they almost touch, then use loads of hose clamps (the good wide ones) I know they run 7 3 on each side and one on the gap in the middle so the silicone can't expand. And they never have issues

"AN is not metric or imperial..." Yes, the hose sizing is imperial. It matches up to the hydraulic hose world, 90% of the stuff(loosely speaking) is imperial sizes.

@laulau10100 2 месяца назад

Any suggestions on obtaining crimp on hose ends? Or could JIC hydraulic connectors with corresponding hose work in combination with weld on AN/JIC bungs?

@kjc4203 2 месяца назад

Expensive option but I love em and wouldn't have it any other way

@user-cq6fk5go3s 2 месяца назад

Used them extensively along with steel lines for 20 years in the military. Excellent product but I’m glad I didn’t have to pay for them. We had a connex that would be mounted on the back of a truck when we trained or deployed. Inside it contained all of the bulk hose, fittings and tools required to assemble as needed. The turbines in the tanks used fuel as a hydraulic and sensing medium. A turbine in a steel box tends to shorten the life of anything that isn’t steel.

@cobrajeff96 2 месяца назад

About the only place I've ever used traditional rubber is for coolant, and as it turns out I use a heavy wall, steel braid-reinforced rubber set of lines in the power steering system which currently runs around 1300 psi, albeit at full runout (hydroboost). Everything else is PTFE, no exceptions. I find PTFE assembly to be easier, personally. Earl's is my fav brand, XRP coming in a close second. I also love some Staubli QDs as well as Jiffy Tite to a lesser extent. My opinion on hardlines is two things: 1) use them to the greatest extent in places where the line does not need to articulate or move at all. 2) use SS over Cu or Al as it is the most durable and if its the 300 series alloy then it's pretty much corrosion proof. For brake systems in tight confines with tight bends, Cu might be the best option. You have to be careful using dissimilar metals, though. I once used aluminum sleeves/nuts on a flared section of copper and the green copper-oxide layer actually cracked the tubes sleeves over the months/years. They didnt leak, but upon any servicing of the line it would need to be remade. I suppose SS sleeves/nuts would be the more correct choice.

@mitchbolan5184 2 месяца назад

Got PTFE and an in the street car because I like the look over rubber

@zzwk24 2 месяца назад

Same hose and adapter from the manufacturer can be very costly if you buy from Setrab.

@gar24407 2 месяца назад

I think is all risk and reward. Loosing a coolant hose and getting home on a tow is not great but not too expensive. Loosing an oil supply hose on a $200,000 engine is a really bad day, loosing it on during comletition is even worse. so that overkill AN hose is cheap insurance for a race team.

@mrpringles9429 2 месяца назад

When do you consider using hardline over PTFE/any hoses?

@hpa101 2 месяца назад

Near extreme heat sources. We moved to Aluminium hardlines for our turbo lines in our endurance car as the braided rubber hose wasn't holding up. Haven't had an issue since. Stainless and Cu-Ni lines can still offer some extra abrasion resistance over braided hose as well, and for the brake system they completely eliminate any swelling that can lead to compliance issues. I personally also love the look of some really well made hardlines over flexible hose which tends to look a bit less tidy - Connor

Aluminium Hard Lines also weigh less than flexible hoses

@agustinmorales4045 2 месяца назад

@@hpa101 Is vibration a serious concern for hardlines? Can hardlines be used from engine to chassis mounted oil coolers? I've also used hardlines for turbo drains when ptfe and rubber lines wouldn't hold up.

@onedayiwillmakesomecontent 2 месяца назад

@@agustinmorales4045yep vibration fatigue is a thing.

@bb1ben 2 месяца назад

@agustinmorales4045 it is a very serious concern, hard lines can crack at the fitting very easily if not supported properly. I had a turbo hard line crack on my golf and it pumped every last drop of oil on the ground. And they need a hose connection to serve as a flex if going from engine to chassis, as the engine will move and the hardline cant flex and stretch

The Miltary, Army/Navy/Airforce would not use cheap aluminium fittings.. Comparing this chinese stuff to the quality steel fittings that is actually used is very misleading Also the AN system was created for unskilled mechanics during the war to have a basic quick too understand hose system as there was not enough time to train them in all the different threads and fittings from around the world Also AN fittings ARE JIC fitting threads, but they dumb down the threads sizes to 1 standard fitting size per the hose size, when in reality there is actually around 3 thread sizes per hose size in JIC system... 1 day there will be a huge car fire from using these chinese poor quality aluminium fittings.. and someone will die... who is going to be accountable?
