Breeze is now shipping Coolant Hose and Tube Kits for the FFR 818! These kits replace the generic corrugated hose with mandrel bent tubing specifically designed for your 818. The clamps are all properly sized Breeze Industrial Products made-in-USA all-stainless liner clamps.

p/n 70707 connects the Subaru engine to the FFR side tubes. It includes 2 mandrel bent and beaded aluminum tubes, 4 coupler hoses and 8 hose clamps for 14 pieces total.

p/n 70708 connects the stock radiator to the FFR side tubes. It includes 4 mandrel bent and beaded aluminum tubes, 6 coupler hoses and 12 hose clamps for 22 pieces total.

With all this tubing, we're not sure a radiator is actually needed, but recommend installing one anyway since it is the easiest way to connect the tubes in front!

Good to hear! Do you have lips on the pipes to help prevent the hoses from coming off? Are you planning on offering any other goodies for the 818?

Yes the tubes are properly beaded for hose retention. No we are not planning any other product development for the 818.

Can anyone confirm if this tube kit(s) are fully compatible with the NON-WRX, NON-turbo version of the 2.5L engine. I would love to replace the corrugated lines, but not certain if they would work with my donor parts. Could it be as simple as swapping out my radiator for the WRX radiator? Thanks in advance!

How is this different from the kit offered on replicaparts.com?

Dave I don't see any reason why the would not work. The basic engine is the same. I would guess the radiator is as well. At least it likely has the same in and out locations.

I checked my OEM radiator, and it looks the same. I hope the engine inlet and outlet are the same as well

Same tubes and hoses as Replicaparts.com. We each supply our own hose clamps so those may be different. Breeze supplies Breeze Industrial Products all-stainless liner clamps which are made in PA. Mike can comment on which clamps he provides.

did these require spacers on the bottom to clear the bellows?
