Stoney Racing FTO-0002 Silicone Radiator & Heater Coolant Hose Kit – Mitsubishi FTO 2.0 V6 Manual

The Stoney Racing FTO-0002 is a silicone replacement for the radiator and heater hoses on the Mitsubishi FTO (DE3A) 2.0 V6 6A12 manual, 1994–2001.

The kit replaces the upper and lower radiator hoses and the heater matrix inlet and outlet hoses, and fits both MIVEC and non-MIVEC engines. Each hose is built from 4-ply silicone with 3-ply polyester reinforcement, so it will not perish, swell or crack like ageing rubber hoses.

It is supplied in blue and can be ordered with a full set of stainless worm-drive, spring or stainless T-bolt clamps, or without clamps if you plan to reuse your originals.

Clamp Options

Black Spring Clips are the type most manufacturers use. They give the most even clamping pressure and are generally the best choice for coolant hoses, although being mild steel they can show surface rust over time.

Stainless Worm-Drive clamps are fully stainless, so they will not rust, and they are easier to fit in tight spaces. A good choice if engine bay appearance matters.

Stainless T-Bolt clamps are the heaviest-duty option, ideal where maximum clamping force is wanted.

None lets you reuse your existing clamps. These hoses are slightly thicker than standard, so some original clamps may be too small.

Important Fitting Information

• Some coolants are not compatible with silicone hoses. Check your coolant before fitting.
• Manual, right-hand-drive models only.
• Use washing-up liquid to lubricate the hoses when fitting. Never use WD40 or any oil-based lubricant.
• Always dilute coolant with de-ionised water, never tap water, and never mix coolant types.

What's in the Box?

• 4 × Stoney Racing reinforced silicone hoses in blue
• Full clamp set in your chosen style (if selected)

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it fit the automatic FTO?

No. Stoney Racing lists this kit for manual, RHD V6 FTOs only.

Is it available in other colours?

Stoney Racing currently offers this kit in blue only.

Can I reuse my original clamps?

Often, yes. However, these hoses are slightly thicker than the originals, so some factory clamps may be too small.

Why is this kit on pre-order?

Stoney Racing makes this kit to order. It is dispatched in around 3–6 weeks.

Which clamps should I choose?

Spring clips give the most even clamping force for coolant hoses. Stainless worm-drive clamps will not rust and are easier to fit. T-bolt clamps are the strongest option.

Is my coolant compatible?

Most are, but some coolants (particularly some OAT types containing 2-EHA) can damage silicone. Read the Important Fitting Notes linked on this page, which list compatible coolants.

What warranty do I get?

Stoney Racing silicone hoses carry a 3-year warranty.
