Default Hose kit?

I want to replace all the hose under the hood of my 2002 Z.

All the parts houses seem to only carry some of the hoses, no one lists and sells them all. Well, none that I can find.

Other than buying the $300 silicone kits, does anyone have a source, or at least a complete set of numbers. I don't want to tear into this thing and find out I don't have everything I need.

Thanks!

Buy the silicone kit. That's what we use on the race cars, and they are much better long term, and take abuse better than rubber.

Alrighty, all you gurus recommending going with the second wife method... I went with the Mishimoto Silicone set from Jegs.


Thank you!
