So my sr20 never had an oem rubber hose from block to the t fitting on valve cover. I’ve tried a few different types of hose this year and they all keep melting. No idea why the never melted last year, but this year I can’t even do a 1 hr drive without that shit melting.

Do i have a cheaper and faster option than running stainless line?

Is there a rubber or silicon hosing person in Toronto that sells line capable of withstanding that type of heat?

Thanks.

Performance improvements. do you have a tubular exhaust manifold? That hose often melts because of it.
