Over heat cycles, OEM hoses suffer from electrochemical degradation (ECD), micro-cracking, and thermal hardening. Under elevated cooling loop pressures or hard-driving thermal expansion, brittle factory hoses are prone to softening, ballooning, or splitting at the neck connections, risking immediate overheating and warped aluminum cylinder heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered as a direct-fit replacement for the **Z16A** chassis, this kit utilizes 3-ply reinforced silicone construction with a 4.5 mm nominal wall thickness. Silicone naturally resists ozone, UV degradation, oil vapor permeation, and extreme thermal cycling ranging from sub-zero conditions to over 350°F. The polyester reinforcement layers maintain rigid burst pressure resistance without expanding or collapsing under dynamic coolant flow. Complete with four stainless-steel worm-drive clamps, this kit secures leak-free junction clamping at the radiator inlet, outlet, and water housing necks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Silicone Radiator Hoses (black, 3-ply, 4.5 mm wall)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 Stainless Worm-Drive Clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1991-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e6G72 \/ Z16A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e222 - 320 hp \/ 205 - 315 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1991-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT Base\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1991-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1991-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the Z16A 3000GT?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 1991-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT equipped with the **6G72** engine and factory radiator plumbing layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to bleed the cooling system after installing these hoses?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, you must refill with factory-spec ethylene glycol coolant and thoroughly bleed air from the thermostat housing bleed port to prevent localized hot spots and air cavitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Mitsubishi Performance Caliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to handle the demanding boost and heat thresholds of twin-turbo and high-revving naturally aspirated JDM platforms, this cooling component provides the thermal reliability required for aggressive street driving and sustained track sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68059180663032,"sku":"DS-E6OW9X3AU","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/silicone-radiator-hose-kit-for-mitsubishi-3000gt-1991-1999-1.jpg?v=1794367865","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/silicone-radiator-hose-kit-for-mitsubishi-3000gt-1991-1999","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
