Title: Source for aluminum/silicon H20 lines for Desmoqauttro Engine Post by: gage on December 02, 2008, 02:14:58 PM Can someone post a link to a set of aluminum water lines that will fit an S4.
Do the Desmoqauttro and Testeretta engine share the same cooling circuit? Thanks!

I picked up a SAMCO set for my S4 from the UK for less than $190 shipped.

Did you use the aluminum feed from the S4RS kit in combination with another hose kit? Title: Re: Source for aluminum/silicon H20 lines for Desmoqauttro Engine Post by: ghostface on December 02, 2008, 09:58:17 PM Yes, like the picture. That is an S4R. Look at the oil cooler and the radial caliper. From the look thought it looks like a simple swap since the aluminum bend is similar the the OEM hose. I guess you can score a aluminum line from an S4R an ordered a Silicon hose kit for the S4R. I know someone who powdercoated the aluminum satin black. Came out nice.Did you use the aluminum feed from the S4RS kit in combination with another hose kit?

The pipe and hoses as shown in the pic are available as a kit from Ducati.
The Samco silicon hose kit for an S4R will come with a preformed hose, I guess you could cut pieces off the ends to use as joiners for the aluminium tube.

Both the S4 and S4R share the same coolant circuit on pre-Testeretta engines. The Testeretta motors are extremely similar from what I have seen after looking at some pictures. I think that the thermostat on Testeretta motors is different.
