Evo X licp to RA hose fitment question.

I am in the process of gathering the parts for the RA to X i/c change over. I have the X i/c and couplers and the X stock aluminium licp.
My question is about the hose that then runs from the licp up to the throttle body/manifold. Will the Evo x licp fit this RA hose with no problems or is the diameter different ?
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers
Brian.

I used Stock Evo BOV hose and cut it to keep the Stock BOV location on the RA. Connecting the lower curved part of the hose to the EVO X LICP your able to go around the battery tray. You can cut it like i did below or keep it full length and position the BOV more towards the rear like the EVO X.

Cheers for the reply.
I obviously didn't explain it quite clearly enough but you picture helps.
It's not the bov hose but the other one from the licp, in your pic it is behind the bov hose, the wider hose with the 'collar' just below the bend the bend.
This I take it is the oem RA hose and it fits the Evo x licp with no problem ?

Thanks
Brian.

Wish this helpful photo got posted before I went and bought an aftermarket LICP. Now I've got a spare LICP lol

...and remember - you need an EVO X LICP from a MR (not a GSR).

Cheers Veronica, only problems are

1 I've already got the LICP and no idea what it is from apart from Evo X !
2 Not coming from a Mitsubishi background at all I have no idea if MR or GSR spec cars are/were sold in the UK.

I shall see how I get on with what I have

Cheers
Brian.

What's the main difference between the two pipes?

The GSR doesn't have the 'dent' to accommodate the MR's cooler.

The aftermarket LICP I was looking at said "GSR-Only" but most aftermarket do not make that distinction...

I apologize that I do not have a better answer...

Ahhhk. Cheers

Yeah, I've only seen one after market LICP that actually makes the distinction.
