Just like the Subject title said! i need to know exactly how much of silicone tubing is needed to performe rats nest removal i need the following;
1) inside diameter,
2)how long and
3)what it is used for

If nobody can help me with 3, 1 and 2 are really needed no matter what i have to order this ****! asap! so that i can get it on my car when i reinstall my engine. I did seach but did not find what i was looking for!
Thank you in advance!

 

All I needed was approx 3 ft. Just to run from the pressure sensor to the intake manifold. But then again I replaced all my rubber hosing with silicone tubing, so it ended up being quite a bit more.......... But 3 ft is all you should need at the most, to get the car back on the road.

 

yes but i would like to do it right the first tiem so i would rather replace all of the brittle rubber hosing, with silicone tubing other than coolant lines. also i need diameter sizes. Thanx

This should have all the sizes, and lengths you need.

 

Its more of a question how many damn vacuum caps you need. If you find anywhere that sells them in a more bulk package let me know. I can only find stupid *** packs that have like 10 dif sizes. 2 caps in each box I can even use.... waste of ******* money when they are like 5$/box.

Yeah, I know what you mean!!! Canadian Tire in the help section................ I want to knwo too!

 

I would say atleast 5 feet of 4mm. maybe more like 10.

you need it for boost sensor, BOV, oil injector vac lines. FPR line, line between secondary injectors. and a couple more I think.

also depending on what you are doing with the oil fill vent line, and charcoal chanister. you'll need some of the 6mm. I'll need around 5 feet.

I'm riping my rack off next week. here's my plan. I'm just unsure which lines go where on the back of the upper intake. I'll find out when I pull it apart

 

you will also need fuel line probably 5-10 feet.

 

Scott you positive thats gonna work?

Cause I'm thinking of doing the same thing, and I'm looking for a schematic to go by. I here the FPR needs to go to the bottom nipple on the UIM, which would entail the TB mod. The others I'm unsure of.

How are you going to determine which line needs to go where to make it work?

 

well when you pull the intake off. you will be able to see which nipples connect before or after the TB's. (well with the TB off you will.. mine will be) after the TB means it gets vacum. which is needed for the FPR. I have no idea how many of the nipples get vac or not...

basicly when you take it apart. the lines will go back to where they where before. the other lines besides the fpr don't go to the rack. so they will stay the exact same.

 

If anyones done a layoput m,ap like scots for an NA A5 I WANT IT please!! everything seems to be A4 oriented and I know thier is a differene between the two in those subtle ways that caused me MUCH grief when doing something siilar to my 87 MKIII with 91 vac schmatics.. took me a week to play hunt and peck with that damn supra.

 

alright thanx guy's however i thaught that vacume tubbing was not good for oil whatsoever it will degrade and litterally fall apart!?

 

fuel line?

i never thought u would need to remove and reroute fuel in a rats nest removal.

I'm looking to done my as well... care to elaborate scott?

 

The fuel lines are part of the rats nest also. They go from hard lines to soft lines back to hard lines and once again soft lines that connect to the fuel rail.
When you eliminate the rests nest you run a soft line from the fuel filter to the rail and another from the hard return line to the rail.
Not sure how much sense this makes right now but when you take out the nest it will be obvious what needs to be done.

there is a vibrant vacume hose kit at Canadian tire, here is what it has! for $50.00
5feet of 3.2mm
10feet of 3.75mm
4feet of 4.5mm
4feet of 6.0mm
2feet of 10mm

Is that enough or do i need to get different stuff?
Also is 50Psi feul line sufficient?

 

jreynish

goto mcmaster.com
they are mcmaster carr

they will ship to canada. They pay for duty and shippnig... all you pay is GST.

I bought
100 Feet 4 mm
55 ft of 6 mm
15 ft of 10 mm

i think ... it came to just over 100 USD

 

5/16 Fuel Line should be sufficient to clear the metal lines removal. I got Good Year FL from Canadian Tire.

What are you guys doing with the Solenoid Harness Clips? Cutting them and tieing off the ends?

 

oil isnt going in the vac lines...where did u get that idea jreynish?

 

Cheers; Do you have any of that left? like that is ALOT?
if you do and are willing to sell me some what colour is it?

Rotory;on the diagram. from the charcoal canister to an oil catch can there is vacume tubing you have there? was that a mistake?

 

Do you mean his oil filler vent that runs to the catch can?

 

no he has an oil catch can and the vacume line goes from the charcoal canister, to the pressure sensor, and then to the oil catch can! but it doesn't matter! ed to know if the Vibrant package will be enough!

 

umm im not sure jreynish ive never heard of the oil catch can but im not a guru or anything just your average joe. it looks to me from his diagram that the oil from the filler vent will be ran through the charcoal canister and redeposited in the gas tank...that isnt right is it?? i thought charcoal was only for gas fumes or something like that im a noob dont flame!!!

 

jreynish,

its not that much... its enough to do 2 cars worth if you keep stock configurations.

the color is black... i would be happy to sell you some but hte cost will be exactly the same as if you ordered from mc master carr

the downside is that i'm not at my parent place which is 3 horus away and i'm busy with school... if you can wait until end of april then sure i'll ship you some.
