hey guys im doing teh rebuild in less than 2 weeks... its taking me so long cuz 1k is alot of money for a poor hispanic kid thats 18 years old. Anyways thank you for helping me on my thread about my car not starting afer premix.. anyways i need to know what size diametter and lenght do i need to get for the coolant hoses around the TB and the manifolds.. also i need the sizes for all the heater hoses and the sizes for the 90degre and weird shape lines ( are those vacumm line sif so,, nevermind cuz i have the vacumm lines sizes ) anyways any otehr weir dshape lines to... also don't forget the line by the air intake ( damn thats a vacuum too right )...
anyways all the lines yeah! thank you gusy u are the best friend a lonely fat hispanic kid can have.. ( not including my 1988 rx-7 n/a GXL edition!! )

 

oops i forgot the fuel lines im an ***.. what size are those

 

Fuel line = 3/8. 5/16 will also work. The coolant lines around the tb/UIM are also 3/8 or 5/16. Just a guess but I think the heater core hoses are 7/16.

 

thanx drox.. anyone else have a clue?? about them which size is better ?? and how many feet?

 

most of them are pre shaped and fitted... you are better off getting them from the dealership.

the heater hoses and one under the TB will be a pain unless you get the pre bent ones made to fit.

 

so which ones are they 3/8ths or 5/11??? an dhow much feet of them should i get for the entire engine?
also inee dto know how much feet of the coolant bypass lines i need???.. whats a good way of pulling them all the way threw? i keep making holes on the hoses i buy with the pliers

 

WHICH ONES ARE THEY!!! is getting close to getting the engine out of the car ( 2 days max ).. I need you guys to help me figure the hoses sizes and lengths!!

 

I used 3/8 for my fuel and coolant lines. I have all my emissions and vacuum rack removed. I think I used about 8ft?

 

ok so guys here we go: this is all i need and i should be ok right?

3.5mm= 22ft
6.0mm= 6ft
10mm= 2ft
3/8"= 10 ft

This will include every vacuum and coolant bypass/ fuel hose in the entire car? My car is a non-turbo 88 by the way... I'm I missing anything.... the only thing i have taken out is the oil metering pump and the 4 oil metering pump lines along with the oil injectors ( I went premix) so i don't ned that one vacuum hose that goes on top of the T/B so besides that i should be set right?

 

Do you have your full emissions system in tact? Mine is fully removed and I used:

10mm - 24 inchs
6mm - 50 inchs
4mm - 60 inchs
3/8 fuel line - 72 inchs

Mind you I have a boost gauge and a MBC which adds quite a bit of hose onto the list.

But what you have on your list should cover your car.

 

yes everything is intact...
so basically all i have taken out is the OMP and the OMP components.. oh And all teh A/C **** except fo rthe compressor cuz i stripped the bolts can u help me on that? how to get it out?

yeah so u used 4mm instead of 3.5 easier fit?

 

Honestly .5mm is not a big difference when talking about vac line (it stretchs). If you use 3.5mm just put a little KY on the nipples... makes it easier to slide them on.

 

ky stands for?

 

Don't they have sex education in Florida?

 

sorry im a forigner.. so im I rigth about teh sizes and lengths?

 

3.5mm= 22ft
6.0mm= 6ft
10mm= 2ft
3/8"= 10 ft
Come one guys .. anyways all my emmisons are intact excpet for one lonenly vacumm line i took of due to premixing... so do teh sizes and lengths above sound good enough?? what about the big *** hose attached to the engine.. has anyone in this forum ever replaced every single hose.. i man every single one? i have a 88 N/A

 

I doubt youll need 22ft of 3.5mm. Or 10ft of 3/8. But its always good to have some spare stuff laying around. And KY is a sex lubricant. Works pretty well when trying to fit something into a tight hole

 

can i buy it at walmart?... can i use anything esle besides ky or whatever... i don't wann aask the guy ta walmart... where are the sex lubricants sir?

 

you can buy KY-JELLY at wally-world aka Wal-mart

 

Yeah you can get it any where. The reason why I like it is because its water based, not petroleum. It should be near the pharmacy.
