I am going to install a boost gauge in my FD. But I don;t know how to hook up the nylon tube firmly with the fitting...
Can someone tell me how to play with these "little guys"????? Pictourial Instruction will be appreicated~

thx thx

 

zip ties.

 

You will need to take a short length of heavy duty rubber hose that fits snugly over the nylon hose and the fitting. Crappy hose will collapse when it gets hot (and it will ). Firmly zip tie it like meddle mentioned.

 

yes
i got the hose
but i just don't know how to connect together~~

i will attached a pic showinh what i have later~
thx

 

here u go!!

 

Slip one end of the hose over the nipple on the intake and slip the other end over the nylon tube. Silicon sealer helps keep the rubber/nylon connection airtight. Make sure to shorten that rubber hose to a reasonable length. The instructions should cover just about everything else.

 

so
how to tight the nylon tube to the boost guage??
use teflon seal also??

 

The instructions that come with the gauge cover that. Supposedly you don't need to use teflon when its a brass/brass connection but it certainly won't hurt.

 

Teflon tape won't do anything for this type of fitting, since the threads don't do the sealing. Just follow the instructions for hooking up the gauge side.

 

I have tried to follow the diagram~
however the diagram seems not clear enough to me...
I just want to know how to lock the nylon tube to the brass fittings or the gauag ???

thxthx

 

In the middle of one of the brass fittings, there should be a small "olive/ferrule" or a tiny hollow-drilled sphere the same diameter as the nylon hose. The hose goes through that, and when you tighten the brass fitting it crushes and creates an interference fit. That is what secures the nylon hose to the fitting.

 

O
how "tight" is tight for the nylon tube and the fitting???

 

Come on now... just use your best judgement.

 

u know what
i have tighted them up before,
but the tube still easily slip out~~
so ...
