Ok, me and buddy are going to replace all the hoses in my car. How can I get a map from some where online. Or detail on where to start with and stuff. And where do you all order all the hoses and stuff from? How long is the whole job gonna take me?

Thanks a lot for help

Make sure you slice and twist the old hoses off and do not tug on them.
4-5 hours depending upon your skill.


Youre welcome

 

Do I have to take my engine out? How come some of my friends told me I need a lift?

 

No you will not need a lift. Thats just goofy man. You will need to rmove the throttle body and Upper intake manifold. Make sure you research this stuff on the link above before you start. It should have all the info you will need.

 

BTW since you sound kindof like a newbie. I would highly suggest that you book mark that site and Read it all. Also check out Rob Robinettes site. It should be linked from Lightning in a world of thunder.

 

To the engine parts? I am totally a newbie. I only know about parts. Cause I hang out at a shop all the time. But I am the only one drive an rotary there. so...........I am trying to learn.

Thanks a lot for the help:

IMO, hook up a boost gauge. If your boost pattern is normal, DO NOT do the vacuum job.

Don't create problems if you don't already have any...

 

I agree with Mahjik. Removing the rats nest will be a pain in the ***. I wouldn't do the replacement unless you are having problems or you are pulling the rack for other reasons.

 

You don't need to pull the rats nest to do a vacum hose job. What are you two talking about. I say If they are stock hoses get rid of them. They will only crack and blow off later. Might as well fix it now.

 

BOTTOM LINE

 

What I'm talking about is all these messages of people having boost problems. Over half of them are caused by people doing maintenance when they don't need to.. They are trying to do preventive maintenance and in return creating problems that didn't exist before.

If it ain't broke, don't break it. That's my motto. We are all just giving advice, people can take it or not. Why argue?

 

BOTTOM LINE!!

I know two people who including myself who have popped an engine by loosing their wastegate hose
at the track. I noticed my car was topping out really
wierd, when I looked at the boost gauge it was pegged.
I still have nightmares..

Im now a proud member of the tie-wrap club..
havent lost a hose since..

 

That also depends on the car. If the car has a rebuilt or reman engine in it with less than 20k on it. Chances are the hoses are possibly in good shape (depending on how and who installed the engine). Simply saying "change them" without knowing any background of the car is ridiculous in my eyes.

Bottom line, we are just giving advice.

If it's not broke, don't mess with it. If you don't agree, that's fine, do your own thing and post your advice. Neither one is more correct than the other as they are just opinions.

 

Hey Mahjik I wasn't trying to argue with you by saying what are you two talking about. I was simply trying to state that you do not need to take out the rack to do a hose job. I have no problem with your advice of leaving it be. But my advice is still to swap them to silicone...

Spread the love man.

 

One last thought..I have yet to get a pm from somebody needing help with a boost problem that has done the swap and zip tie with silicone hoses. I get plenty with stock hoses.

 

Oh yes, I agree about the rack.

No problem Fd3BOOST, I took your message the wrong way. It seems more people on the forum want to argue more than help so I tend to get a little on the defensive side.
