I called Hose Techniques since they haven't had any black silicone vacuum hose in stock for weeks and the customer service rep told me they have discontinued making vacuum line. Baker precision doesn't have 4mm or 6mm anymore. I'd like to avoid McMaster, and the local parts stores seem to think silicone is just colored rubber.

Where is everyone getting the good silicone vacuum line at these days?

Hi performance. This is where I got mine. No complaints so far

Silicone Hose Kits - 7 colors

 

Turbosmart.

 

+1 on Boostcontroller.com. I've bought a good amount from them, same hose thickness and resistance to kinking as the HT stuff, but for a MUCH better price. They ship quick, good stuff, fair price. No reason to look elsewhere IMHO.

Hoses Techniques has temporarily stopped having SVH made as demand for it has almost stopped. When and if demand increases, they will restock it.

They told me that if I wanted to invest $4000, they would restock it.

They are also in the process of opening a store in Japan. If demand there for SVH is great enough, they will restock it.

 

I've always used Bake Precision:

Silicone Vacuum Hose, Clear hose, black silicone vacuum hoses, Red vacuum hose, silicone tubing

The quality was better than HT in the past. I'm only saying "was" as I haven't placed an order with them in a few years so I don't know if they are using the exact same hose today.

 

how many feet of 3.5 mm and 6mm to completely redo stock system?

 

I just bought 30 feet of 3.5mm and 10 feet of 6mm off of Hose Techniques site two days ago. Maybe it's just black they don't have? I got blue. Hopefully mine shows up okay.

 

You'll likely need 30-40ft of 3.5/4mm and 10ft of 6mm to do a stock car. I would get the extra hose, it will come in handy down the road.

 

why bother doing the system the stock way? i made that mistake. its pretty pointless. going non-seq or simplified seq is better. imo

 

Simplified sequential is the way to go.

 

I am going to go back to sequential. Currently I am Rich man's non-sequential and I miss the low end response.
I needed a rough idea on hose lengths. I would like to relocate the stock solenoids and use the custom solenoid rack design for simplified sequential, but I am having a hard time gathering all the information on the vacuum routing. Might have to buy AzE rack setup just to get the detailed instructions lol
