what size do i need and how many feet??? i want to use silicone type hoses. thinking about buying the highemp silicone stuff on ebay, i dont really care about the color.

 

standard vacuum hose size, i think it's 5/16th.

 

um, no. if you don't know the answer, don't mislead the guy.

the guy from high temp silicon actually post on this board. you can get kits with all the different sizes of silicon hose you will need to do the rats nest either on rx7store.net or hosetechniques.com.

two pieces of advice:
1. don't replace the 2 hoses at the turbos as they have pills on there to control boost.
2. search for threads on replacing the hoses as many people break the solenoids when trying to get the rotted old hoses off.

the search button is your friend

 

can i just buy 40' of 4mm silicone hose and 15' of 6mm?? this is the only place i found info on length and size needed??? anything im missing?? 40' seems like alot of material for this job.

30' should be plenty to do the job. You want 3.5MM inside diameter if you buy it from hosetechniques.com If you get it from baker you want the 4.00mm.

www.hosetechniques.com or http://www.bakerprecision.com/hosetech.htm

 

what about the high temp silicone.com stuff??? 3.5mm or 4mm

 

the total kit we sell includes:

40Ft 3.5MM
16Ft 4MM
15Ft 6MM
4Ft 8MM

you will have a little left over.

 

or try www.siliconehose.net

 

high temp silicone is the man, he gave me a killer deal on a kit for 45 shipped, cant beat that anywhere else, thank high temp

 

PM'd you also High Temp. I dont think i need all that is in your kit though. I think 30ft of 3.5mm and 15ft of 6mm does the trick from what iv read, doesnt it??

 

Let me get this straight. You have no ******* clue what you need (the original post).

"High Temp Silicone" has a kit for the FD.

You reply that it's too much, can't you get by with less?
(how you figured this out prior to accomplishing the hose job is beyond me)

After you cut a couple hoses twice (& there still too short), you'll be glad you have extra.

It's better to have it & not need it, then to need it & no have it...................

 

for $45 bucks for the kit its a steal and its shipped

 

Best bit of advice I can give you that will save you *lots* of time and headache:

get one of those long thin grill lighters, and use it to heat up the ends of your stock rubber hoses. They will become pliable and pull off of the nipples much much easier. Of course, be careful so that you don't melt any of your solenoids or check valves.

 

I should claify. You have purchased the exact kit (lengths and ID's) but in our old blue AKA Superblue I made for Hose Techniques last year. As I mentioned as soon as all of this stock is gone it will not be sold or offered again. We have a new color to match all of our other colors.

We only have 200ft left in 3.5MM, several thousand feet of 8MM, 6MM (slightly darker color) and maybe 100Ft of 10MM. As soon as it is gone it is gone.

You tell me how much you want and I will make the deal.

3.5MM $.50/Ft
4MM $.35/Ft
6.0MM $.55/FT (slightly darker than the others)
8.0MM $.60/Ft
10MM $1.00/Ft

 

Because I have read SEVERAL times in posts, that is all you need. And the 8mm is not for the vacume lines but other stuff under the hood. I wouldnt have said it if i didnt read it. Why so bitchy Sled driver......didnt seem this way when i was a customer of yours buying pedels.!!!

 

Anyhow, I will be grabing the kit from you High temp in black.....thanx
shawn

 

Get extra -- you'll be glad you did when you want some more for a new BOV, rodents eat a hose, cut one with a flying wrench, etc.
