any1 know where i should go to find a good heat resistant vacuum hose kit for my car.

 

Try the search button. This was covered again, a week or two ago.

 

RX7store.net Here's the link to thier hose kit: http://www.rx7store.net/category_s/88.htm

 

I went with www.hosetechniques.com

They have an rx7 specific kit, this basically means they charge you a bit more but give you tons of extra tubing. Overall the tubing worked great.

 

rx7store sells the same kits, but $20 cheaper.

 

Nah cheaper price is for FC's

 

How about Autozone for some good old black rubber vacuum line? Like a dollar a foot. I had a problem with some of the silicone line being too soft and collapsing when it was hot.

 

I use http://www.bakerprecision.com/hosetech.htm

A lot of members use it and love it.

 

Is it just me or it is soooo much cheaper to buy the kit @ 118$ then buying like 40 ft of 3.5mm (which they don't have ) and all the rest off Baker.

Alex?

 

i got my viton hose kit from High Temp Silicone

 

Still seems like everything is WAYYYY more expensive than buying the kit.

They sell 3.5mm @ 4.33$ a foot for 40ft thats 173.20$

 

I've seen/used some of the other stuff... I'll pay the price of Baker for the good stuff.

 

The Viton kit that I got from High Temp Silicone in the original buy was well priced and has held up perfectly for 2 years so far. Very resistant to kinking, too. I would choose that kit again without hesitation.

 

Hmmm , I guess I am just on a cheap streak right now......

But I agree that there is a price to be payed for quality.

 

I used the rx7store kit for a few hoses. Haven't had to do them all. I also used DaleClark's check valves.

 

Hose techniques is what I use.

 

hose techniques from Rx7store.net and the infamous Dale clark check valves.

edit: Viton check valves.

1 1/2 years no hesi problem.

 

Hose kit from High Temp Silicone, Viton all the way baby, and of course Dale's check valves!!

Check out the OE replacement kit. Everything is formed to fit!

Malloy Mazda, 888-533-3400. Ask for Ray Crowe. Great prices, quick shipping, knows his stuff!

BTW, I used the Hi Temp Silicone Viton kit, and it was great.

 

isnt that Hi Temp Silicone Viton kit expensive?

 

Yeah, it was ~$270, IIRC.

 

Fortunately, I did every vacuum line with the HTS Viton kit and had half the kit left over. If you're not wasteful, you can do what I did and sell the extra half. The same is true for any of the kits, since they have the same lengths and sizes.
