well it was on k2rd's site. but, it's gone. could someone please list what sizes, and how much of silicon vacuum hose i need? want to do this pretty soon when the engine arrrives.

 

Yeah I've been looking for this too. Some performance shops sell kits, but I'd rather buy the hosing, it's always nice to have some extra around.

Cheers

Sorry about that, the info is being moved.&nbsp Look for a new site in the new year in a couple weeks...

Right now, get 30' of the 3mm/4mm, 10' of the 6mm, 2' of the 10mm (this is for the brake booster if you're going to replace it).

This is primarily for 1986-1988 Zenki FC turbos...
The 1989-1991 Kouki turbos run a little more hose due to the wategate solenoid control.

cool thanks ted

 

I was pretty sure that I checked and some of the hoses like the bac valve to intercooler were 12mm, or was I wrong? Also, I replaced the brake booster hose and after driving noticed it was completely collapsed and flat so I put the factory hose back on. If you put something in the middle of the hose would that fix that problem?

 

Hey Ted,

Thanks for the information. Out of curiousity, how much extra hose is needed for the 89-91 TIIs? (And which diameter hose)

Thanks a lot!

You could be right.&nbsp I've got a GReddy BOV kit installed, and I couldn't use the stock sized hose under there.&nbsp I went the expensive route and bought a SAMCO 5/8" to 3/4" reducer for $35(!!!) to replace this hose, since the GReddy pipe adapter was slightly larger than 5/8"!&nbsp So I guess the 5/8" ID equivalent would work in this case for stock set-up, but who sells 12mm "vacuum" silicone hose?

I'd say another couple (2) feet of 3mm/4mm hose should cover it.&nbsp Remember, my estimates are on the long side, so you're going to get some leftover...
