Where to get them or do i have to order form Hose teqniques? Seen the ones they have at the parts store but they're **** ass ractive **** ass universal crap https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Would prefer black also.......

I bought mine from Hose techniques



Nice silver colour.

Corksport sells it.

Did you do your own job? Cause i just did some reading and everyone says it was the worst task at hand!! on Rob Robinettes site they say its not something to tackle for the light hearted

I did the FC myself, wasn't a hard job at all, of course an FD is a little more involved but it's the same basic principle, I don't see why you couldn't do it yourself.

I got tons of red if you want some

The only hard part is getting at them phillip screws. I strip two of them and had to use the good ol' hammer and cold chisel!



Other than that take your TIME! taking those old hard brittle vaccum hose. Mine was like hard plastic and not rubber anymore.



I twist them hoses and spraying some WD-40 before I pull it off. Never broke any nipples on any solenoids. I ended up with the one that canadian tire sells.



let me know if you need help

Yah, the worst part is breaking the nipples off the solenoids.



Removing the emmissions stuff at the same time ensures you have plenty of spares for the turbo control ones. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Thanx guys! well it looks like ill give it a try then....Colin how much do you want for the silicone you have?

As in removing the air pump completley and not re-installing it?

one more to add



with these cars, I have this "while you're there..."



change the Fuel Pressure Dampener, fuel hoses and even fuel pressure regualtor (if you like)

More than that. The air control valve that the air pump feeds to in particular.

You can take what you need I don't mind man..

Well i guess i should pull up my sleeves and throw on my lucky thong...errrrr, ahhhhhh oops, you didnt read that part. Try and tackle this mess and hope it fixes my boost issues. Man this is gonna be like throwing me in a nucular facillity "dont touch the red one............."

It's not that bad. Best if you can take off one at a time and replace it with new immediately.

Ya...well lets hope it goes ok. I'v been around the FC for years but the FD is some what new to me (working on it myself that is) Im tired of all these shops and want to see if i can do it myself....

Just want to make sure i get everything that should be done in there on top of the vac lines

thanx....I assume these are factory parts to order then?

Cool...thanx! What sizes do you have as i believe i need a couple different diameters? How do you want to work this to pick them up.......or should i swing by your "special garage" with the car?

yes sir!

LOL Why is my garage special?



I have two sizes.. The regular size which is all over the car (I have 20 ft left) and I have 10 ft left of the slightly larger size.



I need maybe 2 - 3 feet of the smaller size and that's all I need.

if my memory serves me right, you need a lot of 3.5mm at least 15'.

and others??

I pretty much used up all the hoses that vibrant has in their kit to replace all my hoses

According to Robs site you need 35-40 feet of 4mm and 10-15 feet of 6mm.

**** thats a lot of freaken hose....

Hose teq contains........



NOTE: HoseTechniques SVH kit contains:

- 40 feet of 3.5mm (all small solenoids).

- 15 feet of 4.0mm (Windshield washers and boost controllers).

- 16 feet of 6.0mm (larger air lines on engine).

- 4 feet of 8.0mm (larger air lines on engine).

... and SuperCutter, SuperSlitter, 120 Ties, decals and warranty card



So there is extra for airlines etc. Do you think its worth the $118 U.S plus shp, or should i just buy the feet needed from the roll at performance shop?

I didn't use near all of it. But I only had the 4 fuel and boost control solenoids left after. that means I took out like 8 solenoids or so.





They give you lots, it's nice hose, you can get nearly any colour, it comes with a cutter. It also came quick. Up to you.

The "kit" I got was for redoing an FC3S, I wasn't sure how much you needed for an FD..



I should have assumed it was an extra 30 feet if it's an FD LOL!

WTF. I called a few places and they only have imperial, no metric. Is it possible to use imperial instead of the 3.5-4mm and 6mm? Or will it not fit correctly.

It's rubber dood. It stretches.



1/8" will work fine. use 1/4" for the bigger ones
