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

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

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.
