Sourcing new vacuum lines for TII - what diameter though??
 

http://www.paragonperformance.com/Silicone%20hose.html

I don't know if there are other, less expensive, sites but I'd appreciate input.

I am going to redo the whole engine bay (hasn't been done since BEFORE the rebuild back in 2001/2002) and I don't know what sizes are used. I can try and guess-timate again but I'll end up with hoses that I can't use.

So, what are the sizes needed for the TII?

Should do the trick....

RETed for the save and he doesn't even know it. Thanks for the link. IT should help out future searches too.

looks like $90 + Shipping for 55 feet of vac hoses. Seems a tad high but it's cheaper than buying a car-specific kit.

umm, dude, ask kevin! I got 50 ft of 5/32 hose for like, $15 off ebay! 5/32 is what is used for most of the car, as Kevin said!

Hey look at that, for once I'm the one giving advice! :D

EDIT: but then, I got an S5 N/A so there might be a few hoses that are different!

Wow, both are the same link, amazing :uhh:

Maybe he is trying to make a point?

Maybe, either way I am just messing with him :D

lol, fixed, sry about that... Anyway, now check my other thread! :D

Very very nice :D

no, the "other" other thread, the one with all the wiring questions! :D

Damn :( I am too tired :rofl:

That stuff may be cheaper, and would probably work in certain applications, but in my mind I would consider that hose to be very different from a high quality silicone vacuum hose.

I urge you to compare a quality silicone hose next to a hose like the ones linked above. You should be able to tell a difference.

Just my $.02, but I don't know much...

^^^ I was thinking the same thing. I dunno, 90+ shipping is still cheaper than the car specific kits and I'll get a lot of hoses!

I think that silicone is over-rated, since the hose I listed is OEM rated, and silicone only has limited tolerance to gasoline and oil, which cant help but be present in an engine bay...

Also, I happen to like black, and to me a bunch of blue or red silicone hoses scream rice-a-rony a little too much. Maybe If I had a GT42R to back it up? :lol:

I say, it's your money. If you think that silicone hoses are THAT much better, then go get em! The reason I posted my advice is that the same advice was given to me earlier by Kevin Landers when I needed help.
