What are the sizes needed for the boost hoses etc because i think i might do the lot...also how much did you use/need?

ds2000

I think I ordered 60\' of 4mm and 15\' of 6mm.

I have a bit of both left over, quite a bit to be fair but its better to be safe than sorry.

I\'d say unless you are pretty competent with a spanner I\'d avoid this job, I\'ve rebuilt a bottem ends before and found myself getting frustrated with this one :)

Quote from: ds2000lol, I think its well worth checking, with braided hoses and jubilees on each of them, I can\'t see it leaking.  Going to make 100% sure though :)


id use rubber hosing mate if your using jubilees they dont work that well with braided hose and im speaking from experience as someone else has, optimax all over your spark plugs is not good.

Braided hosing is second to none if you are using the aeroquip style fittings but not if your sleeving it over a std metal pipe. Rubber can be compressed and even tho the braided hosing has rubber inside it doesnt work aswell and like mine did can leak.

^ thanks for the heads up, I did put sealant on the lines but I\'ll definately keep my eye on them, I did do them up pretty tight, but as I say, I\'ll keep an eye on it :)
