i didnt use any tie wraps at all on any hoses...mine are a tight fit and just stay on.

I\'m gonna do mine as soon as my hoses appear. I\'d use tie wraps mate, but to be safe.

Like you said, you don\'t want any popping off!

[interloper393]

yeah most of them we`r hard to push on lol, i just used the tie wraps for a bit of added security, but like you say, probly wont need them

Hey i`ll say one thing tho.. i enjoyed doing it lol.. quite relaxing
Iv done a fare bit and put it all bck together, ran out o hose lol..

But yeah if anyone wants to give it a go, its a doddle

I did mine with Viton hose and put tie wraps on, no issues seen.....yet !!!!

[Jit]

i did mine with viton hose....it was good in places but on some hoses, it split really easily. Wasnt best impressed with that tbh

[gmogle]

Really ? Mine was tough as old boots !!!!

[interloper393]

do you guys notice that the pipes kinda go squashed when the engines warm? is that just them getting sucked flat?

[Jim_rx7]

I tried to get some Viton hose, but went with silicon hose in the end.

Still waiting on it coming though!!!

How much hose did you use mate? I\'ve got 3metres coming.

Also, did you just do under the UIM, or did you go the whole hog? (wanna do mine? .. lol.)

[interloper393]

You`l need more than 3m i think lol.. i`ll do yer nest if you want m8, dosnt bother me i enjoyed doing it,.. theres a thread on here that tells you the total amount you`ll need to do the whole engine.. jus cant find it lol..

But i pulled a pile of broken/split ones off and FOOK!! me what a difference it makes, the power is awsome.. I WANT MORE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jim_rx7]

lmao... well I\'ll see you next Saturday then mate!

[Jit]

yeah some of them split and the engine hasnt even done 300 miles yet....bit disappointed tbh as i thought id allowed enough room so they werent being forced agaisnt the metal pipe ends.

[markrx7]

bringing this thead up quickly....

wanna redo all the other pipes that have been left in the rats nest on mine now, had it down to reworx twice now for boost problems and both split pipes and its starting to be expensive now!

can anyone tell me what hosing to get? or at least what size etc so i can go get it from my local place.

[interloper393]

think for the nest you need 35metres of 4mm pipe bud, and loads 100 tie wraps lol..
