Anyone know the size tubing used on the stock vacuum line from the throttle body?


Thanks!

 

hah, i snip a small portion and went to kragen then i used their stuff to measure.

 

I used 3/8" fuel line, i think. either that or 1/4".

 

I'm fairly certain the vacuum line is 5/16"

 

OK I'm looking to buy a silicon vacuum line so I can hook up my vacuum block. Anyone have a good link for me where I can buy one?

 

My apologies its actually 5/32" hose. As for where to buy it the Turbonetics part numbers for it are:

30542-BK Silicone Vac Hose, 5/32" -Black
30542-B Silicone Vac Hose, 5/32" -Blue
30542-R Silicone Vac Hose, 5/32" -Red

Any Turbonetics vendor can get it for you in any of those colors. That part number is for one foot. Its sold by the foot. MSRP is $2.48 / foot. But you know how MSRP works...

 

Sweet thanks ROB!

 

Anytime...

 

Hey Rob, this is for the hose from the "T" to the BOV right?

If it is I'm looking for the size on the tubing from the throttle body....the stock Vacuum line. I just wanna make sure cause I was looking through my install manual from my kit and its 5/32 vac hosing but that hose is way smaller then the vacuum hose I'm talking about.

 

Ahh yes. That part I gave you is the size provided by Turbonetics. The stock one is probably 1/4". That part numbers for that are:

30543-BK Silicone Vac Hose, 1/4" -Black
30543-B Silicone Vac Hose, 1/4" -Blue
30543-R Silicone Vac Hose, 1/4" -Red

If you take a ruler out to the car and disconnect one end of the hose you should be able to see the approximate size of that hose. I don't know of any other diameter vacuum hoses though. Price is exactly the same though...

 

OK sweet. So when I measure just measure the inner size of the hole?


Thanks again Rob!

 

Yup. That line, like all lines are measured by inner diameter. It should be very close to either 5/32" or 1/4". Since we know its not 5/32" it should be close to 1/4".

 

I'll measure it thursday(my day off) to be sure. Anyway, so when did turbonetics make this 20 dollar flat shipping charge thing up??? I called my turbonetics dealer and for 3 feet of this tubing was like 6 bucks and 20 dollars to ship?!!!

 

First I heard of it. You sure thats a Turbonetics thing? Have you tried another dealer?

 

Well or any turbonetics stuff I go through turbokits.com where I bought my kit and he told me today that turbonetics has issued a flat shipping rate for anything at 20 dollars.

 

Hmmm. Like I said first time I heard of that. I'll ask the Sales Manager tomorrow though... not trying to persuade you to go elsewhere but Summit Racing carries this for $1.95/ft and they dont appear to have a $20 flat rate assigned. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...&autoview=sku\

Thats the blue hose but I'm sure they have black and red on there also..

 

cool thanks for the link.

Yeah dont worry about it. I dont really care who I buy from I'm just not paying 20 buck to ship something that doesnt even weigh a pound....lol

 

I hear you. There's other vendors too. www.jegs.com www.gspec.com www.forgedperformance.com like I said I'm not telling you to go elsewhere but I've heard of this $20 flat rate thing...

 

ebay has any color u want in all different sizes from 3mm to 10mm. just look up silicone vacumm hose on ebay and you'll find all you want. I paid 14 dollars for 30 feet of hose 3 different sizes plus shipping. less than 20 bucks shipped!!

 

sweet thanks for the tip!
