anybody know a better solution for recirculation tubing?

[jag987]

I'm pretty sure this will work, but it is kind of a monstrosity. It was super cheap, and I hope to through it out when I figure out something better.

Now I see why nobody wants to recirculare a bov!

WTF How are your fab skill's? I would purchase some mandrel bends and fab a pipe...

 

[jag987]

my fab skills are well, I dont have any at all, or a welder, or access to one, im thinking about getting Andre at pina to make me a metal pipe like this

 

[UGOT8UP]

Looks like you got them Home Depot skillzzz, Shouldn't cost much to have one made though.

 

[jag987]

oh ya, im a carpenter, but bubble gum and wire only goes so far

I went to a local hardware store here and found vacuum cleaner like hose that's a little stronger and still flexible. It has been working great, almost a year now and doesn't leak.

Thats fine. Some autoparts stores will allow you to go behind the counter and look at their entire radiator and heater hose collection. Just find one thats the right diameter and shape.
Mine is done that way...

that will end up catching fire ask Dan at Mach V (2001 shootout I think )

the pvc, or the vacume cleaner hose, I hope the pvc doesnt catch fire, you need under hood or intake temps to be retardedly high

I know its a cheap fix. But why didnt you use two 45's it would flow alot better than 2 90s

looks like hes got the right idea

Good thing its not summer yet..

Would it get that hot that far away from the exhaust manifold? Also wouldn't the PVC melt before it started on fire?

What would you recommend to use?

i used some kevlar reinforced fuel line that we use for our compressors at work. its virtually indestructible

The great thing about universal piping kits is that YOU decide where to place the BOV and at what angle. My BOV almost touches the recirc fitting on the intake.

I went to my local parts store and browsed through the back looking at radiator hoses and took them out to the car to see which one would actually work. It's been doing well ever since.

i agree with GSTyler ... the hose is high temp resistant cheap and easy to work with.

 

[OddNotion]

I used some Home Depot stuff that came in a huge roll. The diameter was perfect for the stock recirc fitting, but I had some issues with the Greddy fitting (which was smaller than the stocker).

You pay shipping, and I'll send you more than you can use!

vacuum line FTW!

 

[SpyderDSM]

Home Depot has tons of options, I used a braided clear tube that had an insanely high melting point. It was just a straight tubing so i heated up some water in the mirowave, soaked the piping (which is hard when at room temp and maliable at just below 110F) and just bent it and clipped it on, it works GREAT and doesnt leak. ill get a pic up in a day or two. It was litterally $7.

^ interested in those pics... I would like to see a beautiful solid recirc tube.
