Ok so this isnt a big problem but i know it cant b helping the engine. My recirc hose is positioned in a way that its almost kinked closed.

Anyone got any better ideas on how to route this?

Only thing I could think of would be the cut the hose in half and put some type of "U" in place. It could be plastic or metal but something that comes bent and wont kink.

You could try something like this, A flexible radiator hose has a little more structure so it doesn't kink like that. If not I would go with the U piping.

Some PVC fittings and just use that hose as couplers

Blue tubing from the plumbing dept at homedepot .

Personally I would vent....But if you must, they make moulded 90deg bends. siliconeintakes.com. Check them out

Venting is bad news, youll run rich if you vent without proper mods.

Autozone or part stores of the like, have kink reducers that go around the hose to keep soft hoses from kinking at bends!

But the previous said solutions should work also!

Do you have pics showing your more of your franken-piping? I agree with the blue tubing, shouldn't kink so bad.

I was running into the same problem when recirculating by BOV, I actually used a plumbing J-pipe with some pieces of extra radiator hose I had laying around, worked perfectly.

That's what I did. You can pick up a j-pipe at the hardware store for less than 10 bucks but you'll probably need a pipe cutter or dremel to trim it the size you need

Can you post some pictures up?

Go to any parts store and get radiator hose with a bend in it.
