hey all, in the process of putting a gtr bov on my s14 and just wondering what sort of hose to use for the return line to the inlet? i want something cheap and effective

cheers guys

depending on the diameter, get some cheap radiator hose with the right bends in it, then cut it up to suit where you want it installed.

hose might cost you all of $5

i was hoping the get something straight that bends so i can just cable tie it to certain places, is there any material i shouldnt use cos it might melt?

pre bent ones are probably better, bending them too much causes kinks in the hose, i had that happen

dont cable tie it. use some clamps

and yeah like mok said, buy bends, dont try bending the hose it will kink and potentially block the pipe

nah i wasnt going to use cable ties to clamp the hose, i mean just to hold it out of the way of the engine. ill use hose clamps at either end

wat about that hose you see on some cars that goes to the oil catch can, the clear stuff with yellow hatching of material, if ya know what i mean.

also what should i use for the vacuum line, i bought bost ordinary vacuum line and also fuel line, will the ordinary one suck in or should it be fine?

Regular old vacuum line will be fine for the BOV signal. 1/4 inch fuel hose can also be used if you are paranoid and want something reinforced.

As for the return, stick with radiator hose if you want cheap. It won't let you down. The clear stuff is pretty ordinary and tends to melt. Or silicon hose but thats pricey stuff.
