vac line sise

[p34ch3y]

dos it matter what sise you have

for years i have allways used 3mm,but scince removeing my PCV i now use that out let just for my dv now,but i now dont want any joins on that line and that out let i slightly biger than the other two so my question is would it be ok to use 5mm from that to the dv and it would only be on that line ,3mm for everything else

 

[mr_D]

im glad you have asked this because i want to know as well. 3mm seems to tight on my dv and i think it might be bucklin under pressure. I wanna use 5 as that is what my dv is.

Should think it would be ok because some run 4mm and its only 1mm bigger which isn't that much really speakin.

Well thats what i think

 

[Myki da Pyki]

If the dv lines coming straight off the inlet manifold i personally think it'l be fine running 5mm but for those who still have the N112's in place then i wouldnt go past 4mm

 

[p34ch3y]

yea straight from the mani to the dv mate , and i havent got any of them solenoid valves at all

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Should be fine on yours p34ch3y and Mr D's

 

[p34ch3y]

yea i think it will be ok, just wonderd if any one else had tryed this

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Mr D is trying it very soon iirc

I run 4mm all round and its fine.

 

[p34ch3y]

im gunna go for it, just on my dv line tho

Good man. Myki helped me completely remove mine last weekend. And i am going to be putting on some 5mm vacuum hose as well. And reason u wanna use 5?

 

[p34ch3y]

because the outlet i going to use is bigger and also i have swaped my dv30 for a 007 now and the vac hosetail off of that is gigger as well

 

[mr_D]

what size you running now. Im thinking of using 4mm but not 100% sure i wanna do it. Like i said mine is a 5mm outlet. 4mm should be fine though.

 

[p34ch3y]

3mm at the mo

 

[mr_D]

4mm would be better. 5mm would work though.

 

[p34ch3y]

whys that then

 

[mr_D]

well whats the out put on the top of ur dv. 5mm? Well 4 will just be that little bit tighter. 5 would work. Like i said i am thinking of using it.

 

[mr_D]

my dv was supplied with 5. But also with a clip for it as well.

 

[p34ch3y]

ive got all the clips in the world

 

[DPJ]

I use 5mm in most places - and a bit of 8mm here and there.

 

[mr_D]

then clip away my friend.
