Breather hose to Intake brainstorm.

Postby narita » Tue Jun 24, 2014 6:49 pm

Afternoon gents,

Check it, i am trying to work out a way to run the breather hose into the intake pipe.

i would rather not have anything that could come loose in the intake. Such as washers or nuts.

here is the intake.

i am considering using a plastic 15mm male union with silicone for extra air tightness.

any suggestions welcome

Looking at that image you've got your MAF installed the wrong way around......

As to where you can get these from..
clicky here for EBAY
But you are looking at 2 weeks and at least $40 (the cheapest is from the tougefactory) for what is basically a barb fitting.

or PM simon/lokiel or billybunter and see if they have any left

Maybe take the pic emily_mx5 supplied and got to your local industrial hose joint and see if they have suggestions/alternatives.


and because I couldn't resist...

Anyone else in Sydney want one of these fittings? Found this ebay listing with reasonable freight per additional piece.

I will split the freight with anyone else who wants one.
