I'm looking for a 12" or so silicone hose to fit around the throttle body, all i seem to find is 3.5" ID, and i'm pretty sure that won't fit around the throttle body.

take your TB to the local catapilar parts place

 

Is that what everyone else is doing? I didn't even think about that, i might have to check that out. thanks.

its 4" that is the size needed but here is one place that may have a lot of problem solvers for you.

where can i buy this tubing anyway?

i was trying to make a list of places that MIGHT have it... before i go all over town, can anyone tell me if places like this carry silicone tubing?


marine engine shops
construction machine repair places
RV places (dont they use that hose for the water/waste connectons?)

Thanks for the links, i could actually use some of those. But for the throttle body i'm actually looking for a straight shot of 4" hose if anyone knows of any.

that is really wierd it was a cut and paste link from the browser window how odd

 

Here is where I bought some for my throttle body. The site only lists up to 3" but they carry bigger stuff.

Baker Precision

They were also the cheapest I could find for what I needed. Fast service too.

 

Sweet, thanks for the site, i just emailed em asking how much it would be. I just got the intake piping completed for my setup, will be posting more pics soon for anyone that's been following, it looks like it's going to work out quite well.

Thanks again guys.

I've been using a 3" (really 3.5") ID plumbing mission band. It will stretch over the TB. Cost is about 5 bucks.

 

So a 3.5" id silicone hose will stretch over the throttle body? I'm just making sure cause 3.5" id i can find, it's just the 4" i'm having trouble with.

i THINK what he is talking about is made of rubber, not silicone.

 

For the throttle body you will need 4". There is no way 3.5" silicone will fit. I used a 4" to 3.5" silicone reducer on my car from the company link I posted above.

 

Sorry, I should have been clearer about that. Yes its rubber, about 1/4" thick.

Gotcha.
I've found a place that sells a 45 degree 4"ID silicone connector which would be better for what i'm doing, but it's $86. I have a 4" radiator hose in line to buy off of a semi truck in the JY, but it's not a for sure thing. Thanks for the links guys, looks like i'm going with the online sale.
