I am doing the throttle body coolant bypass and was curious what you guys used for a hose to make the connection from the top of the intake to the heater valve thingy. It has to make that sharp 90 bend then shoot straight out to the valve. I have also moved my valve to the outside of the smog pump because the T-Ram goes from valve cover to valve cover.

Any help would be great, thanks.

I went 2 AutoZone and bought 1 of those connectors that joined the stock hoses 2gether along with some clamps . I didn't move my heater valve, yet.

 

i just bought 1 piece of rubber tube with the 90* bend in it already ,, it looks really nice.. ill see if i can find the part # for you.. or just go to the auto part store and ask for that size rubber tube with a 90* curve in it..

 

I just bought a 1 foot (too long! 8 inches is prolly better, but since they charge by the foot, get that much and cut it down later) of regular hose. It bends fine, and works much better than my previous setup:

I HAD a lil copper pipe coupler connecting the two stock hoses... It's all my fault, i'm sure, but it sprung a leak driving down the road... Noticed bunches of white smoke pouring out of my hood... And who can forget that lovely smell!

But I have no trouble bending the hose around.. But a bendy piece may be nicer..

Just buy a new piece of hose. I joined them together with a splicer or somthing, and it broke appart and coolant went all over the place and f*cked up my radiator.

why screw around with having hose make a 180 degree bend.. get some 5/8 (or whatever size your tb lines are) remove the hose, and cap them off.. looks much nicer and functions just as well...

 

I found the perfect hose last night along with some caps for the TB. Should be mint! Thanks for all of your help!
