hose bits/breathers

[sultan]

does any one know where i can get a hose T piece or similar that has two 14mm nipples and one 20mm nipple?

is for vac hose so doesn't need to handle liquids. or perhaps hose reducers?

I Might be able to get one made up in Stainless steel for you if that's any good?

Need to give me the lengths...

Cheers

that would be A1. It's only to join three lengths of hose together so maybe 2 inches on each nipple with a small barb for hose clamp. the 14mm passing through on either side with the 20mm T-ing off. how much would this cost?

go to repco, they have plastic joiners, tees, all for cheap as.

i have a catch can/breather at current, which has the two breathers off the heads going to it. i'm planning on plumbing the crank case breather into one of the hoses that goes to one of the head breathers and sharing it with . it's a 20mm outlet on the crank case but i was going to down size it to 14mm and T it into the 14mm hose. Is this a good idea, or would this be overworking that one 14mm hose?

or is the crank case breather so vital that i should not only give it its own dedicated hose, but also not downsize it to 14mm too?

going from 20mm to 14mm is effectively halving the flow. i would have a single hose from the crank case and heads, with the heads being joined near the tank somewhere..

oooh you want that three way breather thingy..

i found it randomly in my box of bits today when looking for something else.

i a factory one, you want?

[sultan]

i think i know the one you mean. that one is so close it's not funny. infact that's the factory part for what i'm replacing. however it's 20mm and 16mm. the hoses that i have are 14mm though (doh).

[funkytown]

il try and have a measure up today for you, its the one at the back of the bellhousing near the crank breather. and the two other outlets are offset, not 180 degs apart.

[sultan]

yeah that's the one. it takes the 20mm from the crank breather, and splits it off to one that goes to the intake manifold and one to either the iacv or throttlebody i think. not sure as my one was blocked off on this third connector

[funkytown]

yer thats it - i have one whole and complete i took off my car when doing a catch can.

[sultan]

opinion?

oil sandwich plate adapter - pipe fitting sensor - thread tape or thread/gasket sealant?

[Guest boostcut]

thread tape.

[DRFVDR]

or both

when I was doing LPG/CNG Bowser installs the correct procedure for all threaded joints was PTFE sealant then PTFE tape then at least 15 full turns damn regulations

[Guest boostcut]

my thread tape holds 10,000 psi on an excavator for years.. so it should hold 120psi for a couple minutes

the problem with the anerobic liquid sealants is the excess that falls into the oil galleries. you dont know its gone in until something fucks out.

Did it work??

haven't put the car back together yet, but mate that piece is awesome it'll work extremely well. thanks a heap
