V6 Induction Hoses

[TurboTony]

I am struggling to find replacement hoses - the two which run from the AFMs to the plenum. I cannot find find much information on Google search either. I am sure that there have been some creative solutions from other owners! Any advice welcome.

Two sites I would look at would be Demon Tweeks and Car Builder Solutions, I have seen it on one or the other. Both very good firms to deal with.

Hi Tony, think there are various solutions with silicone hoses and metal bends?


My solution............... clicky

Thanks. I carried out a temporary repair about three years ago with amalgamating tape. The shiny stuff looks good and I will order a roll. It only takes a tiny split in the hose to upset the running of the engine.

Oh yes!


If they are "too far gone" I may be able to help

Mike. Thanks but after a re-wrap of the hoses where they sit under that bracket (mind you they did not seem have many issues) combined with a clean of the afms and throttle butterflies, J-LLO is pulling like a train. Before there was a hesitation, particularly when cold, on steady throttle. I have also given her an Italian tune. It may not have been the answer but it was great fun.

Throw the bracket away and use a couple of big tie wraps, won't chafe so easily


Either way, good to hear car is running well
