OK. Founds some. But I have to order 100. Any takers for 10 of them for $10 (shipping included)? PM me.

 

They are the same as above. Three-Way Brass Tee Connector Hose Size (ID) 1/4".

 

The 4mm silicon hose is 5/32". These should fit nicely.

 

or the other sizes are: 5/16" or 3/8"

OK found some others. HOWEVER, all sides are the same and the 5/32" size is the outside Diameter of each connection. "its just under a 1/4 of a inche. the inside is about a 1/8 of a inch" -reply from seller.

 

What do you guys think? Will they fit?

 

They are $0.95 each and I have to buy like 55 of them so the price would be the same plus shipping. Who's still interested?

I printed out the vacuum diagram and went to go see how easy it was to follow, and it really isn't terrible. I will probably be doing the vac lines very soon. I also located the hose you said might break the s/c. That was the hose that the mouse ate in my engine about 6 months ago. It set off the CEL, and threw a P0304 Piston #4 misfire. I replaced the line after driving 40-50 miles to and from Mazda to pull the code and a couple of autoparts store. It has been at least 5,000 miles and i havn't had any CEL or problems with my s/c.

T-Fitting Sizing Chart:

I think those should fit, the 5mm hose can fit on a 4.76mm OD fitting, so a 4mm should fit on a 3.97mm OD fitting.

I did my retro fit yesterday. Took all day and had to remove the intercoolers and the connecting tube. three T's total and 21 feet of silicone hose. :)

a real PITA!!! I put a piece of rubber heater hose over the T's. About 2 inches long and slit it down one side (like a hot dog bun) and slid it over the T. Should protect it nicely. I think this is better than the Brass. The brass can transfer heat better and may fry/melt the hose it is attached to. Especially if it comes in contact with metal.

 

All the Codes are gone but the P0304 returned. i guess I'll have to try another coil pack......

 

Runs A WHOLE LOT BETTER THOUGH.

I went to home depot today and the smallest they had was 3/8, but i found this online

3/16'' brass 'T'

its more expensive than the 55 for 40 though

 

I just replaced a broken plastic tee, with another cheap plastic one, i really would like to get brass.

How many T's are needed? it looks like about 5 or so from the diagram

 

edit: 5/32 is actually the better size
