Went to an auto store the only thing they could offer me was a same diameter radiator hose for $22

where can I get what I need?

 

Is that your car?? if so, do yourself a favor and replace those OEM fuel injector pigtails with teh 8.00 replacements from autozone.. Have them look up a 1998 Chevy Lumina injector connector. this will save you lots of headache later on.

My local NAPA has a bunch of silicone couplers hanging on the wall. We have a lot of pick up trucks that upgrade the turbos, etc.., and the hose couplings sell here. I don't know about other locations?

already replaced, that was an old pic

 

I got me a plumbing 2" rubber hose in the meantime. I will eventually replace the entire intake, just needed something to replace that ghetto hose

 

Thanks

 

 

Here is the new one btw

looks like the wire nuts are how he installed the new injector clips. looks sweet!

 

Yeah, that is major ghetto. That can cause issues with the injectors too. Those connections need to be soldered in.

Hey relax, I didnt have time to solder them yet. Car is sitting without a radiator and water pump. As soon as I get those in, I will solder up the injector clips and tape em up as well. BTW, I tried using cold heat on it, but that POS doesnt quite work right.

 

After I get my car running again I''ll do a rebuilt of the intake anyway.

 

I'm not a noob, that was just a temporary setting

its just a 2.25" silicone coupler...they have them on siliconeintakes.com great quality and a few different color choices

 

 

lol, I missed your post

http://www.siliconeintakes.com/product_inf...1eaf966221a6811

will that one work?

 

Also, will it work after I upgrade the piping? 2.25 a standard on upgrades?

And what should I use to tighten it with?

as far as the wire nuts they are better then an improper solder job. get some heatshrink butt connectors (nice ones, gardner bennet sells them under the exstream label.). If you dont have a good soldering gun you will most likely just create an inch long chunk of brittle wire that will be effected by vibration.

 

a staggered butt connector will never let you down

That's the one, I run a few couplers from them and they are very good quality. And yes 2.25 pipes would be a good upgrade. The original worm clamps will work fine, but if you wanna spent a few more dollars for t-bolt clamps it wouldn't hurt.
