need helps with oil catch can hose...
Hey guys, I know a lot of us are running some sort of oil catch can in our Z. My question is what kind of rubber hose are you guys using?
I got the Greddy catch can and the hose that come with it gets kind of soft and some section of the hose become pinched under the heat and pressure. You can also hear some whistling noise after driving the car for a while.
Then I switch to GoodYear fuel injector hose, it seems to be stronger...but it still become pinched (not as much compared to Greddy hose) from the heat and pressure.
So, I just want to know if these are better rubber hose out there that would work better....or.....this is normal for using rubber hose?
Thanks

from JEGS website - the length is in feet, but the diameter is AN
"Compatible with all synthetic lubricants, fuels, oils, coolants, and alcohols (including methanol), this hose was developed to meet strict racing specifications. It's available in -4, -6, -8, -10, -12 AN and -16 AN in lengths of 3, 6, 10, 15, and 20 feet. The hose is constructed from a seamless nitrile inner tube with a stainless steel inner braid and high-tensile stainless steel outer shell to resist high pressure, temperature, and abrasion for reliability at a price you can afford. NHRA accepted."

The AN size standard nomenclature goes by 1/16" of an inch. It measures the inner diamter of the AN hose. So a -3 AN is 3/16" of an inch. -4 AN is 4/16" aka 1/4".
And it is pronounced "Dash 3, A, N."
Don't walk up to the parts counter like a noob and say I need "Negative 3, an." LOL
Fuel line or heater hose are both good alternatives to the fountain drink machine hose that's become "JDM" style. If you are getting kink's in your hose you're trying to bend too small of a radius into the hose. Find a way to route the hose better so it doesn't kink.
