Regarding all of the various little coolant and vacuum hoses at the intake manifold/TB, many from our vintage are going discontinued from honda. What is the general approach for replacing these? Is anyone bending their own or are you just going with generic straight tubing?

 

I too rather have the original molded hoses for my Civic...My integra got most of the new hoses after 2017...

I wonder does honda sell bulk hoses for coolant and vacuum lines? I know the washer fluid hose is bulk size and I recall, but currently cannot find that apparently Honda sells bulk fuel or pcv hoses that you cut yourself.

EDIT: it looks like they by diameter https://www.bernardiparts.com/Honda-...45001-10M.aspx

Unsure of other diameters though

 

Yeah, maybe I'm missing tutorials somewhere, but i'm kinda surprised there isn't anything on HT how to make your own prebent lines. I think it might just involve a heat gun? but yea, I was wondering if you can use any old tubing.

 

You can always buy silicon coolant and vacuum lines, they don't kink like the standard rubber lines.

 

Can anyone recommend a quality silicone hose kit? I see some on ebay but I hesitate to buy something that might shed crap into the system.

 

I bought ebay silicon vacuum line for our fleet that require replacements and have held up over the years have no clue on coolant lines, they usually get replaced with auto parts store hoses. The only thing I don't like about silicon specific lines for compact cars is they usually have some riced out colors not many black hose kits.
