    got a few questions,

    1 michandy, have you got much vac hoses left or should i buy more?

    3 how many meters of efi hose should i get?

    In order to properly remove a plenum, the following tools are required:
    * 8mm socket, 10mm socket, 12mm socket, 12mm deep socket
    * ratcheting driver for the sockets
    * 8mm wrench, 10mm wrench, 14mm wrench
    * 5mm allen wrench
    * flex joint (universal joint)
    * long needle nose pliers
    * screwdriver (different sizes) for prying connectors, etc.
    If you have a 10mm carburetor wrench, you can use that instead of the 8mm socket and flex joint combination.
    And because the plenum gasket is made out of paper, anytime you remove the plenum, you should replace it with:
    * upper plenum gasket (Nissan part number 14033-30P02)
    If you decide to bypass the throttle body water hoses, you will need:
    * 4 feet of 6mm fuel line or water hose
    * 3 feet of 6mm vacuum line
    * 2 feet of 4mm vacuum line

    thats a list of some of the stuff we will need.

    thats the article that we will be following more or less.

    get the plenum gasket from one of the several places already listed, or call chris ezzupturbo.

    You need approximately 1.5 metres 5/16" high pressure efi hose to do all the lines on top of the plenum and the short section connecting the fuel rails.

    You need same amount of good quality 5/16" heater hose to perform the bypass.

    I would suggest buying some silicone spray to aid installation.

    You may also find that the OEM spring type coolant hose clamps don't fit thick walled aftermarket hose. Assuming you're using aftermarket hose for the bypass only I'd reccomend you but four hose clamps of appropriate size to make your life easier.

    Vac hose

    I'll bring along about 10-15 meters of 3mm vac hose, blue silicon.
    should be enough. I do have a few bits of other sizes aswell that I'll bring along :)

    No you need to buy efi hose for the fuel system and heater hose for the cooling system
