Does anyone know if a newage 76mm intake hose will fit a classic as in being the same length under the inlet manifold. Not worried about the outlet ports as they will be blanked off, just whether it will fit ok. I have a samco fitted at the moment bit need a bigger 76mm to fit a gt30 turbo. Thanks in advance.

Yes it will fit, you can get them without the all the connections, Lateral / RCM do them.

Great, thanks. Found a good second hand one and just wanted to check.

I've just done this on my classic, I had to get a newage power steering pump as the old one the head tank obstructed the hose. I had to mess about getting a pipe manufactured because the location of the banjo on the new pump was different to the old one. I have read that you can buy an adapter so you can remove your power steering tank and fit the remote bottle. I tried this but couldn't quite figure it out so I had a pipe made.

Another thing I did was remove the metal (black one) water pipe which runs under the inlet manifold. I found this to be in the way as well, I just bough 1m of 11mm silicone hose and routed it around the back of the inlet manifold to the head tank.

You can buy inlet spacers to probably solve this but I didn't want to use them

Hope this helps

Hope I should be ok as I have a relocated power steering setup anyway with a samco already fitted although nothing is ever straight forward.....
