M20 restoration help?!

[mother_russia]

Whats up people. Name's Daniel, and I just recently purchased my first e30! Been looking for a clean one for a few months now, and finally found "the one"! :)
So I got the car with a non-running engine and an auto tranny. It's currently got the stock m20 motor, with a broken rocker. Wanting a reliable car, I decided to buy myself a whole nother engine with 130k miles and a manual tranny.

Now to my problem. The engine and tranny are in good shape. What I don't like about the whole thing is that ALL the rubber tubing is either on the verge of ripping, or already ripped.

So, where can I buy ALL the rubber hoses for a m20 engine?

anyone?

realoem.com is a good start to find out what you need.

Also, use the search function while you're on here.

Pelican sells kits for all the coolant hoses, and a kit for all vacuum hoses.

I did try to search some threads, but couldn't really find anything..

In the kindest way possible, you're not searching in the right locations. There isn't a free lunch, it will take a little due-dilligence on your end to come up with all the hoses, your best source, as previously mentioned is to compile a list on realoem.com

Take those part numbers to your preferred re-seller (which we are blessed to have many) and wa-la, insta-hose 'kit'. Edit: didn't know Pelican sold sets.

Another consideration is the silicone hose set (coolant) from IE.

The IE silicone hose set fits like ass, ask me how I know.

Steve at Blunt will do you right. Believe he has a hose kit he has put together.

Pretty broad comment.

I've done cars with them and haven't had fitment issues, they're simply silicone versions of the stock lines, no wizardry involved. Did you email IE about it?
