I'm looking for the vacuum fittings that go through silicone couplers so that I don't have to modify my intake pipe when I recirc my crank case vent... I've looked all over 240sxmotoring, enjuku, and frsport. Any help's appreciated. Thanks guys.

Could you just get a threaded vacuum fitting, and thread it into the coupler then use epoxy glue to seal it?

As long as the hole is slightly smaller than the fitting so it actually threads into the coupler I can't see why it wouldn't. Maybe put the epoxy glue on the threads before you thread it into the coupler so it completely seals.

well i'm not speaking of this particular set up since i cant exactly picture what you're talking about. but in general, i've used home depot fittings and hose clamps for vac stuff, redoing my coolant lines etc. do you have a pic of the exact lines you need to do

OK,

See the T fitting on the Driver Side. That is suppose to be recirculated back into the intake. My intake is a pipe with a maf adapter. I really don't want to drill a hole and tap the pipe, but in the past, I've seen fittings that were designed to pierce through couplers. This would serve my purpose perfectly.

i see what you mean know but i wouldnt do it personally. anything that puts a hole in the coupler worries me. what i've done before and what i would do for this is cut the hole, weld on a nipple thats the same diameter as the T off the vc, put a hose tightly over both ends and use clamps

Get a maf adapter with a fitting already in it, i have seen them all around. That will work great. I bought an Apexi one.
