I recently bought an option b from a guy on here. All i got was the tank and the bracket. So i have been searching for all the plumbing: hoses, clamps, etc, etc. I just want to be sure i have the right fittings as well
Brass 1/4" barb to 1/8" npt fitting
Airbleed restrictor fitting

I am having trouble finding the above fittings. I found an elbow brass fitting but i cannot find he airbleed restrictor fitting anywhere. I bought what looks like one of those fittings but i dont think that is the correct airbleed fitting. Not sure how to post pics of this but if someone can take a picture of it(airbleed fitting) and post it would be very helpful. I know that zzp and ottp has pictures of this but they are very small. Want a close up of it if possible.

 

Another dumb question. Is it even worth it to put the option b if i dont have another heat exchanger? All i have is the stock one.

 

Yes its worth it

I just bought my fittings at auto parts store (oreilly)

 

Do you happen to have pics or part numbers?

 

do you need help in the potty also

 

No need to be a d bag.

 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

Oh, mr b

Id just be sure that the bleed fitting fits snug into the 1/4" hose. I think i have pics brb

 

 

How i wound up routing it


Opt b big line going through that opening in that bumper support


Oem bent hoses used to make a smooth kink free flow, put into y fittings

 

House routing as per GMR instructions:



I inserted the 0.040" orfice into the brass bleed fitting. Nice snug fit vs. inserting it into the hose.

 

Thanks for the pics, appreciate it.

 

Staged 07's way is the best

 

hit up one of the vendors that sells the opt b kit (zzp, CED, powell, ottp) and ask them for the restrictor orifice, they should be able to help you out.

 

This is what you need for the orffice. Just go down to your Auto Zone or Advance or Checkers or whatever you shop at and pick up a universal vacuum Tee. Cut off with a razor one nipple at the size it will fit inside the bleed hose. It should fit in there snug and if inserted on the heat exchanger side it could never work its way all the way up to the surge tank.



Consider hand held.

 

Awesome man, that is exactly what i was looking for. Thanks again.

 

So is the little plastic air bleeder piece needed? I never had one and zzp says its necessary

 

It's what makes the system actually work....

 

Understood

I just put the piece off the option b brass fitting

Can anyone get down into details how this piece bleed the system?
Thanks
