SCEET Aircraft duct

[zl0ca]

I'm buying all the components to finish my heat backdate project. Can somebody provide some insight of how much hose I actually need per side for the 3.0?

I plan on using the 2.5 inch ducting from:
SCEET AIRCRAFT DUCTING - CUT TO LENGTH from Aircraft Spruce

I documented it somewherre in my "beginning of the end" build thread. Should be in the first half.

10' length will get you there with a little left over.

Be sure it doesn't have a red rubber liner or you'll smell it when it gets hot.

Really? It doesn't seem to be more than 6 feet.

It's really hard to search Pelican, far easier to just use Google. "lenght of sceet backdate" gets you this.

how much ducting for a 3.2 heat backdate?

Your heater boxes will require about 3.5- 4 feet alone.

From my thread:
- heat backdate: Will include engine tin cut, repaint. Search : Tips & adivce needed for backdating heat. Ordered 72 inches of SCEET. (Job should require 60 inches - 24 + 18 + 9 + 9)

This should give enough to allow rolling of the ends for better fit.

Thanks for providing me with an answer!

JJ911sc shard it with me from his engine. You will see photos of it if you search around. Beautiful engine.

Thanks for the credit and compliment, I remember measuring them for you a year or two ago.

Here is a good view of the path and the hoses length. IIRC the best deal from Spruce was the 10' length so you can sell the other 5'

Thank you for the engine porn and of course hose path

What's wrong with the better looking 911 211 522 00?

JJ - the carbs look great. Did they go on recently? I remember you mentioning them the last we spoke.

John W... I think I overlooked those because I read on pelican that they were a bit more fragile. Sounds like you have no issue with them? I might try those if I need to get new hoses for new headers... I want a black and silver look for my engine if possible.

Time fly when we are having fun... It will be 3 years this spring.

For the look, I went from the normal Rain Shield set-up to the Flat Top to Individual Flat Filter to Half Tea Ball Filter version.

The versions pictures below "required the Can Catch" set-up.
