How to extend ps hose line?

[Toastr]

Just about done with my eaton swap and I just have some wiring left to do and the ps hose.

How do I extend this line? I was talking to a guy in autoZone(most are clueless) and he said he doesn't know how to either because the lines hold a ton of pressure. How did you guy do it?

I can buy about a foot of hose but I don't know how I'd connect the existing line to the new one with a proper seal/connection to it

And if someone knows the size of the line that would be helpful too!

I believe the stock 03/04 cobra ones are longer for this reason, but I didn't use one when my swap went on. I want to say we used a pc of heater hose (red) to make it the length we needed it. I don't remember the size of it.

I covered this in my build log , link in sig. I used startlite hose from aeroquip, 2 90 degree AN fittings, two adapters to connect the AN fittings. Used -6 AN hose/fittings. This was on the pressure side from the pump to the hydraulic brake system.

Edit:
After further investigation, as brought up by Ackbar00, the startlite hose does not support enough PSI capabilities, the method would be the same as I covered in the build log, but you need a better hose that can support ~2000psi. It looks like I will be making another hose.

Ru talking the supply line or pressure line? I used the stock preasure line and bent it to fit.

Can you post a pic of where you wire in the the iat 2 sensor and the Intercooler pump? Thanks

Ended using a "barb" connector to extending the line with 2 clamps on each end for the supply line

This is what I did when I did the Hydroboost conversion on my old turbo fox. Pretty sure this is what I used:

Don’t remember what the adapter fittings for the power steering and Hydroboost are. EDIT: Post #17

Originally, I used normal braided line and AN fittings. Less than 100 miles later, as I was backing into a car space, the line blew right out of the fitting and I had to be towed home. These lines need to be rated for very high pressure, hose clamps and barbed fittings are a terrible idea. If nothing else, take your line to a hydraulic hose shop (We have a Parker store around here) and have them custom make you a line.

Was that the startlite hose that slipped out? I was told by Aeroquip that this would work well. I guess I will see. Interesting, that picture on your thread was the exact one I stumbled on when researching, I found it on Factory Five's forum for their kit cars.

No, it was just standard braided line from Jegs:

But Id not feel conforable using a hose clamp keeping it together at those pressures.

thanks for the info, I just ordered the same setup and will be replacing my Aeroquip hose with this one. I like the security of the added PSI capability. I looked up the PSI limits for the Startlite hose, it is only 500psi, the one you listed above is 2500 for those wondering.
