hey guys,

i searched but couldnt find the answers i was looking for

im just about to order the components for the fuel system in my s13,

im going to run a surge tank,

bosch 044

std intake pump as the lift pump

i will be using screw on ProFlow/SpeedFlow screw on fittings onto the surge tank with braided line hose clamped onto the std steel feed, return etc lines.

now i i am unsure what size fuel line i want to run? -6an or -8an?

im looking at making a reliable 400hp/300kw with an rb25det with rb26itb + other supporting mods

i am also not sure what to do in the way of injectors?

get jap-brand sard, power enterprise etc 800-1000cc injectors in a gtr type rail

or go with an aussie style rochester 1000cc and www.injectorsonline.com rail kit?

any help would be greatly appreciated

cheers John

no worries mate.

okay. would 2nd hand ones through yahoo japan or even the classifieds on here be my best bet, then get them cleaned flow tested?

any input on what size line to order though? will i be able to clamp -8an onto the standard metal fuel lines?

You could have a steel -6/8 male fitting welded onto your stock rail.

If your going to all the effort of running a braided line, it might as well be a -8 (1/2").

Or just run the 044 into the stock steel line.

the thing im wondering is there a way to adapt a 1/2" -8 teflon line onto the standard 5/16 -5 standard steel fuel line?

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
