I am currentley looking at replacing the solid fuel lines in my car, one bigger lines, more fuel, the obvious. But also as everything else will be braided lines and screw on fittings it would be kinda nice to be able to screw these lines into the solid ones instead of using homo little adapters and clamps and stuff.

Now I suppose my actual questions, how much power will the standard lines flow as opposed to say a -6 or -8 line? and how the hell do you get the lines in and out, is there a way to do it without dropping the entire rear cradle out?

yeah, just cut them.

Do you have a fuel problem atm? if not, then why bother changing?

then how do you get the new ones in.......

At present yes, with bigger pump/injectors maybe not, but as I said I wanna know how much power the stock lines flow.

i can tell you for certain if you are using 700cc injectors then the standard solid lines will not be posing a restriction for you.

awesome >_<

hmmm still kinda gay having to use those little adapter thinggys, ah well dunno if I can warrant the expense to get the lines redone just to get around it.....

I hear alot of discussion about using the hicas lines if its disabled. Weather this is feasible i do not know.

that trick only works for r32's that have the hydraulic hicas.

i ripped my stockers out on the weekend, looking at them, they are only 8mm each! :) replacing them with 2x -6 feed and 1x -8 return. just use a pipe bender to bend the tube into shape, shouldnt be all that hard :)

also if u wanna get rid of the stock rubber gear in the engine bay and kepe the stock tube lines under the car, u can use speedflow fittings from the tubing to braide, piece of piss really >_<

yeah making the lines is no problem it's just getting them in and out :)

yar those little fitting jigger things, just a shame to have all screw on fittings then use rubber pipes and clamps to join to the lines under the car....

The stock gear i believe leewah used for 600rwkw.

It'll be decent enough for you :laugh:

That makes me happier about using the stock ones, as I said before though still a shame to have to use those little jigger fittings.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
