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.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
