ive searched and all i can find is threads on fuel rail or fuel pumps etc, nothing on the actual fuel lines...

Just curious to know if anyone knows confidently the limitations they have/if any?

i have 600rwhp in my car t04z rb26/30, running surge tank, 1 internal pump, 1 external pump, 700cc injectors, a/m twin entry rail

cheers...ben.

I think it would depend on how much pressure you are running thru them.

If its near standard base fuel pressure then i think perhaps u should only refresh the factory items :D

Also i take it we are talking about the rubber lines and not the metal ones that run upto the front of the car?

I assumed he was talking the flow potiential of the metal lines that run up underneith.

You cant really just keep piling up the base pressure, as 45 + 30 max = a fair deal already.

Yeah i think its best to keep the base fuel pressure stock, and was saying if the rubber lines are in good condy they should be ok.

id be fairly interested to see what people think of the stock lines as well, stock line i should say, im going to be running twin 044's, i dont know if i should join them together into the single stock line or run an extra line the same diameter as the stock line for the 2nd pump?

...but i dunno

Sounds like you need an excuse to run some under car hardline and fill Mr Speedflows pockets a little more ha :) Your car is already off tap crazy gurl.

Id hazzard a guess that very few of the big HP cars in the "SAU Dyno" threads run larger lines, i reckon your fine.

If your (needing to) run twin 044's in the first place, injector fuel distribution is prolly guna mean your running a AM rail (6x 700cc+ inj's, long rail, good idea) with twin feed... possibly.

I'm too lazy to do the math, but when your maxing out a 044 pump and need two, possibly you'll reach the limit of the standard steel lines. When you get there, 800rwhp+... $100 max worth of hard line will be the least of your issues *evil laugh*

the twins are more of a precationary approach, and yes gunna be running am fuel rail etc, may as well just add another line the same size as the standard one ;)

Instead of having 2 delivery lines the same as standard, why not just have one bigger line?

Im running an RB25 in a datsun and had to upgrade the line (factory datsun lines arent very big) so i put in a 3/8 line (8mm) and the standard skyline lines are 5/16 (6mm), just to be safe.

my engine is getting put back together as we speak and im at the stage now where i need to sort out the fuel system. Already have x2 044 pumps, surge tank, fpr, a/m rail and 1000cc injectors. I was thinking larger rubber ones in the boot and larger metal underneath up to the front and use standard return. As mentioned, will join two pumps into a single larger pipe be a good idea? Power goal of 700rwhp. Can i get some recommendations/feedback?

cheers

I used the 2 factory lines to feed either end of my rail and connected a -6 braided line to the regulator and ran that back to the tank.. I run two nismo's intank so its nice and quite better than the old smelly, noisy twin 044's with mass of pipes in my boot...

people say that the standard lines will do for big power some say they wont..for the price of running new lines, think it cost me well under $70 to run 3/8" all the way, then why not do it...peice of mind plus running 3/8" line means having nearly 20% more size over the standard lines.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
