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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
