I am putting a new engine in my Turbo Two, and the fuel lines look pretty crappy, and the oil metering lines look even worse. I've heard people talk about putting marine grade fuel lines in, which sounds like a good idea to me. I just don't know where to buy them. Also, if there is any practical upgrade for the oil lines, i would be interested in that as well.

So if anyone knows where to purchase these(on the net) i would be very appreciative.
Thanks.

The best thing for the oil metering lines is the stock lines. www.mazdaformance.com. There you can download parts diagrams. They have great prices!

On the fuel line I used HIGH PRESSURE Fuel Injection line. This stuff was pricey. $5 per foot and I needed three feet. But it was worth the insurance. Make sure you get fuel injection fuel line. The parts guy did not know the difference so I had to educate him. I wrapped the fuel line in a plastic wrap. And used hose clamps. Take a fuel rail to the parts store and make sure the hose fits snugly!

As a word of wisdom. Once you get your fuel lines in and everything hoooked up. You can pressurize your fuel system with the Upper intake manifold off. Just put the battery in. Find a yellow two pin connector on the passenger side strut tower and put one wire there and Jump the connector. Simply put each end in the plug. Then turn the ignition on. You will hear the fuel pump run and fuel racing thru the lines. It should leave the fuel lines via the secondary fuel rail and return to the fuel tank. What you have done is checked for leaks. It is a bitch to reinstall the manifold and run the car to find the leaks. Do that first to save cussing.

Thanks for the info. I checked that page for oil lines and i couldnt find them. Mazdatricks is a bit pricey, and not very specific on the oil lines specs. Any other suggestions?
