Parallel fuel system issue, would like input
 
2 Attachment(s)
So I'm all finished putting together my parallel fuel system and found that my return line Is roughly 3/4 of an inch from my throttle cable hook up on my throttle body. I have solid motor mounts and have very little flex in my regulator as it is bolted to my firewall. I believe I am ok and it will not be an issue I would just like other opinions.

that is where I have mine.
You are fine.

gaijinrx7 03-09-14 06:10 PM

Appreciate it

Mine is there as well, but I'm using stainless braided. No issues in 10 years

gaijinrx7 03-10-14 11:51 AM

What did you guys use to bolt fpr to firewall?

clokker 03-10-14 11:55 AM

I doubt cable interference would be an issue but many racing organizations wouldn't allow fuel components that close to the bellhousing.

Ya,it's kind of close but 2 things.
Scatter shield or just don't go Freakin Nuts and build the setup UP so big that it will Toss the Flywheel through the Bellhousing!

I mounted mine on the Lip of the firewall.

Max 450whp so I think I'll be ok

gaijinrx7 03-11-14 03:04 PM

What are you guys using for your feed line to the filter?

joeylyrech 03-11-14 03:26 PM

regulator
 
If you go drag racing they wont let you even with a scattershield with the regulator and lines on that place.0ther than that your fine.
Here is a pic off mine.

joeylyrech 03-11-14 03:38 PM

filter

I have braided lines all the way 2 the tank with a aeromotive filter.If you have stock lines still you can by a adapter 2 go from the oem line to AN and use a aftermarket fuel filter.

gaijinrx7 03-11-14 04:14 PM

Thanks for the input. I think for the break in period and for a good year after I'm just going to leave the boost down around 8psi on the bws360 and learn to drive. I have the stock ff and hard lines, I'll plan on running ss lines and moving the fpr when I go to sanctioned road race events

gaijinrx7 03-11-14 06:15 PM

Looks like Aeromotive 12321 is the appropriate 10 micron filter. Mine as well do it right the first time, I'm going to order some more push loc hose and run it to the aeromotive filter. Thanks for help, better to pay now than pay later. I'm going to look into rerouting my fpr

cbrock 03-13-14 09:47 AM

That's what I used.

gaijinrx7 03-13-14 06:30 PM

Has anyone tried to use their stock feed as the return after making a new feed? I thought this would be a good alternative since the stock return is quite small

Rob XX 7 03-13-14 07:00 PM

gaijin- i thought they were the same size

im re-doing mine now, the stock lines are rusted I wouldnt re-use them anyhow unless yours are really clean

gaijinrx7 03-13-14 07:59 PM

I'm sure the feed was 5/16 but I believe the return is smaller, I will measure sat and see. My car is rust free but I am still going to clean the lines and inspect. I was lucky, my car sat in a garage for 10 years but better safe than sorry

Rob XX 7 03-13-14 08:07 PM

Return is the same, vent line is smaller. I been back there enough to know they are the same size and confirmed sizes today with my guru

gaijinrx7 03-13-14 08:24 PM

Ok, thanks man. Mine as well just run a new line and braze a fitting on there also. Are you retaining stock tank?

Rob XX 7 03-13-14 08:28 PM

Yes its a convertible.
If i ever go really big power i would probably sump it with dual external pimps versus the single 044 i have in-tank now
