using rubber hose with aeromotive a1000 what fittings?
hey guys just wondering what fittings I have to get to use the aeromotive a1000 with the stock fuel hose? I'm not running crazy hp (400) max so I don't need stainless stuff right now. Can anyone point me in the right direction with what fittings I will need? I called summit and they told me it can't be done (yeah whatever). Anyways thanks guys for any links, tips, etc...

NM, Here is the info from Aeromotives site
http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...0019&langId=-1
So you can either do.
Male 10AN to 3/8th NPT male
Then
Female 3/8th NPT to 3/8th Barb
Or Taken from the Jegs Magazine
Part 555-15980
High Flow Fuel Fitting
3/8"NPT x 3/8" Hose
Straight
1/pkg
Part 555-100108
Straight Flare Fitting- Male Thread - Blue
3/8'' NPT to -10 AN Flare

well because that regulator when i turn the key on brings the fuel pressure up to where it should be then 5 seconds later it bleeds to like 10 or less. I'm not sure if that could cause any problems but i want to get rid of anything that is questionable. Hey did you see my thread about 9.7.1 rotors
edit: oh yeah I guess I'll have to get -6an to 1/8th npt fitting then, lol.

Yes, though you know where I stand with all of that.
why not just pinch your feed line off and kill the pump, then see if it bleeds off as quickly? Should help you decide which direction it's coming out.

true that! but I just wanna get the aeromotive anyways cause this thing is a piece of **** I've been pissed of at ever since I bought it, lol. But damn good idea i would have never thought of that. You think I should do the high compression rotors? 
AER-FBM2003 I think this is the fitting I need now.
Fitting, Straight, -6 AN Male to 1/ 8 in. NPT Male, Aluminum, Blue, Each

woops I thought fuel pump as well.
I'm running the Aeromtoive FPR. Pretty damn awesome. Still overkill but a pimp thing to have.
You'll need a 10AN Plug to cap one side of the feeding side of the FPR. (Has dual 10an inlet ports)
I used a 10an to 6an adapter to run the feed lines.
THen a 6an to 3/8 barb for the return line.
Then some 12mm x1.5 to 6an type adapter for the fuel rail(As seen on Reted's parallel diagram)

anyways i got the plug and everything for 163.00 shipped.

I know, I rememeber you saying yours did the same thing but I'm just kinda hell bent on getting rid of anything that could be the problem because it's made cheaply. I got this fuel pressure regulator from ebay and I just want to get away from anything like that. I know it's expensive to through your money away like this but it's about time I do **** right and not skimp on **** like this, you know?

And the Revolution...
I need your opinions because I will be doing virtually the same thing as hondahater. This is what I'm looking at
Aeromotive a1000-6 Already have, which has 2 in 1 out, all -6 AN female
2 Russell 3/8 Barb to -06 AN fittings male
1 Earls -6AN port plug
My question is why do they show an Oring on the plugs but not on the barb adapter? Do those adapters require Orings? And is there a difference between the -6 and -06? I doubt there is but I wanted to know for sure. And are these 3/8 hose fittings going to be perfect for the 5/16 id hose that the fuel system runs.
The guy at jegs said you shouldn't use barb fittings cause theres a lot of pressure in there and I was like why they **** do they make them for EFI systems then?
Thanks
Chris

And of course I'll need a banjo bolt to get rid of the stock one correct? Should I just go ahead and ditch the FPD as well? And would those be the same banjo bolts?

good question i don't know if you need o-rings or not but none of my stuff came with any orings at all. i will use some teflon tape however I'm not sure if it's rated from something like fuel. guess i don't know till I try it. As far as the banjo bolt thing, good luck with that it's up to you! I'm just going to run the fc3spro.com fuel setup and get rid of the pd all together.

the plugs are the only thing that needs to be oringed cause they actually screw all the way in and bottom out, so you dont have to use teflon tape on them. all the other fittings will work fine with teflon tape though to seal it up.

if you're running big injectors, which I'm sure you are if you have this FPR, you're going to need a pulsation damper, one per rail actually.
I'm using 1 stock PD per rail and the stock fuel rail "ends". I'm just running the rails in parallel instead of series so they flow double the fuel.
