I think the an fittings I used from summit where around 12 bux maybe even a tad cheaper. I've heard of people using an aftermarket fpd with stainless steal braided stuff and understand why however I'm still wondering why you wanted 2 fire death traps on your car instead of just one

 

i dont think they'll flow "double the fuel." i think the of the parallel fuel setup is so you dont get the pressure drop during the secondary injector transition.

 

if you have two pipes in a line and it can flow say, 30 liters per minute or whatever...

does it not make sense that if you put the two pipes in parallel they'd flow 60 liters per minute?

at this point I don't have money to buy a pair of marren FPD's so I'll just keep any eye on mine.

 

If you hit your local hydraulic shop, they should either stock or can order ORB AN fittings with a barb. That way you don't need the ORB AN to flare, then another adapter to NPT, then a barb. I ran across these fittings when I was browsing the Eaton Aeroquip catalog last night. Should make for a cleaner and cheaper installation if you insist on using rubber hose.

 

when I ordered the fpr from summit the guy said to just get the -6AN male to -6AN male fitting then they had a -6AN femle to 3/8 barbe fitting. So in total it was 5 fittings in total including the plug for the other side of the fpr that you don't use. Looks very nice!

 

I can't find anything that has an ORB fitting for the damn regulator itself with a barb on the other side, how the hell can they not make those? The ones I found from a hydraulic shop had the part around the barb that you have to press around the hose, its for making hoses. I can't find a -6AN ORB to NPT3/8 fitting either. Hey Arron where can I get those ones you're talking about? Cause thats exactly what I need.

 

The closest thing I can find are these. And they are a flare end, which can't be used like an ORB fitting correct, because that flare doesn't let it screw all the way in enough to reach the Oring.

 

Damn

 

So I either have to cut the collar off of the ones you make hoses with or grind down the flare on that one OR I have to spend a like 30 more dollars on **** I don't need.

 

don't know if this is what you are looking for but this is what I have.

blurry pic but you should be able to get the point.

 

Wait a second. You have flare ends screwed into the actual regulator. I didn't think that you could use those because aeromotive's website says they have to be ORB fittings which are Oring.

 

If you can use flare ends in the regulator then I would just buy the one that I posted the pic of. Its a AN-6 to 3/8 Barb by russell.

 

Two things.

Don't use teflon on AN fittings, just on NPT.

The AN fittings going into the FPR should be flat and have orings on them.
If you buy the correct fittings, made by Aeromotive, you'll be fine.

If you use flared fittings with no o-ring, it will leak.

I just got done installing this setup, and I also bought a flared plug at first by mistake. In the end I just ordered an aeromotive plug made for that FPR.

 

I might have to couple the flare ends with an Oring but that would mean I only need 3 fittings as opposed to 6.

 

Was the one you ordered the Oring to 7mm barb?? Cause thats $20 ******* dollars each.

 

They make it almost ******* impossible to use the regulator with stock stuff. If you did it their way you'd buy new SS lines and all of that ****. A couple hundred bucks that I do not have. Of course they want to sell more products but Jesus Christ. I'm not running a top fuel car I just need to tone my fuel pressure down.

 

I just read this on the Aeromotive website.

"O-ring Boss / Male Flare adapter fittings may also be used as a port coupler fitting, where the male flare side has an additional O-ring installed for sealing and the port will accept the male fare without interference or flow restrictions. This is common and acceptable practice when coupling filters to pumps as Aeromotive filter ports have been machined for clearance to avoid interference with the male flare."


SO I take that as you can use a flare just as long as it doesn't screw up the flow and as long as you have an Oring on it too.

 

can you just buy these o-rings for the fittings?

 

I think you can but I don't want to buy all that **** and then have it leak. I've decided to send the Aeromotive regulator back and take the hit of $10 handling fee. The SARD regulator that you can get off ebay has the fittings already on it and its much cheaper than the aeromotive, and I think it would be more suited for my needs. This aeromotive was the smallest one I could find but it can handle a shitload of hp. The sard regulator says its good for like 400hp. I don't need anything bigger than that cause I don't plan on going over stock boost any time soon. Ebay sard regulator is around $100.

 

Thanks for all the help but this has been one big ******* headache. I'll let you know how the sard regulator turns out.

I see you were able to get the fittings for the FPR. I hope th pictures i sent you help
