What do i need for SS Fuel lines

I have searched fcs3pro.com and went throught hondahater's thread on his SS fuel line setup.
Beside the FPR, Y pipe fittings, ad -6an fitting what else do i need?
Also how many length of SS lines?

everyone's set up is different. it depends on if you want to go all the way back to the tank, are using a fuel cell, ect. you are going to need a lot of fittings and hose ends. you might want/need aftermarket fuel rails, if not you would want to get your rails tapped for whatever size fittings you plan on using. an aftermarket pd would be good. be prepared to spend a lot of money.

Well im not using a fuel cell, im planning basically to run it enough to support my gt35r turbo. Im not planning to change my fuel rail, but using th stock one, i have S4 fuel rail which the fpr is removable and etc. Im not even sure should i even run it from the tank.

im doing the exact same thing as you.
I figured out that if i buy 20ft of an lines from summit, 15 an hose fittings, 1 an fuelfilter, some metric an-6 adapters(if you`re going with the stock rails), y-fitting and a male to male an-6, I will have a decent fuel setup.

All this for around 400-500USD, you dont need 20ft of an-6 line if you are not going to have ss lines from your pump to the engine bay, and the an fuelfilter isnt a "must have"-part...

If I run it from my tank running using a intank fuel pump such as the apexi bnr33 gtr fuel pump, what else would i need? I know running an -an fuel filter is optional, well i need more of a clarification of what i need.

Ok, referencing that pic right there, it seems like all you need is a fitting to connect to to the fuel filter and a fitting to connect to the stock fuel return line. Am I right? Anybody know what fitting this would be?

you wouldnt need a fitting to attach the line to the stock fuel filter or to the return line. you would just put the ss line on and use a clamp to hold it on. you cant use an fittings with your stock fuel filter

Brody: If the pump fits with the stock arangment in the tank you dont need any fittings at that end. Since you just push the ss line over the line from the tank and use a clamp. Barb fitting is no point.

i dont think you're gonna get an exact answer. go look at your car and figure out what you'll need. everyone's set up is different. there isnt one right way to do this. or just go buy what you've already listed and if you need more later then get more. simple.
