I've gone through tons of threads but none have a posted length of fuel line. Would 6 feet be enough to do a serial or a parallel setup

A measuring tape is your friend.

If you are worried about ordering to much with 10 feet, you have the wrong car because last time I checked it is about 20$ more. Which is enough gas to get your car from your home to the car parts store.

If you are going with a parallel system you must be pushing some serious power which makes skimping make even less sense.

They don't sell braided at any auto part stores in this area.wish rx7 owners weren't suck ********. I'm sorry that most of you that have done the upgrade are to lazy to type one or two digits.

Don't get bent out of shape man. Its been a little over a day since your post and most people have day jobs. The last thing you want to do is **** people off before giving them a chance.

As Dradon03 said, 10ft isnt that expensive even through Jegs.com. It depends on what rails and where you want to mount the Fuel pressure regulator. Some string and a tape measure will give you a better idea of where you'll run your lines. you can run stainless steel braided lines but they tend to rub against everything.

What rails are you using?
What fittings will you run? (-AN swivel, push lock, etc)
Where are you going to mount the FPR?
Parallel or Inline?

those are some things you need to figure out first.

I'm still not sure how to run them. I'm getting full function rails, and not sure which to go with as far as hoses.

Get some -6an push lock fittings & hose hell of a lot easier than braided and not abrasive to other parts.

6 feet should be enough.

I have mine like this

Why don't you try NOT acting like a spoiled little bitch with an overactive sense of entitlement???

The fact of the matter is that you haven't given nearly enough information for the people who are willing to help you to actually help you...

You could need anywhere from 2-3ft and 6-10ft, depending on how you want to route it and how much you plan on replacing.

Don't be a cheap ***, buy more than you think you'll need and just keep the extra for a later project. It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

oh, and check out Summit for ordering your hose. I completely replaced all my fuel lines last winter, I picked up all my hoses and fittings from there. Just be sure NOT to mix and match brands between the hoses and fittings.

its not cheap rebuilding your entire car from a fire. specially when going to school and working part time. i dont have the money to though away in parts so forgive me for wanting to buy exactly what i need, and not more than i need. ive spent close to 8 grand in rebuilding my car with the cost of the car. all paid for with a part time job.

I'm in the mid 20s right now and I lost my job on the 1st...sucks to be me!!!

fendamonky

iTrader: (6)

And? I spent right about 7-8 grand on parts for my last engine build/fuel revamp.

Lemme get this straight... you're a student working a min-wage job and you bought a burnt out RX-7 for pennies, now you're complaining because you don't want to put the REQUIRED money into doing it right? Instead you want to skimp and leave yourself with zero room for error...?

Clearly you lack the experience and knowledge to complete the job with a razors edge of room for error (if you did than you'd have never started this thread). So your only other options are to plan and allow for mistakes, or mess something up and pay (more) for it in the end.

Now, don't get me wrong, novice questions and a diy attitude are great! I've got no problem with them, but don't get all pissy and start calling people names when they don't serve you up your answers just the way you want them on a silver platter. Bad attitude + not knowing what you're doing = recipe for "go **** yourself" replies (or lack of replies, which amount to the same thing..). Just a heads up for future internet experiences..

You made my point, when you take the time to criticize me then you're an *******. You took the time to write a paragraph instead of helping out the cause. Like I said all it takes is someone who says 10 ft that's all. I was also unaware that there was a law or rule on the forum against asking questions? Is that not what this is for? REALLY I HAVE A BAD ATTITUDE LOL. I asked a simple question ******** like to turn simple things into big deals. We all started somewhere I'm pretty sure you weren't born knowing how to work with rotaries. I ask the questions because I don't to go thru another fire, I had just bought the car and installed a reman in it. Nd no it was not cheap but insurance took care of everything. Insurance was not sure what had caused the fire.

How is asking how much fuel line do is needed for top feed rails not doing it right?... I fail to understand why you don't understand the question.

Gosh... I guess you're right, my original reply didn't have ANY pertinent information for you to use...

Really? Dradon did just that and you called him an *******, for offering you PERFECTLY VALID advice.

(Here, I've quoted it for you incase you forgot about it)
Every single DIY setup will be different depending on how you want to route your lines and where you tap into the fuel system from, return to it at, locate your FPR, etc., etc., etc..

Don't be such a douche when people are trying to help you.

Etiquette would imply that you don't act like a spoiled little brat and insult the people helping you. That goes for life as well as forums.


Yes.

-Ted

See, that's exactly what I'm talking about... Spouting off at the mouth because you don't like the form your answers come in.

No, I didn't. And I still wouldn't introduce myself as an expert, though I have had a bit of experience tinkering with them in the past 7 years.. The difference is that I wasn't a insolent little ***** with an ungodly sense of entitlement when I was still a novice and trying to learn about my car. Anybody who knows me will tell you that I still am not. However... I have no problem speaking my mind when somebody starts acting the fool.


So you lied about having to spend 8 grand on your car? You clearly just admitted that insurance footed the bill...



Kids like you convince me that No Child Left Behind was a HORRIBLE idea... Clearly you don't know how to take criticism as a positive input...

Just because insurance paid, doent mean ive used the money for my car. I'd rather save that money and use what I earn from my part time job and jobs on the side. Spoiled? I pay for all my **** with my money no one buys thing from me.
My point exactly you said you have been messing with rotaries for 8 years. I got mine in 2011 and put a reman in it and 5 months later it caught on fire. So forgive me for not being able to play around with my car. After that my car sat in storage for 1 year if I wanted to spend the money I got from the insurance I would of just bought 2other rx7 but I didn't.
I don't recall asking for info being spoiled?
Well oh well I'll let you keep wasting you time replying

Everyone else thanks for the info

#1- No one here cares about your personal story, financial and/or domestic situation.

#2- You will never have a properly running, modified FD. Not because you won't live off Ramen noodles and scrounge money to buy all the parts you need used in the classifieds section. It is because you have a terrible attitude.

Check the attitude and come back and we will tell you why you don't need a parrallel fuel system.

Lol thanks for letting me know that my attitude will modify and tune my car, wish I had known earlier. I didn't know my car was related to Christine.

That's the attitude right there. If you can't recognize it, then you're an even bigger idiot.

You asked "how much fuel line to do i need for top feed rail"

someone replied with "be more specific"

and then started biting everyone's head off when you started criticizing people for not giving you the information you're looking for when it was already stated that there are too many variables and you need to be more specific.

And then, you decide to enlighten us by saying that you collected on the insurance....
The purpose of insurance is to MAKE YOU WHOLE.... to fix the car back to its original shape with as little frustration as possible....

How much did you get? $8k? Thats PLENTY of money to replace the destroyed parts with used OEM parts from the classifieds here.... instead you said So either you're just spending the insurance money on "toys" like an LED TV, Xbox, computer and playstation and overall squandering your money instead of directly putting all of that money into the car to get it back on the road.

Then decide you want to try and make it seem as if you're responsible by saying Except, you wouldn't have had to spend an entire year saving money from your part-time job to get back on the road if you used the insurance money to rebuild the car in the first place.

And the most simplest solution was already mentioned for you to figure out how much you need....

And you STILL decide to further your idiocy by completely ignoring it.

FC's i guess... because you're not going to find FD's for less than $4k for you to buy 2 of them.... but that irrelevant, because it just shows how little you care about getting your car back on the road.

You must be pretty young. Cause no one with some age on them is this ******* stupid and pretentious on this forum.

One more vote against stainless braided fuel line... it's difficult to work with and there's a good chance it will tear up everything else in your engine bay that comes into contact with it. Stainless braiding does add some strength to the line, but simply isn't necessary when working with normal fuel pressures. My car has been using Aeroquip push-lock fuel line for a few years without any leaks or problems. From what I've seen, fuel systems are most likely to leak at the fittings, injector o-rings, or near any welds (the weld can be porous)... so pay special attention to those areas and check them carefully. I've heard good things about fittings with o-rings, perhaps some of the others who have used them can chime in with their thoughts.

Total length for another person's setup is tough to guess since not everyone will use the same parts or run lines in the exact same locations. In the grand scheme of things, measuring or guessing the amount of fuel line you'll need is plenty important but also one of the simpler things you'll need to do on an RX-7... most people who have done it have forgotten the exact number years ago. I agree with the others who said 10 feet should be enough without having a ton of extra line left over.
