Is it those Hard lines flexing and ****? I've been using the black nylon braided for fuel with no problems at all but always wondered about aluminum hard lines.

If you're using the kg rails and Bosch injectors then I'm not surprised it caught on fire. It takes a bit of time to get them to seal properly, I ended up using some vacuum tubing cut to size

Yes! Im beyond over them. Anything rubber just expands and ultimately shrinks after being heatcycled and in contact with the fuel....

Import tuner like 3-5 months from now. They were saying it generally takes awhile to be published. The shots came out pretty sick.

I.d. injectors with full function engineering Rails and metal O-ring seals is what i'm using. No leaks and pressure tested the whole system up to 60PSI for 5 min straight!!!

Had the opportunity to do a shoot with Falken Tire a few weeks back along with several other iconic cars in the scene. Was really the main focal point to be finished with the car in time for this, and as always took it over just hours before to make it just in time. No matter how much time you have, it always ends up never being enough, but this time everything fell right into place! Check out the video, and see some of the behind the scenes footage of it!

Lol I was going to quote him as well. Very solid set up right there. FFE has been doing a great job machining those rails. Jason and Aaron's work is superb. I didn't know how many ppl are running these rails. They haven't been out long

Lol just posted in your thread. Ended up saving the setup. Used the primary KG rail, and the secondary Turblown rail i had. Turblown secondary has steel legs/mounts. Once it pressurizes (and on limiter) it doesnt spray anymore. The KG Secondary with aluminum mounts was too thin...

Definitely sucked catching my car on fire doing a burnout before realizing they sprayed under load but glad its handled.

Maybe after i pay off some debt to friends ill order those FFE rails. Still wanted to move to ID1000/2000 setup and add a wastegate for the power

Saw your car in the Falken video looking fresher than ever! Got me motivated to get back on the forum and working on my pos lol

*Also read the last 2 yrs of your build to get caught up. Good stuff.

Not digging the rears much.. Probably going to keep TEs on the rear, or meisters... Unless work decides to release a 10.5 XT7 option..

Dammit your car's so pretty. I think I'm going to actually put time and effort into making mine look good next season.

Tonight we just switched wastegate springs back to the 14psi spring. I called the dyno and rescheuled for tomorrow. My tuner is staying out here till the car is sorted (thankfully)
He seems excited for it and confident we'll make 400+. Will update you tomorrow with info!

PS: thank you justin for taking time to highlight that for me. Hahahahaha

after wall contact, no level of beating, bending, mending, or pulling makes it line up 100% straight again. Just get it the best you can and make it work. Learn from mistakes and just keep drifting!
