Now this is all I have heard no real facts so I dont know how true or not this realy is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1600dave Donating Members 872 Member For: 13y 9m 9d Posted 15/05/12 12:18 PM Share Posted 15/05/12 12:18 PM So do ALL the factory fuel lines need changing, besides the alloy ones, or those too? Just for someone wanting to convert over using their current setup.So, the intank piece, from/to the tank's fuel pump to the alloy lines, and to/from surge tank to rail etc? I'm guessing the PW or plaz surge tank lines aren't suitable?Anyone sell all of this as a kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor showed a fuel hose that had issues earlier in the thread but cause was not 100% sure, unless he has updated it.Process West has been fitting E85 compatable hoses to their surge tanks for, I think 3 months or so now, Maybe Kevin could confirm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being critical just curious. I'm a fan of the nizpro intake and makIng them fit the bigger cover is brilliant.I fitted a check valve on my 044 and rather than it taking longer than stock to crank, it now kicks over straight away and sounds like its only running on a few cylinders for a few seconds before it settles down to a nice idle. I haven't had time to look at the route cause but I have my theories. It's the same on e85 and PULP so most likely not fuel or tune related.
