The guy at pirtec said that that braded hose is better than the non teflon speed flow one . Its $50 a metre .just to show if you use a fg manifold and dump pipe that you have to relocate the senser up higher or it is to close to the car body and might rub through the wires .the machine shop I took the dump pipe to said that they can not clamp it in there machine to face the surface for me .they recomended to file it flat my self . Sorry there are some parts still missing that they could not supply .so less than 360 dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI PSI Member 1,586 Member For: 18y 8m 9d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 22/03/16 12:53 PM Share Posted 22/03/16 12:53 PM (edited) The teflon in that style of hose is slightly thicker and touch stiffer than the Speedflow. This makes it difficult to get the fitting to slide down the hose. Here are some tips for you...... 1. When you install the collar, you have to remove the protruding edge on the inside. You'll know what I mean when you go to do it. I did this by inserting a blade of a pair of scissors and turning it. 2. Place the hose through the vertical slot in a set of Speedflow alloy vice jaws and close them until the tapered section of the collar contact the jaws. Whatever you do, do not clamp the hose... Get a straight fitting and remove the square edge from the section that goes into the collar. Lubricate the section after doing this and then insert the fitting into the hose and tap it with a piece of timber ( Or use a hammer on the timber). This is required as it takes some force to get the fitting to slide into the hose/collar. Do this for all of the hose sections that requires fittings and simply pull the straight fittng out and replace with a bend if required. They come out relatively easy.... Good luck... Not that you'll need it... Edited 22/03/16 12:54 PM by HI PSI Typo..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So easy. Built plenty of braided ends and it can be a pain in the ass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've built (literally) thousands of hoses over the years and getting stabbed by an exposed piece of braid is the devil. But I'm yet to find a rubber liner cloth/nylon hose that stands up over time. Current fuels system is a mix of Speed Flow and Aeroflow 400sr hose and it's all cracked and brittle after two years on E85. Once I park the F6 up for the winter I'll be replacing it all with Speedflow 100 series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eff xr6t Member 569 Member For: 11y 4m 4d Posted 22/03/16 03:03 PM Share Posted 22/03/16 03:03 PM Teflon FTW. Mine has been on e85 for 2 years constant and the hose is still in perfect condition bends freely. Everyone of my mates with normal rubber braid has split and broke after 1 year of being assembled. Also needed the Teflon for when I do a methanol tune rubber just dies with methanol to quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
