I recently bought a 88 Ae and it was sitting for a few years and the fuel line rotted. I want to buy a braided kit, but am having issues finding one. If anyone has bought one and recomends it please let me know.

you will have to put one together yourself, I am not aware of a kit

Any clue how long the hose should be? I found a kit that isn't specifically for our car, but it had all the fittings and a 3 foot hose. I am thinking this is going to be too short.

Where do you want to run the braided hoses? if you want to just run from the filter to the rails the 3 feet will work but if you want to run the whole car like we did with the EP rx7 that had a fuel cell, well we used about 30 feet of -6. we also used a exturnal fuel filter mounted on the left spring bucket and about $300 worth of fittings from erals. all total with the braided hose , the rubber hose , fittings, fuel filter, aeromotive FPR we prolly have about $750 if not more stuck into it. **** i have $500 worth of fittings and hoses and a small stock mount filter set up for -AN fittings just on my engine bay alone on the turbo car. corse the only rubber lines on that car is a few vacum lines and a rad. hose.



randy

this **** gets expensive, from just the filter to my lines and FPR I have something like $600 worth of hose and fittings, might even be more I honestly forget how much it ended up costing in the end

ya no lie there, $20 to $50 for each fitting, $75 to $175 for the Y block. hell there is 4 fittings alone just on the rails. need fittings for the rails and then the hoses. but they do look cool lol.

Summit has some pretty affordable universal type stuff. Clamps look line AN fittings but are actually hose clamps.

Has anyone priced a factory hardline replacement along the chassis?

Should be cheap -or you could bend one pretty easily.

Exactly what I was thinking

You can be the first to run E85 in the old Rx7!

y dont you just replace the factory line with factory line? it would look less ghetto rigged and more professional

Or just bend some copper tube yourself, uber cheapness.

Why would you want to use copper? Just get a box of fuel line from any performance parts store and a bender and go to town... its not as easy as it looks

Russel makes anodized fuel line. 30 bux for 25 feet on SummitRacing.com comes in 3 colors.



Oh, and its easy to bend.

Other than Asthetics what is the benefit to adding SS Braided lines? I am assuming they can tolerate more pressure (How much pressure is really needed per HP range?), and offer the option of a higher diameter hose allowing for more fuel (How big do you need your fuel lines to be? Wouldn't increasing the diameter of the hose force your pump to work harder?) I guess I am trying to see for a street, and occasional track car is it worth the investment? Do SS lines eliminate the worry of hoses rupturing from age or too much pressure? Is it just one more step to make the system more bullet proof? (Trust me I know there are plenty of people out there who do it cause it looks cool) Im not asking those people I want technical answers... Because I can see if your in a rally car or rock climber, maybe motor cross cycles etc.. but for street driving? or even drifting, scca etc won't normal every day high pressure fuel hoses work just fine?
