fuel system question

[IPD]

should i go -6 an or -8 an for my new fuel system? (that's 3/8" vs. 1/2" for those who are keeping tabs).

thx!

[IPD]

and another question. anyone here have experience with nology plug wires?

[J. Fast]

8-AN feed 6-AN return. If you are running Eth or Meth from a tank 10-AN feed and 8-AN return. If you are going to run solid hardpipe stainless lines 1/2" ID supply 3/8" ID return.

Don't know about the nology wires. I've seen a few subi's and evo's with them but have never used them, tuned a vehicle them, etc. In for the info on the nology.

sweet. i was wondering because it looked like 3sx's kit was -6 an on the feeds.

next questions:

what lengths of braided hose do i need to make my own tank-to-block fuel system? what's a good brand to get?

One -6AN feed won't work with much more than BPU. I have run two -6AN lines into one -10 and two -6AN lines into one -8AN line and two -6AN line from the tank to the fuel rails. The last option is my choice for overall simplicity and ease of installation. One -6AN line return is good. The entire system (less the cost of fuel pumps) can be done for about $500, including AFPR. Just my 1.5 cents worth.

i take it that if you run 2 -6 an lines, you don't need a loop--but you will need 2 FPR's and 2 filters?

-6 can go very far, we have a couple evos running the stock hardline making 600 wheel on ethanol.

My car was on -6 feed slit into both rails then out of both rails into a fpr and then used the stock return.

How much power are you going for? -8 feed with- 6 return is about the farthest you will need to go.

peak power from this setup (if tuned on race gas) would probably be around 650. i plan on running pure pump; but i want to have the capability there. for argument's sake, let's say i wanted 1000hp on e85. how big would i need?

p.s.

austin, you never got back to me on those fuel rails. i'm needing a set.

Thanks for the reminder, ya -8 feed with -6 return would be plenty, we are running that on our shop evo with 2 in tank walbros, and almost maxxed them out on e-98 (which uses more than e-85) at just under 800 awhp on a mustang dyno. If 650 is about your max then you will probably be fine with -6, but if you want the extra room, go -8 and you wont have to ever change it.
