!!5sfte!!, the second coming! Options

yep, you heard me. I'm coming back to the 5sfte community. Doing things a little different this time around, here's what I can remember so far that I'm doing differently:

Genuine HKS BOV, the new 2007 design
Got my injectors cleaned and flow tested at witchhunter. They were is poor condition before and are great now!
Going with a SAFCII instead of a neo. I got it for about $75 cheaper, and it measures knock. I was gonna get a greddy emanage ultimate, but I don't have a laptop to tune it with and it just looked too complicated for me to figure out how to tune it by myself, so maybe I'll upgrade later.
Got a custom stailness braided oil feed and drain line kit made specifically for my 5sfte. I just gotta weld a fitting onto my oil pan but I'm having a hard time finding someone willing to do it.
I'm fixing my radiator fan which was broken before. the motor fell out of the blade cause it was hooked up wrong
I'm using a regular sized radiator instead of the koyo, for a little more engine bay room
I'm relocating the battery to the trunk
and I'm cutting my IC piping down a lot for a cleaner install, might even paint them like LewFX

that's all I can think of right now, pictures to come. hope to be running by the end of the week after 6 months of down time!

I plan to get an early start tomorrow morning and get it all finished up as much as I can. I hope to have it started by tomorrow night, but no promises.

as for my feed line, has anyone ever even tried anything other than a -3AN on a 5sfte before? besides, the difference between -3AN and -4AN is a mere 1/16th of an inch O.D. the inner diamter on AN hoses can vary.

AN sizes range from -2 (dash two) to -32 in irregular steps, with each step equating to the OD (outside diameter) of the tubing in 1/16" increments. Therefore, a -8 AN size would be equal to 1/2" OD tube (8 x 1/16 = 1/2). However, this system does not specify the ID (inside diameter) of the tubing because the tube wall can vary in thickness. Each AN size also uses its own standard thread size.

your a meatball man.
people have tried all KINDS of hoses for feed lines.
you think i just chose 3an line as a figure i pulled out of my head?
there is a REASON.
when the guy who rebuilds ct-26's for a LIVING tells you to use 3an, do you say, well, 4an will be fine..?

wow dude, be easy on the guy. do you take the word of everyone you meet and read about online without asking a question or two? i mean you've said on the forums your just another guy like us learning as you go. hes learning. your right -3an is the best generic answer to use.

as for 6strngs, what presure2 means to say is the -3an is the best gauranteed answer to work. a -4an line with a restrictor without knowing exactly the size of the hole in that particular restrictor, you wont know for sure your getting the right flow. SO he "STRONGLY SUGGESTS" you run a -3an.... END OF DISCUSSION.

and please no more "are you dense?!" comments. help is help. bashing is bashing.
