I've been gathering ideas and such for my new engine swap and I'd like to get into the stainless steel lines etc - I know what I'd like to see, but unfortunately; I have no idea what or where to look for them...
I've been through several websites, but I have no idea what I'm looking for, or what I'd need exactly. Here are some examples of what I mean:   I'm looking for specific sites, and specific kits that I'd need to order. I have no clue when it comes to "an fittings" etc, so if there's anyone willing to share knowledge I would be very appreciative. I'm looking to replace as many lines as possible with Stainless Steel as well. Pre-emptive Thank you !! This post has been edited by KAOS: Nov 28, 2011 - 1:30 PM -------------------- |

I've built 3 fuel systems from AN fittings, SS lines.
Personally stay way from the Summit stuff. I did my rx7 fuel system with lines/fittings from them. Basically its SS coated rubber. The fuel vapor leaks through the lines (not a safety issue just an annoyance), and the car forever smells like gas. Quality isn't bad just because its summit (the fittings were fine, no need to spend the $ on the high dollar aeromotive stuff), but just the type of lines. The celica I learned and went with PTFE hoses/fittings. Price is comparable, but no gas smell. Lines are about 4x harder to make though and they flex a lot less. Doing all your vacuum lines would be crazy, the only real reason to do the fuel system is because its higher pressure and fuel eats through certain compounds. Vacuum I dont imagine anyone here is running much over 20 PSI, standard silcon lines can be used. Anyways http://www.anfittingsdirect.com/ where I bought my PTFE stuff. I will warn you the lines are HORRIBLE to make. I made the regular AN lines and it was difficult, but these are much worse just keep that in mind. You might be very frustrated after spending an hour and not having one line made. Also buy a chissle, and use a sledge/chissle to cut the lines, dont use any kind of cutoff wheel. You dont have to tape them this way. This post has been edited by czwalga: Nov 28, 2011 - 7:00 PM -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq
