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 never used the summit brand ss hose, but man, I hateful those pfte lines. They collapse on themselves real easy, and the non swivel hose ends absolutly blow.
I've always used earls or russles or aeroquip hose, never had any problem with fuel smell. What kind of swap your doing would give us more to work with. Racerx makes a press in fitting for the valve cover on a 2nd or 3rd gen to convert it to an fittings. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Racerx makes a press in fitting for the valve cover on a 2nd or 3rd gen to convert it to an fittings. I havent had any of the PTFE hoses collapse unless i tried to just testing it out. They make swivels for them so they are just like any other SS line minus the inside. They are much more of a pain in the ass to make though. Interesting on the smell, i've had other locally have the same problem, but not to the same extent that mine seems to. I'll have to play around with my fuel system with that car if I ever get a chance. If using a band/cutoff tool, along with having to tape them you get the remnants of the cut inside the line and have to clean them. I'm not that patient haha, the chissel is quicker and easier IMO. -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq
