Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Cutting fuel lines

It is entirely possible to mod a stock L67 rail for a topswap so as to mate up to L36 lines (and make room for an IC) without any twisting / kinking / bending / modification on the lines:

hmm, I don't know, I think I liked all of the fittings better.

:th_liar:
 


Ha ha, yes I was sporting this for awhile:

But me no trusty cheapo brass single-ferrule compression fittings.

Steel swagelok-style dual-ferrule fittings would be better, but also bulky and very expensive, even for knock-off brands.

Brazed tubing extensions = clean, cheap, and reliable.
 
I was talking more about this :D:

I was planning on doing something more like your second version, but sounds like that's not a good idea?

Oh yeah, that piece 'o bling was just a proto-prototype to get the angles and routing right before cutting and bending tubing; never installed and run in that configuration. :th_laugh-lol3:

Even my second version with only two fittings had two issues:
1) Under WOT pressure, the fitting on the feed line would weep gas ever so slightly. :(
2) That long, extended, return bend line was so heavy the whole return line was starting to sag/bend under the weight.

The first issue could probably be solved with Swagelok, but not the second. Further, to mod that rail for an IC would have required at least 4 more Swagelok fittings, now we're talking some money.

The third version uses a brazing technique to extend the steel lines. Working out great so far.

But unless the OP is interested in keeping his stock lines and is looking for a cheap top-swap fuel rail solution, I think I'm helping to take this thread off-topic. :th_lipssealed1:
 
Anyone have part numbers for the fittings to adapt from the AN line to the fuel rail? I had them in my cart at Summit and then they went and changed their website and it dumped my cart.
 


I think he's going to stick with the modded.


What brand do you perfer and I will look them up for you.
 


I understand, hence why I'm going with modded rails.

So, anyone have those part numbers for adapting to the stock rail fittings? I thought they were in the How-to thread, but I looked and couldn't find the part numbers.
