thagremlin Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 hey guys I'm going to be modding my fuel rail for an aeromotive FPR. I'm just wondering for those that have done it: what are the fittings that I need and how many of them. How much fuel line will I need?Can I keep my stock fuel filter if so what fittings do I need to use to adapt the new lines. Also I found this kit but it's for a 1g dsm us it everything I need. Or would I be better off buying everything seperatly. http://www.maperformance.com/aeromotive-adjustable-fuel-pressure-regulator-with-install-kit-dsm.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoltoMario Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Scotty Dont and I just did this to my car yesterday. Heres a before and after pic. I have a list of parts but Scotty might wanna chime because I know he can help more then I canBeforehttp://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b125/MoltoMario/Conquest%20Tsi/downsized_1001091727.jpgAfterhttp://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b125/MoltoMario/Conquest%20Tsi/downsized_1002091508.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jettajody Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 BRO!! That is clean and tight work, I love the blue, and your engine bay is super clean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thagremlin Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Mario that looks nice. I like the fact you guys mounted it on the rail itself. Usually I see it on the strut tower. Guess it's a way to eliminate the use of an extra hose. Yea pm me a list parts. You guys wouldn't mind comin down to help me out would you.

MoltoMario Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) Heres the Aeromotive FPR I have http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AEI-13105/. Ill tell Scotty Dont to chime in on the thread today and give you more information. The fuel rail I used was already tapped and modded by him so I dont have a clue of the sizes its tapped out to. I know a few parts are tapped different sizes. Heres a little list. Not sure if its all going to make sense but these are mainly the parts I used. You kinda gotta get parts are you go because every setup is different Feed Side 12mm x 1.25 -6 Male to Male3/8 NPT To -6 Male To Male-6 Line( This Is Where I used Braided Line) with a 90 Degree and a Straight fitting connecting to the Fuel Filter. To Regulator1/8NPT(male or female) to -6 male-6 AN Line-6 To Regulator Size The you need a Fitting To Regulator to 3/8 for fuel return line( This is the Other 90 degree bend for the Return line). I chose to go with a push on style and it seems to be pretty good All of the fittings and lines ended up costing me about $70 plus the initial cost of the FPR After we got everything all finished up we bumped my base fuel pressure to about 40 and now with running 18 to 20lbs of boost my A/F readings on my wideband are in the 10s and 11s. While my cruising readings are in the 15s, So its not to rich while cruising but rich enough while in boost. Seems to be working out very well so far Like I said IDK if it will all make sense but this is a list we wrote out and used as a guide.

thagremlin Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 No makes since. I just don't have the tools to tap the fuel rail. But I'm sure I can get it don't some where around here. Or I'll just go buy a tap and die set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Dont Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Mario that list is a little off here is what we used. Feed Side 12mm x 1.25 -6 Male to Male 3/8 NPT To -6 Male To Male14" -6 Line with a 90 Degree and a Straight fitting connecting from the fuel filter to fuel rail To Regulator1/8NPT(male to male) Return to tank-6 90* push on fitting18" of 3/8" hose to hard return line This list of parts will vary depending on the regulator used. The fuel rail feed was tapped with a 3/8 npt tap, the regulator was cut off and tapped to 1/8npt. Gremlin if you would like to come up here I have all the tools need at my place and there is a local store with all of the AN lines and fittings.

thagremlin Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 i might do that..but i still need to get the regulator.. i was thinking of getting the aeromotive 13109..but how much was the one mario got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoltoMario Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I paid about 165 plus shipping. I got the 13105 because of the size and the pressure range is what we want(30 to 70) psi. The other ones I looked at started at 45psi. I also went with the 13105 because it seems thats what most people are running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thagremlin Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 gotcha. ill search around. gotta send my injectors to get cleaned first.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thagremlin Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 did you guys add anything to your stock fuel filter to accept the lines or did you just keep it how it was.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thagremlin Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 what do you have tapped into the back side of the fuel rail.. is that a sensor for a interior fuel gauge.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoltoMario Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 The Fuel filter is stock. Just unscrewed the original screw and screwed the new fitting in to accept the end of the end of the braided line. And yea the sensor in the back is for a interior fuel pressure gauge. Had to run a 90 degree fitting on it because with the adaptor it hit my strut bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thagremlin Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 well then looks like i dont need to really search around.. ill just get everything you got. simple enough.. where did you buy your FPR from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dstar88 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 ey, when you go up to Scottys to get this done, let me know. ill roll with you. I want to watch. redoing the fuel system for better fuel delivery to the injectors is what i have been planning to do for a long time now. And it might get done as my new bottom end gets dropped in.
