Welding question.

How much would it cost roughly, to weld AN fittings (4) to LT1 fuel rails?

look for shops that specialize in bmw's and german cars... they probably do aluminum welding... if not look in the yellow pages for welders and call them up and see if they do aluminum

Rob_ws6 used this putting the HSR in his GTA. It just flares onto the stock fuel line. No leaks noticed so far and its been on there for a while ...

Yea, they also make a fitting that translates between lisle quick connects and AN, I believe Brandon has them.



I want to do something like this. Run the rails in parallel and allow for a larger nitrous fuel line to feed off it.

oh, i thought you were planning on a sumped tank. my bad.

not only is it smarter, its safer. i just don't know why you would want to draw more fuel off of the stock setup? the pump can only handle so much and then you go lean....

Well, the plan is a sumped tank yes, and a larger, over kill pump. So I see nothing wrong with taking fuel off the main line if it is large enough for it.

No need when I only spray a 100-150 shot.


No "race" car nonsense here, street car.
