Expensive fuel fittings, jeez.

[Jon K]

Does it end? I received what I believe to be the last (or really close) of my fuel fittings. I have a couple more bosses to get but those are only like $10 - $15 ea or so.



Not counting the ~$90 worth of fittings currently on the car. Ugh does it end?

That's the cheap stuff. Try shelling out for the real deal aero. mil spec stuff.

[Jon K]

Ross this is all aeroquip aircraft fittings mil spec hose is $20 a foot in the -10AN size.

Wait til you see my hose clamps in a couple weeks


Put it this way - all those fuel fittings (and some not pictures) cost just about 1/2 of what my other turbo setup cost!

Only half a joke but it would have been cheaper to use Titanium pipe and Hydraulic hose!!I noticed on a browse of Mercedes F1 engine that they dont use Aeroquip, when I asked they said that at the pressures they use they have had failures due to dirt inside braiding, when I asked what pressure the answer was dont ask........Nobody could argue with the job Jon but how long so far and will it ever run??????!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ross]

My mistake. Saw the Russell piece and ass umed. I've had perfectly serviceable cars for what your plumbing will cost.
2.9 uh? what's the combination to arrive at that?

[Jon K]

Barney - end of march man end of march!

Ross - yeah russel Y block was the cheapest y block and it's billet so I went with it, all else are aeroquipz.

2.8 crank rods and pistons with a slight over bore
