Hi all, I'm new to Passionford but heard a lot about this forum.

I have a question about the braided fuel lines, I bought a kit on Ebay earlier this month from Pro-Line Motorsport) but some people say that the braided fuel lines aren't any good for the engine ? Is this correct ? Because the lines costed me like 200£. Also do I have the RS Turbo gearbox apart but the input shaft has worn on the fifth gear, Do you guys know a spot where I can find a new input axle for the BC FWD gearbox ? Thanks in advance and I hope to make some new friends and get some knowledge over here !

 

There 100% fine for the engine my hole fuel system is aero quipped with Teflon lined braided hose.

 

Welcome to the forum. Make sure they are e85 proof or you can get fuel smells.

 

Thanks you very much, I bought these ones that are teflon lined, braided stainless steel and fittings are dipped to prevent corrosion

 

It is not advisable to change the standard injector pipes it will cause running issues

 

Also told that the MFI fuel pipes when braided cause fueling issues due to inner diameter of the hose being larger ...best to stay standard ford imo

 

i am down in australia and need to replace the red MFI lines on mt s2 rs turbo, can i at least replace just the red plastic sections with some high pressure nylon hose from a local performance shop? i simply cant get new ones? even second hand ones are all around 30 yrs old.

 

And also stat away from any torques fittings seen many split and leak badly . They sell because there cheap lol

 

As long as these are fuel resistant AND as hard as the original ones. Pneumatic hoses usually won't work as these are too soft.

To be on the safe side, use custom made braided hoses. Most non-Fords with K(E)-Jetronic (all VW and Audis) came with braided hoses.
