My car is gonna be converted to efi soon, just wondering how people have connected up the fuel supply?
can you buy the correct pipes to still use the original filter etc??

turboben

anyone know??????

SafeChav

ever heard of an EFI XR3i Chris

Stop bein a lazy fooker and get down the scrappy and you shall see

Chris69

so the efi escort uses the same fuel filter and position as the rs turbo does it?
no scrappies round by us have efi escorts there too old to bother with

SafeChav

Not quite, its close.

The fuel filter is the same but bolts to the chassis rail, pretty sure the bracket is the same.

EFI XR3i fuel lines are what you want for a tidy job

Or you could move it altogether

SafeChav

Where did you get the fuel lines made for that, ive seen a few cars with Mk5 filters on the box n wondered where the pipes are from.

Chris69

Went down the breakers and took of a load of fuel hose and just used the ones that fitted best

i ue#sed the mk 4 filter bolted to the gearbox and the filter to fuel rail pipe from an efi orion

Why fit the original fuel filter? It is massive and horrible looking.

My fuel lines are all done in Aeroquip going to an R32 Skyline fuel filter. For no particular reason other than that is what was laying around at APT so we could make the connections up to it.

SafeChav

Aeroquip fittings dont come cheap some of us are on a budget you know

Turbo-Beal

Could you point me in the right direction on what size AeroQuip fittings they are you have? I want one for the fuel rail and the two for the fuel accumulator. Just need to konw what sizes they are and where to get them from Cheers

Chris69

sounds nice and cheap to do
am doing a budget efi conversion so the more original bits with minimal modding the best, wish i had some aeroquip lines lying around though

Tony Turbo

You don't HAVE to use Aeroquip, I am just suggesting that there are many other options to using the big bulky Ford stuff

Tony Turbo

You mean like this?










I don't know what thread size that are but all my fuel lines are -6. APT sorted out the thread sizes and supplied them for me, and fitted them for me lol.

Tony Turbo

Oh, just FYI - You don't NEED the fuel accumulator when going EFi

Turbo-Beal

That exactly what i want for mine Just curious why you used a accumulator?

Tony Turbo

Why? So I can have more Aeroquip fittings

SafeChav

The accumulator would be best kept though, helps to smooth out pressure variances in the fuel line when the injectors open, it can only be a good thing keeping it, won't cause any harm

Turbo-Beal

I have a nice new shiny accumulator so ill be buying more Aeroquip I love the coulour you have them in. Didnt know you could get em in diffrent finishes
