Default Wa M16 threaded banjo bolt be for fuel rail ?

Ok I'm having space issues on my impreza, I need a REALLY tight 90 degree fitting for one of my fuel rails,,, now would a M16 banjo bolt flow the same fuel as a -6 fitting or would I be bottle necking the fuel system on 1 side ?

Or could I use 1 on each rail to equal it or am I just causing a restriction ?

You just need to meassure the diameter of the holes in the banjo bolt and do a quick bit of maths too work out if it'll flow the same as 90 bend fitting.

If you give us the internal diameter of the 90 bend and the diameter and number of the banjo bolt holes i'll work it out for you mate.

Ok when I say the same I really mean can I use it instead of a AN6 90 degree bend

I just thinking of alternatives as inlet hose needs that space and not sure if forged 90 would have enough space

If you cant get a -6 fitting on, how on earth do you think you're going to screw a huge banjo fitting on, and what are you going to screw it into !

Surely there is something already on it ?

It's a billet fuel rail with. M16 to -6 connector screwed in then the 90 degree is fitted to that but brings it to far out and fouls the intake

Weird setup

You can get a banjo fitting with a -6 male spout on it and 16mm hole. Cant find a part number for it, but I have one on my PAS pump.

I'm sure it will flow far more than you'd ever need, and as it will likely be the return anyway, it's of less importance.

A single -6 would support well over 600hp...so using it on one side will hardly be pushing things. The hole in an M16 banjo will be at least equal to that of a single -6.
