Default Cosworth fuel line

For how much bhp is good a standard Sierra Sapphire Cosworth fuel line? If this needs to be uprated than what size do I have to make? Also are the banjos from the pump to the fuel filter and from the fuel filter to the main line restrictive? The Sierra is 500bhp+ . Thanks for the help

Std is fine, but run -6 from the pump all the way to the fuel rail / reg

ok i got it . youre so much help thanks pal!!!!

I know about thread sizes but we use a slight different pronaucation for them thats why I was confused about that but now I cleared everything!

So you think this is allright for 500bhp ehh! The thing about the banjos IM not sure couse i think they re a littlle bit restrictive.
