120815, SFMU Installed and guess what... Posted by clipse_2005, Oct-31-06 05:22 PM
NO PROBLEMS!!! Sorry about the fairly useless post but I am extatic that finally got my SFMU installed after it has been sitting in my room for the past 2 months. I'll put some useful info in here though...
The way that I modifiend the feed line from the fuel pump was this... I used the stock fuel filter (MUCH EASIER than an aftermarket one). I simply unscrewed the stock FPR and removed it and the hose. I then took at M12 1.25 bolt and took a cutting disk and cut it down to the approximate length of the threads on the stock fpr. I used this bolt to plug the hole left by the FPR so that you can still use the stock fuel filter. I took the o-ring off of the FPR and transferred it to the "plug" bolt and everything worked PERFECTLY. Everything else was standard, -4AN hose and Adapter assembly kit, and Summit Fuel Pressure gauge.
I am just glad I finally got something done on my car today, I also did a lot of electrical work also which I am extremely pleased with. Just needed a good day of working on the car to give me a kick in the ass on the turbo project and today was just that!

Congrats on the install, I did the same exact thing as you with the FPR, definetly cheaper and easier than setting up a new supply line.
edit: this would be a good thing to put in the wiki

Haha I don't know what it is but everytime I hear "The Wiki" I chuckle. Maybe because I have no idea how to put something in "The Wiki." Can I get some help?

It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it. You just go to the new home page and log in then go to the area where you wanna add content.
In this case it would be cars, modifications, power, turbo, fuel systems. Then if you wanna add a new page, click 'change content'.
Scroll to the bottom of what's already in there and enter a title for the page you wanna make like this
FPR disable for SFMU install <---except its going to be two brackets on each side instead of these << >>
then click 'update' and you will see a link to a new page added
open that page, then click 'change content' again and add in what you want.
Or you can just add to an article that you want to by opening the article and again clicking 'change content' and adding what you want
you can also upload pictures if you took any and then put them into your write-up using the information on the tags page.
