Life story: So I'm about to finish my summer classes in a few weeks and I'm getting ready to order parts right now so by the time I'm done, I can finish my car ASAP.


The Problem: After re-reading everything on the SFMU setup, I already have 39 lb injectors, the SFMU, I'm in the process of ordering the fittings and hoses and what not. I'm going to get the 6AN return line and keep the factory supply line. However I realized that all the previous posts on the subject on this website doesn't have any of the pictures that were uploaded at the time. :( So I was wondering if anybody has any pictures of the fpr on the car or removed. I understand the fpr and the filter is one unit. But can't seem to find any pictures online.

A few questions that I need the photos for:
A) Does the hard line coming from the engine bay to the fpr have threading at the end of it? meaning if I were to remove the filter and fpr unit, can I just find a fitting that will match up perfectly?

B) If A isn't possible and its a barbed connection or something, how safe is it to plug up the part where the fpr attaches?

C)Is using the stock oil filter better/worse/indifferent to using an aftermarket oil filter in this setup?

D)Obviously if I install a new oil filter and bypass the whole oem fpr/oil filter system, there will be no point to this next question, but if I do use the oem oil filter, how will I need to connect the rest of it to the tank?

Again like I said, any photos will help me understand what other parts to order so I don't waste time ordering during install. I wish I had time to take apart my car right now and get some answers but I'm really busy, (Biochem and physics, 7 credits)....Thanks in advance!

I think you mean fuel filter not oil. Get an inline one you can get them pretty cheap at any parts store or get an earls or aeromotive for a little more. If I remember correctly stock metal line is barbed.Personally I would ditch the stock line but that's just me.

lol yeah, I meant fuel filter, I would actually prefer a new fuel filter but I want to use the hard line up until that point. When I look up crimped hose line, I see a picture like this and don't understand how to convert that to an AN line...

Use rubber braided fuel hose and clamp it twice. I did that for a few months till I went all braided. This thread should help you.
