I'll put it in the engine bay for sure, when i get back to Byron one weekend I will probably have this thing driving. You better hurry up if you want to beat me ;)

I have one directly after the pump, plus one just before the fuel rail. don't know why, but I do.

For the cleanest fuel any 4AGE has seen.

[B.L.Z.BUB]

Hmm, I wonder if Ill get all my suspension in before you guys. I doubt it.

[It's_AUDM_Yo]

^Optimism at its finest.

[B.L.Z.BUB]

I'm keen just need some help, and its always hard to organise times when everyone is an hour + away from me.

I'd attempt it all myself but Ive never tackled the job before so having someone handy to point me in the right direction is always good.

That'll be my motivation then, struts, brakes etc all in before one of you 3 can drive yours.

So I managed to get the engine running on some Aerostart, as fuel lines aren't hooked up properly yet. I was waiting on a fuel filter which I now have. If anyone wants to know: Ryco Z624 fuel filters allow you to use the standard 4AGE AE82/92 fuel line that goes from to the fuel rail to the fuel filter (the part of the fuel line with the banjo bolts at either end). One end of the filter is just a 5/16 barb (same as KE70 fuel line) and the other end of the fuel filter is M12x1.25 thread (for the banjo bolt that connects the AE82/92 fuel line to the filter).

 

ahh i was just about to open a thread about this... Cheers!

 

wouldnt have a pick of how you mounted it would ya? :thumbsup:

I just realise that the flow is in the wrong direction! Shit!

 

Don't have any pics of it mounted(it's not mounted yet). I probably won't use it because it flows the wrong way :down:

 

Here's what it looks like:

Ah that sucks.

I just go OEM for this kinda stuff because its hardly any more expensive and you get a warranty.

I took me about 3 hours to switch all mine over and it was the first time I had evert done it (first side 2-2:30hrs haha) .

Air Tools ftw, I wouldn't even want try it without them.

^2ft breaker bar + 6 point sockets made it easy when I did mine.

[19914afc]

I wonder if I'll have my whole car going, haha. Also I just got an inline filter $12 for a holley one from race shop when I bought some speedflow fittings.

^Yeah I wanted to keep the banjo fitting on the fuel hose, but I'll just cut the banjo joint off the hose and use a hose clamp. I'm taking it back today to get an inline filter.

[ke70dave]

just rememebr that there are 2 different styles of fuel pumps, ones to suit low pressure, one to suit high pressure.

 

i had one that looked preetty much the same as that black one, but it had normal hose fittings on both ends.

 

i don't recally the number, but it was just a gineric ryco one, found it on the shelf at supercheap.

 

then pre lift pump i had one same as the fuel filter on a 4kc, the little clear plastic ones. did the job.

 

though i did run with no filters at all for about 2 yrs, never had a drama! haha. (not ideal, wouldnt recomend it, but i would do it again!)

[rian]

Yeah I know there's a difference between EFI and carb fuel filters. If you can find a Ryco catalogue, flick to the back and it gives you all the 'universal' filters for different applications: it has a diagram of the filter, inlet/outlet type and size, flow direction and fuel system type (EFI, carb etc). I found the right inlet/outlet, fuel system etc but forgot to check flow direction :bash:

 

Going back to Supercheap today to see if I can find the right one, if not I'll just get a 8mm inlet/outlet inline filter like you said, and cut the banjo joint off the 4AGE fuel hose that goes to the fuel rail.

[rian]

Okay so I went and checked the Ryco catalogue again, and I ordered a Z412 fuel filter (same as Z624 but opposite flow direction). They are pricey, but Wesfil make one exactly the same for about $25 (part # for the Wesfil is WZ412). Stoked about that.
