Reply to "EFI conversion of my Spyder"

Here's some photos of yesterday's efforts. I really like the look of the black nylon-braided fuel hose. It does have a metal mesh under the nylon braid and is specifically designed for gasoline and alcohol fuels.

However, it is not the easiest stuff to work with. As you push the hose into the fitting, you need to take a small screwdriver and tuck the braid in as you push. It takes a lot of effort especially after six of the fittings. My hands and shoulders are a bit sore today LOL!20210223_16264420210223_19073520210223_19045520210223_19061120210223_212536

The last picture is my fuel pump and filter mount, similar to what Carlos diss on his car. The fuel comes in at the top left from the tank into a pre-filter. There is a Tee that splits off to my heater fuel pump. The hose goes into the EFI pump, then out to the already mounted Subaru post-filter.

From the final filter it will travel to the feed line in the tunnel and go to the passenger side fuel rail. Then across to the driver's side, then to the regulator. After the regulator it goes to the return line in the tunnel and back to the tank.

I completely disassembled the regulator and found the diaphragm in good shape. I cleaned the parts up in my ultrasonic cleaner, dried them with compressed air, and reassembled.

The Gates Barricade EFI hose is very tough and difficult to get over the barbs. Even with silicone spray or oil(I tried both) it takes a lot of twisting and pushing.
