so i read ur fuel adjustment read...great and simple...i just bought the nismo FPR u mentioned and was wondering...

would running the line be easier adding this http://enjukuracing.com/greddy...2_136

i was thinking it make it alot easier than risking bending the pipeand i run less hose to it...and avoid a pinch...

im adding my UEGo to the mix aswell adn buying a Fuel gauge for the cabing...

I don't really think it would help. I'm picturing it in my head, and the only way it would work would be to flip the FPR upside down, but then you won't be able to adjust it.

I wouldn't try to bend the tube either, it probably will break.

AFAIK, LOTS of ppl have used this FPR on the CA, and none have had issues with the extra hose needed to use it.

Good thinking though!

well i was thinking about rotating it upsidedown...i looked at my fuel rail and the stock FPR point towards the Intake...

i thought why not use this thing to rotate it aiming towards the engine, still have accessibility and less hose...if anything ill gounie pig it and maybe purchase to try it...

i bought the FPR last night...same part number in ur thread, not all i need is a gauge and im set

ok good lol i have to install mine in the spring (alot of snow here already), and i was always worried about bending it because it doesn't look very strong to begin with. Whew! lol

Eh, looks like a waste of money to me

I mean, it's not that much extra hose, and it works fine.

Yea, I didn't think about the actuator. Did you already buy it?

I run the nismo FPR that mounts remotely, and does not attach to the fuel rail. Just some food for thought, it cannot get in the way of anything back there because it runs fuel to the rail via a small adapter and a hose. It wouldn't improve your hose length situation, but it does make it easier on you if there is limited space back there on your car.
