Well this is the 2nd sr20det blacktop I got, the 1st one was replaced due to two bad cylinders.

Well this blacktop is also a FML moment too because one of the fuel lines is kinked and spraying gas all over the intake manifold. Waterpump leaks like a waterfall and I have a mystery exhaust leak!

Anyways I order a ISIS screamer turbo outlet, ISIS V2 Tubular exhaust manifold, waterpump, tstat, and a oil catch can from enjuku racing. I cannot thank Ken and BG enough for their help!

Here are pics from the blacktop.. how can i fix this? get a pipe cutter and connect the fuel line? get a entire fuel line rail used?



im pointing to the kinked part of the fuel line.. yes i know my fingernails are dirty

that looks like your line in?IDK if its THAT BIG of a deal.Your Fuel pUmp will fill the rail...your FPR will feel the pressure and open when necessary. If you are worried about it...take it to a machine shop or buy a new one...A machine shop will cost you a 100 bucks a used Fuel rail maybe 50....an aftermarkter one will be about 200...so just choose your poison.

I would try to either replace it or run a soft line up to the main hard line. If it's spraying gas, it's probably not going to be easily fixed, especially given the soft nature of the metal. You'd probably do more damage than good trying to weld up the hole.

Seriously, if you're spraying fuel just replace it. Why risk it.
