Those manifolds aren't flanged for a Tial 40mm? Not last I checked? Do the holes actually line up? They've always had that HKS rectangle flange...?

handful of guys on the link forums seem to be fine running these on E85.

Submersible line is supposed to have a 30r10 rating and regular lines 30r9. At $20/ft, 30r10 isn't what will come in a typical install kit. Less expensive line will certainly work but the oils will get pulled out of it over time--you'll find the black goo in your fuel filter and on your injector tips a year from now.

How does that relate to the Y-fitting that I was referring to?

I haven't checked to see if it matches up, but I will now that you've said that. I assumed i was a Tial 40 because of the square flange not only on the manifold, but on the dump tube as well. Don't the HKS's have a 4-bolt manifold flange, but a 2 bolt flange for the dump tube? Maybe I assumed wrong and I just goofed... :(

HKS WG Time?

I was commenting on the photo of the install kit.

All of the aftermarket double-pump kits that I've seen use a metal Y. I'd be more concerned about plastic cracking under pressure than the fuel chewing it up. That piece looks sturdy from the pic.

Full Blown uses brass parts in their kits and they should be cheap if you can find what you need--it's basically plumbing or hydraulic parts rather than designed for fuel like AN fittings.

I ran a brass T on my DSM setup, and would always catch flack about how it wasn't ideal for flow because it's a T and not a Y, yet I never really seemed to have an issue with it. The metal Y's I'm finding are in he $25+ dollar range, which I'm too cheap to do that. While I would much rather have a metal fitting, if others are using this without issue I may give it a shot as they are $1. Or I'll just hit up Ace and run another brass T and say screw the nay-sayers :)

I'd do metal fittings, but thats just me. If its be proven to work, then well it works. Piece of mind thing for me.

Boo T-fittings, remember to upgrade the wiring. :wink:

I ran a brass T also Brandon. I think we made right around the same hp (512 DJ@DB), so we certainly didn't find the limit for the T itself.

Yeah i made 541 DD@DB (628 DJ@MAP)
