How To Run Bigger Fuel Lines In Your Car

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Want More power from your car but your fuel system is restricting you? Running a larger Feed line to your engine bay can help free up some of the restrictions from your stock fuel system! It's not as hard as a lot of people think it is to do! We're doing this on my 2014 Subaru WRX but the concept is the same across other cars!

    the huge different is the flow rate of the lines and fittings between evil energy (or any cheaper brand) for any sub 400whp cars you wont notice much, once you crest that number esp with a car that creates high engine loads youll effectively change whatever an line size you started with, to the next size down, increased risk of fuel starvation and pumps over working not hazing you over this, just more knowledge!
