Do I need fuel line upgrades?

[mikeg135]

Currently I have an EZ box and BD Step II's. I do not what to risk any reliability issues with the current stock fuel line/pump setup.



Do I need to upgrade my fuel lines? If so what do I need? Pusher pump, banjo bolts.





Thanks,

Mike

Mike, what's your fp reading at full throttle under a load ???

At WOT I have not seen it under 6 psi. But that was empty and not pulling anything behind.



But I have notice that the FP is lower overall with the injector install. Not by much I would say about 1-2 psi

I am going to venture out on a limb here and say yes you do, because you have a 24v, with the stock Carter in the stock position. WAY too many 24v's are suffering from lift pump failers not to do the simple things to stregenthen the fuel system.



just my silly $. 02,

If you have a bad lift pump have it changed.



All you need with an EZ and stage 2 injectors would be Ray T's upgraded banjo bolts.



I run a VA and 2's with a good lift pump and I never see lower than 10 PSI



Just my 2 cents

Okay, 6 psi's at WOT isn't bad, although Steve St. posted that they now want no lower than 8 psi's at WOT, I'm doubtful that 2 psi's make much a difference as long as you have positive flow to the injection pump. If I were you and if you are concerned over the warranty, I'd buy enough of those bored out banjo bolts from Geno's Garage to replace all in bound banjos. That should be enough for you right now. More fueling demands, such as larger injectors and or another fueling box may make it necessary to change to something different, such as Weber fittings in replacement for the banjos. You are not calling for a huge amount of fuel with the EZ and the stage 2 injectors. Hope this helps !!!
