How To Run Bigger Fuel Lines In Your Car
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- 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!

They legit make this so much easier 🔥🔥🔥
@Smeedia Yes they do. I first saw then on JRs channel, Baders friend. What you all do with these cars is 👏.
Ya the longer i have my Subaru the more i realize I need one lol
These daily videos got me feeling spoiled. Love the content! I wish I could use the magic of editing for my paychecks and parts to arrive LOL
Trying to keep up with the Daily uploads 🔥😅
@@Smeedia I can't believe you're able to fit as much into one day as you do lol, props man.
I love the genuine surprise that feeding the fuel line through the saddle went so smoothly
They normally don't go that easy 😅😅😅
“safety squint”😂🤣😂🤣😂
Also, this doesn’t look too hard. Thanks for always giving us confidence to do crazy ish on our cars!
It's really not too bad to do, the worst part is feeding that line under the saddle. For some reason mine was stupid easy to pass through 😅
So my auction car came with dual fuel pumps, radium hanger, and custom fuel lines already. But I have yet to see a fuel filter so, once again, Tanner to the rescue! Lol 😂 saving my build once again. Lol
Ohhhhh you got some goodies loaded in that thing!
@@Smeedia yea came with aeromotive FPR, fuel rails,8AN fuel lines, radium fuel hanger with duel fuel pumps(unknown brand right now), TGV deletes, OUTFRONT closed deck block with CP pistons at 99.5 and 8.5.1, MANLEY H PRO TUFF piston rods with ARP200 rod screws, ARP 2000 head studs, GSC stage 2 Cams, EXEDY stage 5 clutch, Cobb 4 bar map sensor, custom MAF delete to Speed density setup. Yea I think that’s everything lol
I know these technical videos don't always do well but God damn are they vital for guys like me
They're never intended to do well, but kore so there to help people who need the info. I've never been big on making videos for views only. Rather have the helpful info on here. That's how we started out and I'll always keep making em 🥳
I just picked up a forester XT to fix I’m so excited to use the knowledge I’ve gained 😤
Seeing you do D.I.Y. things gives me so much confidence when working on my car.
They to show that anyone can do this stuff 🥳
Been putting off redoing my fuel lines and installing some FIC 1650's because I was worried about having leaks. I'll be following this when I assemble mine.
Hopefully it helps when the time comes 🥳
I feel like i can do my own fuel line now...thank you for sharing.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
That's what is up Tanner keep up the good work . I cant wait to get all these things going on my Legacy .
Yassss, make the lgt make some powa!
@@Smeedia I'll be running ID2000s and twin walboro 450s you think I should switch out my aluminati fuel Rails for some which allow fuel dampers to be used. ?
You've been pumping out the content
Trying to 🔥🥳
Another useful video enjoyed in my comfy Smeedia sweats, thanks by the way, imagining all the extra power and fun my car will bring come spring 😃
Can't wait until spring time when things get nice out again 🥳🔥
Gotta make everything look simple. Even when it's in a tight spot. Love it brother 💪🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yooo, this shit is so helpful, thank you for being so in depth!!
I got you 🔥🙏
Hi Tanner! As always great video.
I usually attache something to the old line/cable what ever you replace and pull the new one in with it's help. Makes things sometime easier.
Keep up the content 😃
I've done that before and makes life much easier for pulling lines theough. Trying to shove and lush it to wherver its going can be a PIA sometimes 😅
Thats looks like a fun install! My wrx falls slightly around 4800rpm, due to being on 91oct. Night be time I focus on fuel upgrades too🤘🏼🤤🤘🏼!
Then again I was tuned on a mustang dyno🤷🏻♂️. Numbers were ugh? 259whp-tq was like 310 on 91 cobb custom tune.
Mustang dyno numbers are always kinda meh, get some fueling and turbo upgrades going my man!
@@Smeedia turbo upgrades done just need the fueling 👍🏼
Thank for the confidence boost man! My car has a fuel pump that’s going out and I want to do ahigh flow set up and fuel rail upgrade with aem stuff but I don’t want to keep the stock lines. This vid help a lot.
Love these detailed videos will help me build my wrx 👌🏆🔥
Is it necessary to replace the hard line around the 500-600whp range? Would -6an work for that power range as well?
-6 AN would be fine. Anything north of 550 I'd suggest bumping up off the stock line to a dedicated feed 🤝
My 85 rx turbo has an external pump from the factory so the big pump and line system was pretty easy. They didn’t have the tech in the 80s so there is a lot more room.
Turn on pump and flow into bucket before final install.
I’ve actually been wondering about this tbh, tanner have you done or would you do a video on how to run and build the fuel lines for bigger power in the front in parallel? I’m installing my fuel rails, id1300s, aeromotive fpr and custom lines soon
I can show it in an upcoming video 🤝
@@Smeedia my guy youre a legend
What type of rivets were those?? Great video!! Thanks
Just standard rivets 🔥😁
Those damn spiders! Nature's bastards. Some serious fuel line on that thing now. Josh, here comes the sauce!!
BRUH they come from no where lol. We coming for him 🔥
Dope video im late I know 😂😂 but i just want to change my fuel lines from the oem to braided. Do i need to make a return line like the feed line? And what about for the evap system line ??
So would this mod on a NA Subaru engine FB20 Crosstrek... Help in the power department? With bigger injectors and tune?
If your under 500WHP you don't really NEED to do this 🙏
How do you know which size lines you need? Would too big be a problem? Possible pressure loss?
Too big can be a problem if you have too small of a pump
Stock lines are fine up to 500whp
500-650 I'd do -6 AN
650+ -8AN
@@Smeedia Thank you! That helps a lot!
Could you do this with stock or just an aftermarket fuel pump? Also if you did the AEM fuel pump would you recommend doing this as well if you’re not lookin to make a lot of power?
You can do it with stock, you would just need an SAE to -6 AN adaptor 🤝
AEM fuel pump I would stick with stock lines
@@Smeedia thank you!
Yo tanner, got a question could you explain everything that is needed to do the poor man’s 6 speed swap? You need the 6 speed, 05 impreza driveshaft, sti starter, and sti slave cylinder, is that all that you need?
It must be an automatic driveshaft, but for the most part that's pretty much it 🤝
SKEET SKEET BANG BANG!!!!!
GANG GANG
Hey Tanner Are AN fittings supposed to rotate? Ir if its rotating means I didn't tighten it enough? I was scared of breaking it so I might have not tightened it enough.
They should be able to move a small amount but nothing crazy 🙏
Any tips on modifying the fuel system without it being obvious for us out here in California??? I’d love to do up the fuel system of the Fozzy!!!
5:52 feed and return
highly recommend a radium fuel pulsation dampener..........
i LOVE THIS CHANNEL MAN
MY FAV
I stopped watching football for this video
Who's playing 👀
@@Smeediabills and jets only game I can get, bills are winning 14-7. This is better though.
@@Smeediaalso I have someone possibly wanting to trade STIs they have a built 04 Java black STI with the 5x114.3 conversion. For my 11 STI. Think I should do it if I get money on my end? My car is pushing 400 and has 67k miles he has 115k on the chassis 5k in the motor.
@David if you can get cash + his car I would 100% do that 🔥
@@Smeedia I’m thinking 3-5k with the car. It’s hella clean. No rust and gold bbs
Tips on cutting/tapping into my feed line for innovate motorsports ethanol sensor? I'm doing dual maps soon. Since no FF I don't have 2 separate lines included in Cobbs ff kit and have to cut into my line
What about upgrading the return side? Do we need to do that?
any guess on how many feet you used to get it to the front of the vehicle? Thinking about buying a pre made line because I dont trust myself lol
Hey Tanner did you have to upgrade the return line as well ?
Hi all,
I have a 2013 sti, when its cold outside, around 0 Celsius. In amerika i think 50 degree😅. Anyway I will hear for 2 sec high grinding sound. Only at really cold weather. Who knows what it could be
Is it coming from the engine or trans?
@@Smeedia good question i need to listen next time where it’s the loudest
Adel clamps
Is this the actual name of them? 😅
@@Smeedia well I’m a aircraft mechanic and that’s what we call them and there are manufactured under the name adel could have been the original inventor they have been around for 70 yrs
What are you doing for engine management for this one since you've got no TGVs?
Cobb 👀
Need to do this on an classic car. Assuming it’ll work other than my fuel sending unit connection is a metal 3/8 barb. What’s the best way to connect that to this style line?
My AOS is using ugly rubber hose with plumbing style fittings so I want to change to something nicer like this. Thanks for the tips on how to put it together!
Anytime! AN lines make life suuuuper easy for routing housed when you don't want the rubber lines 🔥
Hello. Do i need to do this if im planning to go to 500WHP? Thanks for your video
I zip tie it to that round tube that comes back from the engine. Hahaha😂
Next step, swirl tank in the trunk. 😁
Not a terrible idea 👀🔥
Ok this might be a stupid question but I planned to do a threaded 8AN fitting to a SAE to attach to the stock fuel return lines…. Will I be causing a fuel pressure problem or I guess more of a return fuel problem since I have ran 8AN from my pump but then am using a stock size for return?
For the crossover/siphon line do you just leave it oem or upgrade it to -6 AN
you ever get any gas smell seep through the EE hose? I'm dealing with some other cheap AN hose that constantly bleeds vapor. (no liquid leaks, only smell) ):
So I’m thinking about doing the upgrade fuel line can you tell me where it goes at by the motor or do I need something to go with it the upgrade? Fuel lines I’ve never done before
Fuck yeah SMEEDIA!!!🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
JEREMYYYYY GOOO YES 👩🚀👩🚀👩🚀👩🚀
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!
Speaking of fuel. Where is a good place local to the 253 (Puyallup area) to get ethanol fuel ⛽️
Told ya so daddy! Haha! 😂 Thanks for sharing great video!!
Is there any line that’s good for e85 and 93? Or can I run a vibrant line like suggested and be fine running both?
At what point is it absolutely necessary to run -an line cause I know people who make good power on stock fuel lines
North of 500whp I'd swap to -6an
I'm not sure if flexible fuel line is allowed under the car in Europa.
Has anyone found a way to reduce injector "tick" after upgrading lines and injectors? I installed ID1300s,FPR and IAG lines and the tick is horrendous inside the car
Ok so did he only replace the fuel send line?
Hey, did you have to upgrade the Return and EVAP line as well? Or feed only?
That was WAY EASIER THAN IT SHOULD OF BEEN!" LOL
Rivet gun. Needed tool..
Nice 😁
Cool

This episode was a little gaseous, but not bloating. 😅😅😅 Why in the hell is parts delivery sooooo slow!! Until next.time. 🙏🙏🙏
So so slow 💔
