Default Are these lines OK?

I ordered some lines & ordered 2 of them a little short... What do you guys think?




If the lines being turned that tight could cause any problems, I'll order some longer ones...

Thanks!

cant hurt to put on some longer ones. i measured mine correctlythe first time, but then i put on a fuel pressure guage and now mine are almost as maxed out as yours.
EDIT: also, i have my solenoids on the other sides of the brackets, it looks a bit cleaner. just a suggestion. you are on your way there.

Good point on the solenoids, nice set up.

I just threw it on there to see if the lines would reach, I'll flip them around when I install it.

I agree with smooth transition,as well I would prefer a bit more line,but it is not like those lines are going to pinch anyways,you will be fine.

Yea I would try flipping them around and see if the tension is not as great. You don't want to put too much stress on the crimp fitting like that.

How does it look now? I only have 1 question/concern. The NX n2o noid had the nitrous "out" on the bottom & that won't work this way. Can it be capped off??? (On the opposite side from the "in" is where the purge was.)



I just got home from a LONG cruise/show & had to throw them back on to take a look.

Thanks!

Unfortunately it won't work that way on the nitrous solenoid. If you leave it attached at that port it will just allow the nitrous to flow straight through when you open the bottle. Fuel side looks better.

That is what I thought, I looked at the noid again & saw 2 "ins" & only 1 out. Looks like I'll be ordering another line from you guys.

Got it all installed now, the only thing left is to make my purge discharge & go out to test it.

NOS 78mm plate, NX solenoids, purge kit & bottle heater, Dave's window switch, 860 spare tire mount & thanks to HSW for some slick looking black lines.

I made a few test hits today @ lunch time w/ 100hp jets. Everything seems good, it pulled hard, even on 900-950 psi in the bottle. Can't wait for some track time this weekend.
