Default any pictures of how you mounted your fpr?

Looking for pictures of how you mounted your fpr and routed your fuel lines in the engine bay. A lot of you have the ability to make it look really good, me I'm not one of those.

^ I take it that setup will supply fuel to both rails simultaneously? Instead of going from one rail to the next? Or is it just mounted to the rail?

Im a little confused on what you are asking, but it will supply fuel to both rails equally.

^ Yeah. It looks like it has the single line in and two output lines (one being the mounting point/fuel supply.) Wasn't sure if it was that, or just a different way of mounting it with the cross over in back of the intake. I was thinking about starting a thread like this before, but I've had a lot of reposts lately, so I decided not to.

Ill just map it out to maybe clear some things up and not cause any confusion.

The main feed line in on the drivers side rail between the middle 2 injectors. There is one crossover in the front and one in the rear. The line exiting out of the regulator that has the red fitting is the return line back to the tank.

Hope that helps

^ Yeah, I gotcha. Just hard to explain. It's not confusing, was just wondering if you were using the FPR as a T. You're running a return? Beefy system. I see a heavy clamp on the TB, you boosted/blown?


Sorry for the thread jack, OP.

Yeah, the return is the black/red fitting coming out of the regulator. That is NOT the feed line.

After looking at these pictures I have a question on my setup. I have my lines routed as follows. -8 in on the Drivers Side front fuel rail, a -8 crossover in back, a -6 out on the front Passanger Side to a regulator then back to the tank.

Should it be setup like these systems? A split feeding both rails, then both rails routed into the regulator? Is there a benefit to doing it this way?

Here's a pic of mine from a couple years ago (although it really hasn't changed much since then):



As for the above question, my understanding is that feeding the rails simultaneously is only really required a high HP levels (but I'm not sure what that number is). I feed mine in series like you currently do, and everything seems to be working just fine, but my engine is at near stock power levels (bolt-ons only + LS6 cam).

yeah, you can spend lots of cash & get really complicated w/ it if you want to & it all looks really cool, but the easiest/simplest way i have found is just the stock corvette fuel filter/regulator wich has the return line going back to the tank & one supply line up to the rails, works great for stock or slightly moded & is just as effective as the expensive stuff, looks really clean too!

i like this thread, keep it going., is everyone that is boosting referencing the regulator to boost? say, running 43.5 base pressure then ramping up with boost. i have no idea how to set mine up. HP tuners for the tune.


Quick Reply: any pictures of how you mounted your fpr?
