does anyone think a smaller ID line will starve a SUBY engine?

i ask because Rotary's are far more affordable than tangerine's.

Bigger is usually better.

I'm running Robert's smaller set w/ a NA Suby6. No problem. Can't speak to the Turbo's w/ larger injectors but I don't think it would be greater than a 9mm line shooting gas at 60psi.

Go to your local Suby dealer and ask the parts guy what his stock lines are and make purchases accordingly.

Ask your favorite female if size matter.

she would never tell me if it did whew

she always says "good things come in small packages" you think she is talking about my ....

$86 vs $149

i'd need a compelling reason to spend $60 extra bucks. though matching fuel line size to the fuel lines on a suby engine might do it, vs buying reducers to overcome the size difference ??

You need to compare apples to apples.
My regular 2 piece sets are $99
I don't recommend the Suby set to anyone, and I only sell them to people who insist, or have a high horsepower V8 installed.

10 feet of 9mm ID tubing flowing 60F gasoline at 1 gpm has a pressure loss of about 0.5 psi.

Throw in 4 x 90 degree bends and it goes up to 1 psi.

Draw your own conclusions....
