Anybody know where to get the little elbow hoses that go to the injectors? Checked PP and GPR but no listing.

Just use your regular fuel line and make them a little longer. Have to pull the fuel rails out of the way when putting the engine in but other than that it works fine.

Unless of course you want to spend the extra cash.

Same here...but be careful not to kink them or get them jammed while installing the engine. I ended up pinching one and it leaked. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif)

You will have to grind the brass bezels off and use the correct hose clamps top and bottom....

The bezels have already been removed. PO must have replaced them at one time. Luckily they used the good fuel line clamps.

Thanks guys.

BTW...make sure you check the clamps through out the system during break in. You don't want them leaking...anywhere! Spring for an in- line pressure gauge too. It will give you great results during tuning.

I got mine from High Performance House in Redwood City...not sure why you never try there??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

make sure you use the correct FI hose clamps, not the generic hose clamps sold at Kragens and such...

A little longer works but you need the yellow fuel lines in a yellow car. (yellow heat shrink tubing over stock black lines)

Just wondering cause I'm going to change two of my injectors - because the fuel is pumped in their by "pressure" - what can be expected when you disconnect on of these hoses from let's say the FI rail?

thanks, the rookie (again).

The system can hold pressure for while, Just relieve the pressure at one point where you can catch the fuel in something, or wait 30 minutes after shuting the pump off.

RustyWa... I have caught crap in fact I had my first one leak all over the top of the motor it was the cold start injector right beside the dist. Good place to leak gas. I went straight to Ricks VW in Sarasota Fl and he said they were fine just check them more often. I did not quite belive him with all that raw fuel all over my motor near the distributer. He said that is all he uses and cant help me get the OEM ones. I will have to check PP and see if they have a set. Im ready to switch now.

You can get proper (not OE but designed for FI/high pressure, dont' cut) at FLAPS.

You know what, I tried at my FLAPS and they looked at me like I was crazy asking for something different than the standard hose clamps. The line I got was "these will work just fine".

Luckily between the 2 motors I have I came up with enough to do one complete.
