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. idea.gif

$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....
