Its for the surge tank. I bought 1/4" because thats what ams uses on theirs, now that i have the material i would go no thicker than 3/16" next time. The 1/4" is just overkill and kind of heavy.

I would put the filter after the pump feeding off the surge tank. If the pump goes it will send crap right to the rail and injectors.

Ok now i would like to discuss about the lines...
I have 1 x 8an outlet & 3 x 6an outlet on the surge tank.

8an - surge tank to fuel rail.
6an - for overflow bck to cell
6an - fpr to surge tank ( run frm below the fpr back?
6an - cell to surge tank

Am i correct?

Possible? Any flow issue?

Advise please....

Setup will be in this manner;

2.5L Surge Tank -> 02X EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP -> FUEL CONVERTER BLOCK (2XINLET + 1XOUTLET) -> FUEL FILTER -> LINEs to FUEL RAIL.

I ran a similar setup on my twinturbo 240z. Please see pics below and I would not recommend running the Earl prefilters on your setup.

The filter is a Permacool filter that has 2x 1/2 NPT inlets/outlets and flows 25gpm. I ran each pump to the inlets and used a single -10 outlet.
