Looks like you've had all the vac hoses done with the LR kit - what sort of boost control are you running? - hard to spot in the pics. It also looks like the FPR is standard? (3 bar ones I've seen need a different hose as they don't have threaded fittings)

Well, it should be a 3 bar one as that is what came with the rest of the LR kit, including the manual boost controller and 3" downpipe etc - currently 16psi, I think.

Kit all fitted at RPM for PO, some 5 months ago so I will pull out invoice and check![:D]

It's a RPM tailpipe too as the LR one was a 4" system and considered too 'chavvy' by RPM, apparently!

edh, you were absolutely correct - I have ordered a 3 bar one form Promax and it will be going on at the weekend. Apparently comes with an adaptor so that it can fit the original threaded connector.

Thanks for spotting that before i melted anything![8|]

That's interesting!

btw - I reckon it's cheaper to buy most stuff from the states at the moment (and places like LR ship faster than most UK vendors [:D] )

I got Pirtek to make me a new hose - using the original screw fitting at one end & just a hose clamp at the other (I believe it's fairly low pressure so not a big worry).

Next question - do you have a boost gauge? - you'll never know what's really going on until you do. The factory gauge is a bit imprecise.
 
edh, I now have my 3 bar fuel regulator but Promax have simply advised that I cut the threaded connector off the end and attach the now bare hose to the new regulator with a cable clip.

What did you get from Pirteck - did you take in the old hose or just sketch it out for them.

Want to get this done this weekend if I can, then I can stop worrying about melted pistons etc...[8|]

Thanks
 
I guess if it will reach OK....

The hose is inside a thick rubber sleeve - I don't know how tidy you'll be able to make it.
I think it's neater to get a new hose - take your old one in to Pirtek - get them to remove the fitting you need & crimp it into a new hose - it'll only be a few quid

There are various ways to de-pressurise the fuel system - I left the car running & pulled the fuel pump fuse which seemed to work OK. My FPR was a very tight fit - hard to remove & even harder to push fit back in.

 
Thanks edh, off to my local Pirtek tomorrow, once I've got the old one off tonight - hopefully without spraying petrol everywhere...[&:]
