I replaced mine with a -6AN bulkhead fitting. I just cut the pipe off, drilled out the hole, and installed the fitting. 90 degree -AN fitting on top to connect to the stock line. Worked like a champ.
Then I upgraded to two pumps in tank, and ran all new fuel lines.

Yep that's what I did on mine and SJ's too. If you don't replace all the lines you will need an -6AN to metric adapter, don't remember the size off hand, to connect to the stock line under the car.
Kind of off topic, but JHammer how much line did you need to go from the tank to the stock fuel filter location?

ok, I've ordered some fittings already. but when I drill a hole and put that fitting in, what should I use to seal that hole? teflon tape? some rubber?

the bulkhead fittings normally come with a rubber washer to seal the hole.

Both holes are right next to each other. There is room there for both if you are careful.

for now, I will be happy with WG pressure. I just want to drive it again. so complete fuel upgrade will wait just a little.
but I replace the rusted line with AN fittings. it works for now!

where can I get injectors cleaned? it "feels" like one or two are not spraying enough.
I got my ECUs back from rebuild. They look like new.

alright, looks like I was having some fuel pressure issues. Now car is back on the road. Feels pretty good. 16psi (13psi at redline) and "lots" of torque. I like it. with that oil cooler, my temps are at 160 cruising, and 180 idling. Now I have a mix of premium and e85, in transition to only e85. That is the plan. I should be able to max those 450cc out before any other fuel upgrades (I already have hotwired 255lph pump). I also would like to see if I can run e85 and 450cc without safc correction. after all, they are ~20% larger. If that will run fine, I would like to take it to the awd dyno in GB. Hoping to make 350 awhp/tq. After that, get decent fuel setup with dual 340lph pumps to max out those 13Ts on e85. Hoping for 500awtq and anything above 400awhp is good enough for me. so that is what I have in mind. PS: I need to get some struts and seats, before other things.

If those 13T's don't work out for you, I have a pair of DR650R's that will be for sale soon.

no, thank you. if anything I'd be doing some 3.5L with dr1200 size turbos, in future. that if I will not be satisfied with current setup.
