2G: AFPR install

[96talontso]

I have been searching around and i looked on vfaq but i cant find what i need to do, i have the aeromotive kit so if someone else has installed that and can give me a walkthrough that would be awesome.

They are using a Fuel Lab AFPR in video but no different to install

K well im having one HELL of a time with the an hoses and ive looked at the walkthroughs but the hose will NOT fit in the fitting no matter what.

Which one is better the Fuel Lab or Aeromative?

I like STM's fuel lab kit. It uses braided nylon hoses, you can cut it
Cleanly with a knife, a million times better to work with than SS that Frays all over. OP, wrap some tape around the end of your line, use a zip disc of some sort and cut the end off cleanly. Leave the remaining tape on the line and you should be able to get it in the AN fitting. It will be tough to get on, you will have to twist it in (almost as tho you are threading it in)

neither.

Great tips Dert. There is also an article on here on how to assemble hoses. A quick search should pull it up. OP if you are still having trouble PM me I may have a -6 AN already assembled depending on the length you need.

Just make sure you dont leave the tape on the hose when you put it in the AN fitting.

AWESOMENESS! THANKS!

Jrock has quite a few good how to videos, I referred people to them for various things.

I use a AN Kool tool (I think its called) it's basically a little box that fits the fitting inside and has a concave hole that leads to the fitting so it funnels any frays into the fitting with no mess, I clamp it in a vise. I can custom make my own lines in minutes with that tool.

^This is a full kit, the 6an alone is about $35 but well worth it.

To insert the base fitting I always use a bit of oil.

And yes, when cutting lines you should use a cut-off wheel. A cheap little dremel works great for me.

Having the right tools makes your life easier and you become a lot more confident in the job . I'm not sure if that kit would be needed, but I guess if it works for some then it works. AN wrenches are a great tool to have they keep the fitting surface free from scratches. Hose cutters are also a nice but hacksaw seems to work fine. Just consider when you purchase tools how often you will use them.

+1 on the Koul tool I use works great.

I cut my SS hoses with this cutter, goes thru the hose like nothing. Handles are long so no strain on my hands absolutly love it.
