Hey guys, I got a great deal on a universal afpr kit. It has a few weird things going on though.
1. Each -an fitting has a small hole in the side of the fitting (see pic)
2. It only came with 4 o rings, 2 small 2 large that are hard metal inside with rubber on the outside. What are these for? They are flat and the kit says I need to buy orings for it. Should I just get a vitron assorted oring box?
Also the fittings when I assemble them tightly and blow through them, they leak air. Is that because they need o rings installed in them on the base of the threaded part?
From what I understand there is supposed to be an indented section on the female threaded part of the fitting that the oring sits in. These fittings however are just threaded all the way up to the top with no indented spot for the oring to seat in.
Also is it okay to put the plug into the left side instead of the right that it came in? I want the line that goes to the rail to come out of the right side of the afpr so I put the plug into the left side. I also took out the pressure line fitting and put teflon tape on that and on the gauge threads before installing them. I know not to use teflon on any of the other fittings though.
Do you think the universal fitting that bolts to the fuel rail will work or should I just order the one that is made for 1g dsm fuel rails from STM and will that fitting they sell for a 1g fuel rail work for a 1990 rail? I have a 90 gsx.
Let me know what you guys think and thanks for the help!
