Modernizing a 40 year old fuel component - 1984 Porsche 944 

I used a cheap ultrasonic cleaner and injector trigger, connected to a 12v power supply (lawnmower battery in my case)

Yeah, used seafoam. The device it's in is an ultrasonic cleaner, which is probably better explained by someone else but I'll give it a shot. It's creating high frequency sound waves to create cavitation bubbles that result in a cleaning action when they collapse. Basically allows us to clean the hard to reach areas (inside the injectors) I've since added an injector tester too in order to run the injector while cleaning it for more thorough cleaning

@@falqonslanding That was a pretty good explaination, lol. Thanks man, good vid!

It ran horribly before the damper. Similar symptoms and if you pull the vacuum line off after running it for a bit you'll likely find fuel in there too

It should. I'm not too familiar with the 944 platform as a whole but I do know they made a few design changes across the years. If your fuel rail (ie: location of regulator and damper) is similar to mine, the answer is yes. Otherwise, you'll just have to take into account whether you have the space you need to mount the radium damper.

Have you determined whether it will work?

No not yet. Unfortunately it's been on the back burner with a few other projects preceding it. I'd love to hear back if you get anything sorted for it though

Hey there! Correct, both devices at the end of the fuel rail were replaced. However, there's a difference between the two in that: one is a regulator, and the other is a damper. What's seen at 4:27 is the new fuel regulator (Replacement P/N Beck/Arnley 158-0163). On one side (passenger), the regulator was replaced with the aforementioned, while on the other side (driver), the damper was replaced with the Radium Auto parts. The damper was purchased through Radium Auto's website. Ancillary parts I had to source through a variety of online sellers due to the wide variety of parts required to clear the mounting bracket for the old damper.

@@falqonslanding Thanks. That helps a bunch.

@@falqonslanding I should have asked this before but could you tell us the places you sourced these pieces? I’ve bern on Radium’s site and seen what I believe is your damper. I guess I must find out what these do so I can ask relevant questions and not look silly.

Sure thing, listed below and updated the description. Thanks for the questions, helps me understand what you all want to see included in information! 8AN Flare To 16mm X 1.5 Metric Adapter: Russell Performance, SKU 670550 (Looks like they might be out of stock) 8AN to 8AN Swivel: Amazon, "EVIL ENERGY 8AN Female to 8AN Female Straight Swivel Coupler Union Fitting" 8AN Female to Male: Ebay, 8 AN Female to 8 AN Male Extension 1-5/8" Black Anodized Fuel Damper: Radium Auto, 20-0776 FPD-R, 8AN ORB

I found a Podavelle 8 AN female flare to 8 AN male flare. Is this what I need? Ordered everything else as far as fittings.

Radium Auto - 20-0776 FPD-R, 8AN ORB

I wasn't aware of that. Even on older cars such as this?

I believe those are ROH wheels (from Australia) with Porsche center caps - they look exactly like the same wheels on my 944 (only with ROH center caps).
