This is brilliant. I've been looking to get this done on my 924S, but wasn't sure how difficult it might be. It's not a job I'd want to tackle myself, but at least now I know the labor involved to do the job shouldn't cost the earth.
Go to van svenson on utube a check out his videos about his LS1. 944 race car build . car works well and will be running AER. Endurance race this weekend in Atlanta. I was going to shoot a video about the car and interview Van . that will be on my channel ,Arthur Mchugh. In a week or so ! 😄
Great job guys going to add that to my list of projects. The "normal" line is the fuel return line and low pressure thus the hose clamps. The crimped line is high pressure 60 to 80 psi and possibly more depending on the application so nothing to mess with.
The tank to pump hose on my '86 944 turbo sprung a leak, so I'm about to replace the necessary lines on the car. Still not sure if I'm gonna go with braided or factory lines and I'm also considering having an hydraulic shop build some for me. Keep up the good work, guys- I've been following you for about two years now.
I recommend also replacing the old jumper line at the same time (You can see it goes from the end of the fuel-rail, below and around to the damper. Or you will have to remove the high-pressure fitting and damper again to replace it later.)
@@BoostBrothersGarage Since you're apparently online, I do have a question about the 944 that you might be able to help me out with. Do you know what the module is that's mounted just in front of the battery and just behind the passenger strut tower? Looks like it's got a cable actuator that goes through the firewall over by the brake master cylinder and a black rubber hose on the back side that goes into the unknown?
@@BoostBrothersGarage Awesome...Thank you!! I'm currently working my way through all of your 944 videos. Thanks again for all of your content as I know it takes a ton of time and effort to get all of that stuff edited and uploaded. It'll be an invaluable asset when I get digging into my '86. Keep it up!!
Not to sure yet. We haven’t even started the car yet. But, the belt and crank pulley for the power steering had been removed when we bought the car. I don’t know if they did anything else to swap to manual steering, or how long ago that was.
Ha, for sure! It’s funny though, a lot of people complain the the 944 is tough to work on because of the transaxle. I definitely prefer it to Cayman, at least doing engine work.
So just curious as I have been looking at doing this myself but don't want to chop the steel lines. Why doesn't anybody make them with both ends as EZ fittings? Was just going to make my own but want to know of any reasons why you would want to chop the lines.
Good question... The line going to the FPR is just a rubber hose with worm gear clamps in each end, so it’s easy enough. The compression fitting and flare fitting that are now used are likely just for a more secure connection. However, the other hose is a hydraulically clamped line (at the fuel line coming out of the inner fender) and is therefore not removable/repairable. For that line you have to cut it off and use a compression fitting moving forward. After hearing some of the horror stories, it was worthwhile in our minds.
I guess I am going to have to do some investigating under the fender. The lines had already been changed when I bought the car. I have nipples on all 4 connections. From what you are saying that doesn't sound stock.
This isn’t the correct hose, but is an example of what the factory “crimp” looks like: www.paragon-products.com/Fuel-Line-Rail-to-Damper-p/pp-944.110.413.02.htm
Wouldnt it have been better to leave the exit plan for when you lose to the Z this year? Boost Bro's ricer excuse: "My car burnt down!".... Now you dont have that option!
Ha! I legit can’t wait to do it again this year. What’s our wager going to be? What are you going to do when you lose to a car with 600 less horsepower?!
I don’t believe the kit I installed will, but this kit does and I can vouch for Rennbay stuff. Looks like you just have to note the right option for your year: rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F142958415606
@@BoostBrothersGarage thanks for the reply, by any chance what fuel pump do you have on? And i dont think they fit :c looks different compared to mines, and hey my car fuel damper and fuel pressure regulator were left open exposed for a whole 5 + , i should most definitely replace everything fuel related right? Like fuel line hoses for damper fpr, and new damper and fpr?
Low mileage isn’t necessarily a good thing when it comes to a classic car that has sat. Just means that the rubber parts need to be replaced or at least closely inspected!
