Fuel System Questions

If I end up back in the states after I leave Italy I'm gonna take on a pretty big project.

F20C (Honda S2000) motor/tranny into an AE86 Corolla. I've already got most of the angles covered as far as the install goes, except one, fuel system.

If I do this project in order to keep initial costs low I'm going to pick up an SR5 model (carburated, 4ac motor) with a straight body.

I know that I could take the fuel lines and tank and pump from the GT-S Corolla and use those. But I was thinking as long as I'm going to be going all out on this project, I might as well use a 8-10gal fuel cell, external pump, and custom fuel lines.

Would it be as simple as going to a machine shop and having them bend custom lines the way I need them? Or can I use some sort of steel braided line to make it easier?

I'm kinda a noob when it comes to this fairly advanced stuff, but I'm trying to learn

Any help would be appreciated!
Jason

Yeah, on Jegs I've seen SS flexible lines in like, 5, 10, and 15 foot lengths or something like that, but I dont know if they can handle the psi of fuel injection, if they can then the weren't that expensive and are a fairly good route too go. If you don't mind the money, and hassle, have custom bent lines.

Re: Fuel System Questions

Yeah you could run braided hosing, but it would be a hell of alot cheeper to go hard lines, and you can bend them yourself- no need to go to a machine shop. More than likely you can just modify the factory line.
