Let me clarify that I do not believe it to be the BEST, or SAFEFEST, or most RELIABLE way to tap. Never said it was. I think I stated that I have the Altered Atmosphere adapter already and fully intend on installing it.

You however MISSED the point. before you even began posting, he originally stated that he had no intentions of using adapters and was going to "t" it off regardless. He even thanks a member for his advise on getting one, but opted to pass. At this point, I determined him to be set on looking for pictures of where and how members have tapped their fuel lines using a T. How I determined this you might ask? Because that is what he asked for!

spdu4ia, I have to agree with 10secapsttz that this is not the best method of tapping, but since you have elected to go this route, I took some pictures for you from a few different angles. Even though it's not the best, I don't think you are guaranteed a failure or fire by using this method. Too many others are successful and will continue to be successful with it.

 

Different angles for you with the last one being a great shot of the fire prevention device on top of the plenum. I am only messing with ya 10secapsttz!

 

Yes, it only makes sense that the more connections and adapters you have, the more problems you can have. That's only common sense, but by no means a revelation. However, cutting a hose will also increase that chance, since you are making that hose intentionally weaker, so your arguement doesn't hold true that doing one will be better than the other.

The adapter we sell is the same thing that stillen uses on their supercharger kit to "t" fuel for the 7th injector. And how many stillen SC cars have you heard suffer from oil flow failure, or fires etc....?

AND if you are worried about fires, and fuel problems etc... why go nitrous? Just by adding a nitrous kit to your car you increase the chances of similar incedents occuring for a multitude of other reasons, let alone a fuel T adapter. What about cutting that main hose, and it rupturing? I'd rather have an adapter leak, at least that way you can remove it quickly if need be, where a hose you can't since you cut it shorter.

Just my $.02

 

Hey Tony, I got a question, since I am planing in going Stillen + Nitrous I am wondering how the fuel splice will take place using this adapter. Will I need another one and will they piggyback off each other or does the Stillen one connect to a different location?

 

I wouldnt use two of these.
The only way you could do it would be to stack it, and that's not a good idea.
I would say that use the fitting, and then with the AN fitting that screws into that, use a AN T instead. It's basically a screw in, with two exits. I would highly urge you not to run both SC and nitrous though....
Unless you've spent thousands upon thousands on a bottom end build up.

 

thanks for the info,

there are actually several people who are running this combo on a stock block without issues for a quite a while now. The Stillen Stage 2 gives you around 330 whp and if you add a 100 shot for the track controlled by a maximizer you go to around 430 whp which is a number that has worked well for quite a few APS TT owners that use that daily compared to only at the track.

 

It's all about how the power is delivered. I am aware of some people getting that much power out of an fi kit daily. However, combining two power adders like that is usually not a good thing unless you have a motor that will back it up. Just because on paper you run 430hp or whatever, doesn't mean one setup will work just like another. It's all about how that power is transferred and delivered... Is one setup putting more stress on the motor and drivetrain than another??? you just have to think of things like that. I'm sure it would work, in fact I know it will, but that still doesn't mean that I recomend it. If you've seen some of the blown Z's I've seen here (and these are basic all motor Zs) you'll understand why from a dealership's perspective, why I wouldn't recomend it. Not saying it itsn't goign to work, just I wouldn't do it......

 

point taken, that's one of the reasons I don't want an everyday high powered solution.
Mid size power for everyday and then the additional punch for the track only.
also one reason I'm not too much of a turbo fan because they are so much harder to control.
fyi: I looked at the Stillen instructions last night and based on that the location to put their fuel adapter is different then the location for the Nitrous fuel adapter (same adapter though)
