Default who is not useing a fuel tap plus plugs???

I know there are some poeple that did not use a fuel tap and just put a T on the fuel line. My NX kit just came in and I think I may just use a T, I know alot of you say use the fuel tap and I still may. I'm just trying to find some pics of where ya'll put the T in and if you have had any leaks (or just wish you would have went with a fuel tap).

Thanks

BTW I seached but was not coming up with what I was looking for (lots of pics of N2O set ups with the fuel tap)

USE the aam or ptp fuel regulator adapter. It will make install alot easier. From what ive gathered, the fuel line is plastic lined, making it harder to seal. Its worth the 40 bucks to not have to deal with a t-tap and to not have to worry about leaks at the t-tap.

ptp, http://ptp.tuningmotorsports.com/pro...cat=420&page=1

aams is 80 bucks plus 20 shipping. gl, hope that help

easier to convert back to stock for winter and alot less dangerous. you dont want any fuel leak that could cause a fire. here's aam http://www.alteredatmosphere.com/mm5...y_Code=350Z_FS but the other site has it for less $$$$.

i have put the T in two VQs, DONT DO IT!! it is such a pain in the *** because the T is too big to fit into the line and make it seal correctly. PLUS, the part you have to buy from nissan to put it back to stock is $100 dollars.



all in all the fuel tap is WAY less of a headache and cheaper too...

i used the AAM. IMO WAYYYY worth it. The peace of mind of not cutting the fuel line is worth more than 40 bucks and 2 days to get there.

the host for our website had a major server crash and lost our website and all the information, that is why the website is down.... we are working as fast as we can to get it back up and running but in the meantime I do have the adapters available and in stock so if anyone needs them just call us.

Thanks

jon

i understand that, but its a little up front to protect alot in the future. Imo, its worth the 60 bucks to make the setup just a tad bit safer. I dont trust a t-tap and hose clamps at 51psi of pressure.

have you called jon at ptp?

bolts can break just same as ring clamps can break. if done right both ways will last you a lifetime, that is unless you dont trust your work or tend to be sloppy.

+1 on the PTP adapter, I used this and it makes tapping the line a simple 2 minute job, but most importantly SAFE! I would never T a fuel line if I had an aftermaket option to cleanly tap the line c'mon guys do $hit right!!!

I don't want to start a new thread for this,

I searched and what do you guys like better for plugs the NGK LFR6A-11 or the NGK LFR6AIX-11 seen people are useing both, I'm not going with anymore then a 100 shot if it matters much. I used Zex plugs on my Altima and the car loved them but I seen that ya'll don't care for them on here.

there was an issue with zex plugs way back in the day where the threads were too short and they didnt completely cover the engine block threads. they ended up melting the threads on the engine block. i think that hurt them and they never fully recovered from it even though the problem has been taken care of last i heard.

the lfr6a-11's are 1 step colder copper plugs. they are great for nitrous use, but dont last. if you want to keep the car running at its best, then you will have to change them out every 8-12k miles depending on your use of nitrous.

the lfr6aix-11's are the same one step colder plugs only they are irridium. they are also great for nitrous (almost as good as copper), but last a lot longer then the copper plugs. they are also more expensive. get these imo.

I got mine from ptpmotorsports too.

Worked great for my NX kit. Now, I am using it to hook up a fuel pressure sensor on my Turbo kit,
