Default braided line questions

Hey guys i decided to post this here in the FI sections since you guys are the ones playing with these braided lines all the time.

I just got a B series swaped in and I wanted to buy sonme braided hoses to improve the look of the engne bay a bit more. I have a friend who just got a b16 and luckily came with braided lines all over.. looks so sweet. I kinda wanna see how much it is to do one at the time. but where can i find the sizes and what the price range for thee things?

depends on what you want exactly

for the radiator hoses etc i would check summit (you do realize how expensive stainless lines are right?)

for catch can etc i would contact b&r fittings, they are a sponsor on this site and could probably help you with all your stainless lines

my 6an fuel line cost over $100 (without the gauge, and not including the $40 in fittings that ended up bering faulty)
my 4an turbo feed line was like $50
and my 10an turbo return was another $50


as you can see in the picture, it really didn't clean up my engine bay that much....good luck with trying to fully convert to stainless lines....it should cost a pretty penny when you are done.

Earls Fittings and Russell Fittings are the shiznit.

to be honest, I got most of my lines and fittings from Amazon, all Earls, and I made the lines myself. I think I spent over $250 on lines and fittings that barely made anything noticable in my engine bay.

Here's my $50 return line


now I wish I bought a barb fitting and used nylon hose with heatwrap...could have saved a good $40.

Sorry if it sounds like im pissing on your stainless parade, but I just feel that most of what I bought was useless and an excessive waste.

Check out B&R on this site. He probably has everything you need. He ships real fast also. I bought a lot of stuff from him.
