Hey, so a couple pages this picture was quote numerous times saying "that's going to break one day" or such. My question is, I wanted to do a somewhat similiar setup, but without the fuel pressure gauge or as many fittings. Basically it'd be:
The metric to AN adapter --> -6an Hose End (45 degree) --> Inline Filter --> -6AN Hose End --> Braided "Soft Line" --> Back to the OEM hardline.
Is that still a dangerous setup because of the filter being connected directly to the rail?

Nah there is a coupe that is basically the same as our EX (EJ1!) trim... d16z(d16z6) and all. Dunno how it was labeled there though. That tag above is actually the first one I've seena pic of that says d16a on it...

Mine has been fine for over a year now, but I am going to make some sort of bracket to support it sooner than later. Its not the weight so much but that the filter creates a pretty decent lever arm against the fittings in the 90* adapter. It doesn't really move, but it is subject to a lot of vibration and aluminum has kind of a shitty fatigue life so isolating and/or damping is always a good idea.

It's simply acting like a drain..Hold it higher than the source or simply stick a bolt in it with a clamp while working with it.

My Semi Tucked Bay:
Removed PS and CC. Tucked some wires. Still a lot to do, and still messy

Relocated that alarm siren, run the fuel filter-to-rail line under the intake arm, and relocated the valve cover ground wire to the rear.

Valve cover ground is gone already, so is alarm siren...the fuel line was too short to go under the intake...Decided to just wait to do fuel lines when doing the brake lines.

the valve cover ground is incorrect. Those grounds are supposed to ground the cylinder head, and the valve cover, not just the valve cover.
