I HATE those fricken red and blue ones. I have one left on the intake mani for the vac line to the brake booster and I painted that one. They drive me insane. I am so far liking the black nylon braided ones. More flexible, easier to assemble, and cheaper too I believe.

NoDOHC, how about beating Mazda to the punch with their injector setup on the 16x instead?

Ahhhh, direct injection. That's the first thing I thought of when he mentioned his new placement for the injectors. but then the rechroming machining etc etc involved would really suck so I guess the next best thing would be the plates. I think it'll be difficult but doable non-the-less. Then again anything is with enough $$$$ tossed at it. Like a 40B for example

How is it working out? I thought about using that too (for it's sleeper-ness), but I don't have any info on how it would hold up compared to SS braided lines to pressure and temperature.

I love em. Using them for fuel, coolant, and oil. No complaints whatsoever thus far. The fittings themselves though, I bought the Jegs ones, and have had to replace one already, and one is starting to piss me off.... the one on top of the fuel filter too so it's always getting undone. The retaining wire gets hung-up making it very difficult to thread it on by hand.

I took a pic of it, lemme find it....

That is sexy. I agree, if you're looking at 300* temps, there are other things to be worried about. Under the hood shouldn't get that hot either.
