Wet Shot Question

Post by dirtracr95 »

I know how to plumb and wire everything else. I just have no idea what i should use as the source for the fuel solenoid. The only options i could think of would be the schrader valve on the fuel rail, or an AN T fitting where the fuel line goes into the fuel rail.

Can anyone help me out?

I installed a Zex wet kit this weekend. It came with a schrader hook up. Made things quick, easy and pretty clean overall. They probably sell their fitting pretty cheap.

Don't even need it. Outside threads on a schrader valve are std -4 AN Male. Take the center valve out of the fitting like a tire stem and hook up the supply line (which is also a -4 AN in most kits I've seen).

BTW.. I'm refering to the Automotive -4 AN with 45 degree shoulders on the flare...not the Aviation/Mil-Spec -4 AN which is 37 degree shoulder and a different thread profile. Not a big deal, as most everything advertised for automotive use is by default the 45 degree variety. If you go to a supplier of fittings, they will usually ask the application.

yea the kit i got was incomplete so i had to order the lines from the fuel and nitrous solenoids to the nozzle and the line from the schrader valve to the fuel solenoid. I almost have everything done just got to tap the TB for the nozzle. no parts or hardware stores had the 1/16 NPT tap so i had to go to fastnal. I should have looked on ebay first before i ordered one from fastnal. $34 from fastnal and $4 on ebay.
