JSK Rail Help PLEASE...

I have a few questions that I hope someone could help me with. I just installed a JSK fuel rail and there are a few things I forgot to ask before. The image with the BLUE ARROW used to go to the OEM fuel rail. Do I plug this hole or bypass this? I know it has a electrical connection. If not where do I run the line from there? Next the image with the RED ARROW uesd to run to my old fuel pressure regualtor. do I run that line to the third barb on my adjustable fuel pressure regulator? YELLOW ARROW...Sorry for so many questions but I wanna do it right...

First off.....

Use real EFI hose clamps and actual EFI hose. (big difference between actual EFI hose and what can hold the pressure)

The green thing is your cold start valve, no real point in it as your car is EFI and it doesn't injector nearly enough fuel to noticeably help. Just leave it unplugged or delete it completely.

You can run your FPR vacuum based using that vacuum port, but it looks like a chinese FPR and will probably fail in a few months if not already.

Blue is your cold start valve, if you want it to work you''ll have to run a tee to it. you are correct about red and yellow run some vacuum line to them.

Also remember that the FPR goes on the return side of the fuel rail..

Thanks

Thanks for all the help. I am eventually going to change everything to steel braid. Just bought regular auto parts store fuel line to get it running for now. I will have a friend mill me a plate to cover up that cold start valve...

I have an aftermarket fuel rail myself. And I still hooked up the cold start valve to it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. lol And I have been using fuel hose from the auto store, and I haven't had any problems with it. And it has been many months. Plus I just recently replaced all my fuel injectors with Beck/Arnley's. Which are the best out there for our Z cars.

Lol yea I pulled mine off but I'll be wrapping the manifold, heat shielding the turbo and wrapping the downpipe and insulating the heat shield as well. Even stock though I don't have any problems but it's not super hot here right now either

Funny story.... so I go to check out this 280ZX turbo.... go look at it and it sure looks like an NA to me. Ask the guy where the turbo is and he points to the injector cooler fan......
