please help

hate to be the bearer of bad news...but everything you have labeled as fuel line...are A/C lines...

Hahahahaha.

Those are all A/C lines. Leave them alone. And go get yourself a copy of the instructions.

these are your fuel lines bro...

edit: beaten to it

ahhh good thing i didnt unplug anything :)

also i do have the latest copy of the instrcutions from the BEGI site (these are from january 27 2008) but the instructions are very confusing and this is not the first time i am working on a car.


KPLAFIN thanks for pointing the fuel lines but the picture is too small and i could not see where are you pointing i am attachign a bigger picture of the area can you point them out again ? thanks

Also any pictures on where all the lines comming out of the regulator suppose to go ?

Look down at the front fender on the passenger side and you will see 2 metal lines coming up and changing to rubber lines. If you follow those lines you will see they actually go to the fuel rail. These are your fuel lines. If your installing a fuel pressure regulator you will want to be working with the line that comes off the back of the fuel rail.

you've got the right ones now....im not 100% sure on how to hook up the begi fuel pressure regulator (as far as which line goes where) so i cant be much help there...

Not to sound rude, but if you don't know the difference between a/c and fuel lines, maybe you should have someone else do it!

zoomzoom that is good advice but it is a little too late i have the whole thing open now :) and well i want to finish it

Here, the yellow FUEL LINE goes from the stock FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR on the back of the fuel rail into the BEGi AFPR.
The pink line goes from the BEGi AFPR into the fuel return hardline on the fender.

that pic is a lil confusing Sam since you have the yellow line going right to the brake booster vacuum line.

hey thanks samnavy i just have some more questions :)

oh come on folks please :)

You're kind of annoying for someone that wants help.
Yes the line with the plastic check valve just hangs there. No the gauge does not just sit there. No you do not connect your brake booster vacuum line to the fuel gauge. Pretty sure you install the FP gauge after the fuel rail.
All of this info is on the forum already a million times over.

Directions can be found in the BEGi-S Instructions here:

Shoot me an e-mail and I can send them to you.

WOW
that's all I can say

too bad understanding binary doesn't pay you enough to have someone who understands cars install your kit.

wow......and i was bummed that it took me 2 days. :naughty:sorry for adding salt to the wound.

oh my god.

WOW this is a rough forum :)

First off i could not find any directions on how to install the BEGI FPR any where the directions on the BEGI sight (sorry stephanie) do not show anything either. Miata is not my only car and i dont work on cars for living so excuse my noobism.

Also I do have a supercharged c5 z06 that i installed upgraded exhaust, headers, shocks, brakes all using instructions on the forums and never had a problem.

Stephanie i did call and spoke with some one else who explained the setup and i think i am good to go for now. You guys have the best tech support just not the best directions :) e.g to make your instrucitons noob proof dont just call something FPR put a picture of it next to its name so noob like me know what you are talking about and when showing engine bays of cars put some arrows to show what things users should be touching e.g the fuel lines point them out etc

Yeah Stephanie, GAH! Seriously. Not everybody knows what an FPR is. Gah!

whiney bastard. :jerkit:

SloS13 unless you have something usefull to say please shutup i am pretty sure you have a very busy schedule being a full time jerkoff and all

LOL, I like you. You may be incompetent, but at least you have attitude. :)

Are you in Gainesville FL or GA? G'ville GA is like 15 minutes from me.

Ben i am in the third gainesville :) the one in VA

[QUOTE=Latitude;243086]WOW this is a rough forum :)

.... IDK, maybe its just me but I got a laugh out of this line...

[QUOTE=Cody Strife;243239]which ne first line or the 2nd?

:)

Latitude, I remember when i switched from a 65 mini, with 4 wheel drums, su carb engine over the tranny and a distributor all the way to a subaru...
Man I was screwed trying to do anything...where is the dizzy to adjust timing, changing brake pads??? holy crap...I feel your pain...new toys aren't always plain and clear

Good luck on it..keep your skin thick with these guys. I am sure some of it is all in good fun.

This thread = lmfao the whole way through.

Steph, I think I see what the OP was whining about. At both of the two pages below, all of the images are missing:

However, to the OP: here is a copy that works: http://www.bellengineering.net/PDF/F...structions.pdf


Also, Latitude, a nickels' worth of free advice: newbs who come to the forum asking stupid questions (and you have to admit, mistaking the A/C lines for fuel lines and the A/C freon drier for a fuel pressure regulator was pretty dumb) then bitching and telling more senior members to shut up when they heckle you for it, do not tend to have a happy MiataTurbo.Net experience.

I had an excellent comeback but there are ladies in this thread (at least two), so I must resist...as much as it hurts me to.

oh now i undersatand why you call your self "SLO" S13 it only took you almost a day to come up with a good come back :)


any way here is what i was looking for and Tim at BEGI was kind enough to draw this up for me and now i understand why every body was so mad at me at not getting this :) this is very simple i think i was expecting it to be more complicated :)

Also the way i installed the afpr my IN is on the left hand side and out on the right hand side so all the pictures were confusing bec of the way i installed the afpr.

I'm just trying to think of the carnage that would have occurred had you attempted to tap into the "fuel pressure regulator" in your original concept. I bet gasoline doesn't flow through a compressor very well. :eek:

could have potentially been the best thread ever :giggle:

Definitely would've beat the s2000 with the nitrous line plumbed into the valve cover, lol.
