Do you guys use the stock fuel line when converting to an EJ20T suby or to a bigger one?

I have a high output electric fuel pump (rated for 500HP) and will try to hook it up soon.(my engine is an EJ20 TT)

I used 10mm ID from tank to pump and 8mm ID from pump to motor

I used 5/16" bundy tube for the efi supply and return rails. Got it cut to length from the local brake place and they even barbed the ends for me. The stock line I used for the vent line.
The surge tank to pump is somehting like 10-12mm flex hose.

Ok, thanks. The stock fuel line runs through the middle of the chassis, correct? (don't have the bug at my place to go check) and the fuel lines on the EJ20 are on the passenger side ?

Yeah, the stock lines runs through the middle. I put the new lines through the middle as well and ran them with the stock line. My ej20 lines are on the drivers side when the engine is in the back.
