Does anyone know, since I need to replace my fuel lines, if there is any difference between a typhoon's lines and those on a regular 2.8L jimmy? I found them in stainless, but they only list the 2.8L

Re: fuel lines
The rail is different. Even a Syclone rail is different from a Typhoon rail. JSManufacturing sells a fuel rail kit.

Re: fuel lines
A syclone mount toward the front of the motor (maybe 2/3 of the way up). Typhoon mount towards the rear. In doing a motor in Syclone, it is more likely to bend the fuel lines if your not careful. My is guess is probably worth all the warrenty engines GM figured this out pretty quickly and made the fic...

Re: fuel lines
I assume you're talking the fuel lines from the tank to the fuel rail, not the actual fuel rail on the intake, or frame rail that the fuel lines run along, correct? If so, I'd have to assume that the Jimmy 2.8 FI kit that inline tube sells (fuel and return) would get you from the tank to the firewall in great shape, then you'd have to finish off the install to the fuel rail with the OEM to - from rail stuff and maybe a couple compression fittings that would be hidden from sight above the bellhousing, as there isn't a full SyTy kit that I know of out there to go from the tank all the way to the rail. Having never done the replacement, I'm just guessing. As for the actual fuel rail, I have heard that they do differ. Jimmy Mann posted this a while back about noisy injectors, and pulled it from syty.org. There used to be a link for "Fuel Rail Adjustment" but it's gone now.

I'm 100% porked here, because one of my Ty's had a blown up motor in the back when I bought it, and included, was a slotted fuel rail. The intakes could have come from the Ty, or maybe a donor Sy. My other Ty also has a slotted rail, but it has 140k on the clock, and almost seems to run too strong and well to be the stock untouched motor; could have been another donor Sy, but haven't dug into it. Anyone else?Jimmy said:From syty.org
=======
The trucks normally have a loud pulse from the injectors, so this is normal. But if your truck is clearly making a ticking noise louder than usual, you may have to adjust the height of the fuel rail. Earilier model trucks will have a slotted design rail in which you will have to loosen the nuts holding the rail onto the manifold and slide the rail in an upwards motion, careful not to ground the injectors on the intake manifold. If your rail does not have slots, but pre-drilled holes, you will not have to adjust your fuel rail height and should diagnose the source of your injector tick further.

Sy's have the slots,Ty's don't.

Re: fuel lines
send the line to inline tube they will make them for you.

Re: fuel lines
There isn't very much left of my lines.... hence the need to replace them... about 1/3 of it was already rubber hose where it was leaking / brokewarmpancakes said:
