Hey guys,
Im looking to buy a set of Fuel rail covers and am going in almost completely blind.

What do i need to know/do? What needs modified? and all that stuff.

Thanks,
Brandon

What year is your car? You need to know how many fuel lines are running on the driver's side; 1 or 2. Mine is a 98 Camaro, so I have 2 fuel lines.

There are a number of places online you can look up and see what they offer. http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/fuel-rail-covers.html is a sponsor you could try checking out. It's a lot more simple buying a set that's already modified, since all FRC are made for Corvettes. The cheaper FRC would involve a lot of measuring and cutting to make them fit our engines. After that, cost just involves who much uniqueness you want to add to the covers. If you do a search on here for fuel rail covers or FRCs, you'll find a lot of designs out there.


This is my set.

^ that is the easiest route if you don't know what your doing. However it really isn't that bad cutting them and fitting them yourself and you can cut alot less then the pre-cut ones. Here are mine i cut, filled, and painted myself. Things to consider when you do them yourself tho.
Do you still have the Air emissions system (requires more cutting)
Other places to cut are around the throttle linkage and dipstick.

try to hack them up as least as possible. cut, test, cut, test, etc.

As mentioned above, removing the A.I.R. system is the easiest way.
I actually just cut out a hole & channel to go around my throttle cable / bracket as apposed to cutting off the entire end of the cover.



Here is an installed pic. As you can see, I run the main throttle cable above the cover & the cruise control cable underneath.

Must be nice not having to worry about the A.I.R. system being deleted when getting your car smog checked. This is no option for me around here.

all you need to do is know someone and you can pass the visual, just have your tuner delete the AIR and EGR system from your comp so a light doesn't come up. your lid would fail anyway so why not take the rest out?

Actually, my lid has passed the last 3 times out. none of the 3 different inspectors had a problem with it at all. But when we would start talking about mods I was planning, the THREE things I was told they would not be able to pass me for would be because of the visual would be (1) removing my A.I.R. system, (2) removing my EGR equipment, and (3) removing/relocating the cats from their stock locations.

that why i'm glad we have no visual inspection here for OBD2 cars..... they just plug them in and call it good....

We dont have any inspections at all

The engine is completely stock. its a 2000 Ws6. Modifying the covers is no problem and i plan on painting them myself also.

Do you think fuel rail covers would be able to be powdercoated?

Put a pair in the oven for a couple hours at 400 degrees & see if you can bake'em.
