Fuel Rails Installed...does anything every go on easy? many different issues with this mod and that is another thread. Had to weld the Aeromotive AN-8 fittings to the Nasty Fuel Rails, to even get started. All
AN-8, dual feed in the back and crossover in the front. was going to re-powdercoat the rails, but had to get my dd ready by Monday. Spent 3/4 tank of gas figuring out why the last two injectors kept popping out. solved it. Any hoo, pictures below....
pretty sure I will NEVER be finished now.

Aeromotive, because they are red?? I wanted black and picked the Nasty rails up for 75.00 and pretty sure the Aeromotives were 3x that.
The next down time I have, I will get them anodized black again and they will look great. I had them painted black until about a half a tank a fuel sprayed under the hood of the car and pressured washed the intake and rails with fuel

my fab guy said he will make 5 of them. Just ironing out the details.
going to leave naked. considering the Katech valve cover, coil relocation package.
going to make a cover for the left side to hide all the black box and wired and that way it will match the airbox.

fuel rail upgrade I'm thinking about running E85, which would require 62 lb injectors to supply the 30% increase required by that type of fuel. Do you think larger fuel rails are also necessary? How about something called an "inline fuel regulator?" Stuff I've never heard of, just seeing if someone else knows more than me (which isn't very hard!). Nice pics, I do like the new rails.

Well, I do know our system is regulated at the tank or pump. not 100% sure exact which one, but our car's do have a returnless system. I purchased a FPR, but did not need it.
IMHO, the the bigger rails, an-8 lines allow more fuel to be available to the injectors. With dual feeding the rail, I was aiming at having equal fuel available to all injectors. some say the #1 I think it was, was technically the leanest. I could be wrong on the cylinder. Either way it might not add horsepower, but just another piece to the air breathing, fuel burning puzzle.
I am installing a 390lph pump, too. Next set of mods in this order would be Polluter Cam from Tick, Trick Flow as cast and a 100 shot. That might hold me over.
As far as Dyno numbers, not sure. Probably not going to dyno until I get the cam in at least. trapped over 112 in the 1/4, so that is what I have to go by for now.

WhatW Thanks for your response. What is the 390 Pump? Is that the same as the Racetronix in tank unit that I just purchased? I know there is a Kyosan that was originally used on the Toyota Supra Twin Turbo and these are still readily available from Summit and other shops. I don't think they come with the nice heavy duty harness that Racetronic provides, though. How much do larger fuel rails cost, if you don't mind my asking.
