Fuel rails
Anybody know the diameter of the fuel cross over between the fuel rails. And why do all car compnies like barbed fittings
|
The size of the cross over is 1/4 fuel injection hose. As for question 2, I have no idea.
|
because they're cheap.
and yes, it's 1/4" |
Barbed fittings help keep the hose from coming loose from the fitting.
|
Tuff I know why they barbed but so cheap. I had just replaced my Alt and was running it to charge and saw gas dripping out the hose, so now I changed the hose all is good til I started thinking with everything else I have done are BBK fuel rails worth and while I'm at it what about injectors.
|
Have you had the car tuned and if so, did the tuner say anything about running out of fuel? Do you have a bigger pump in the tank or bigger injectors? I know the stock rails will start to starve the motor but I don't know at what size injector.
I have the Professional Procucts blue anodized with 5/8 center. I put this on just because I thought it looked cool. R3d don't like these because of the hold downs have to be bent just a little to get a good tight seal. You need some additional fittings to make the connection to the fuel line, but I think it was worth it. |
Yes it was tuned after cams and intake my tuner said fuel was good but did say next he do a better fuel pump. I also was thinking of the fuel rails for cosmetics and function as winter is coming I get more work done so I was trying some smaller budget things. Cams and intake last year hurt the bank.

Yeah, I think its a good choice. Oh yeah, you don;t extra fittings like I said before, I got some extra fittings because I did'nt like the way it connected with the braided stuff I had before.
Look into a pump and fuel rails for the winter mods.Sounds like a plan. How are those SLP headers holding up? |
I like CPR and aeromotive rails. Nothing even approaches the happy I got from them fitting right. It made the installation a lot simpler. I had to do a lot of mucking around with the pro-prod. BBK usually means broken bend or kinked. Their fuel rails should be fine though. They use a screw on mounting bracket, not a hold over clamp like the pro-prod. Yeah, I don't like them just for that. They're otherwise just fine and if you can deal with the brackets, more power to ya. I think aeromotive are the easiest to deal with in the end.

Thanks guys the SLP HEADERS are major loud fitted out with high flow cats and lm1's not a scrap mark on them color is still good the cats hang a bit low but its not a DD so all should be ok. If anybody goes the slp direction get use to changing speeds running a constant 50 or whatever mph they will drive you fu*kin nuts with noise but every shift delivers a great snap crackl pop that got even better with cams.
