diy dual feed fuel rail confusion
hey I was looking at brianeack's diy dual feed fuel rail write up, and I'm in need of a little clearification. with everything installed in the car, and if you're face to face with the front of your car, am I drilling and tapping the 'front' or the 'rear' of the fuel rail? the picture make it out to be the rear, but isn't it getting fed by the pressure regulator? or is it being fed at the front and then going through the pressure regulator. if that's the case and it looks like it is, I think I've had the wrong impression/ideas about the vortech afpr/stock fpr setup.:td: thanks for any and all help, if anyone has some more pictures, maybe of their diy rail installed in their car, that'd be great. :bigtu:
P.S. yes I searched, didn't seem to find what I needed. |
do it just like brain has it pictured.the

Just did that mod last week. It's just like it's pictured.

Fuel enters in the front, the FPR is the fuel return.
You want to add your barb in the rear of the rail. Or get jiggy and add a barb at each injector. |

I was talking about what Ben said about putting a barb to each injector...on a stock fuel rail i was wondering if anyone has done THAT. not tap just the one end.
|
easy for you to say on the internet.
|
yes, that has been done as well.
|
The thread has NOT been answered. Have you seen someone tap the stock rail behind each injector and install a hose barb?

Technically the thread was answered; Ben answered my question/curiosity about the fuel pressure regulator feeding the rail or the tank.

i'd really rather just be banned from this site...as much as it has helped me out, seems like some people just don't get along.
apparently people can't ask questions anymore without being attacked. |

I guess I didn't have a lot of knowledge about FMUs. I was alwasy curious as to why the fuel tank was pressurized (opening the cap lets out the pressure) all makes sense now though.
I checked out a 1/8NPT tap and sharpened 11/32 HSS drill from the tool crib at work, and will hopefully be drill/tapping this weekend. |
