DIY Dual Feed Rail Fittings
2 Attachment(s)
If anyone is interested, I did the DIY dual feed modification to the stock fuel rail a little different than most using AN fittings and stainless hard line. I figure one just wants a kit of sorts, this might help. Like all my other post, if you are interested just let me know. I should get some pictures uploaded shortly. Not sure on price yet, but it shouldn't be too bad.
The kit would include: NPT to AN adapter Stainless hard line with AN Nut Required fuel line and tee Hopefully this weekend I will get some pictures up so that it makes a bit more sense. The two pics below dont have the stainless hard line, just the adapter. -Michael- |
looks pretty good. If it's pretty reasonable I might have to pick one up as I'm headed for boosted land and would rather have what I can done to protect before rather than later.
Fuel rail painted gold looks pretty serious, might have to do that when I take mine out. |
If only you posted two weeks ago before I used a barb fitting to make mine. :( Glad to see someone offering a kit now though.
|
Sorry man, I wish I would have thought about it sooner myself. Hopefully it will still benefit some. Did you ever get your fitting situation to work out?
-Michael- |
Im sure this will help plenty, the whole time I was making mine I kept thinking how I would love the piece of mind of stainless lines. I do still have an extra rail.. Hm.. Maby if the price is right I will convert my spare using SS braided.
A member on here offered me that oil feed fitting for ten bucks, i think ill just buy that. |
Well, it won't be using stainless braid, or at least I hadn't intended too. This will utilize stainless hard line, like my water line kits use. Glad you got fitting problem cleared up.
-Michael- |
Oh so would it still use rubber line? I was thinking it would be like FMs new fuel rail setup, with braided lines.
|
Yea, it would use rubber fuel line to connect the hard line to the tee. I haven't seen FM's new stuff. Hopefully I can get a pic up soon.

I'm definately interested, I was planning on doing this mod this weekend but can wait if there's a decent 'kit' available.

that looks killerrr....id take one in semi flat black. Im going for an all black theme underhood.
|
Well, this would just be the fittings and hose required, and you would alter the stock rail yourself. I just showed my rail to give you an idea of how it looks.

So its just the fitting that you need to screw into the drilled and tapped rail and what hard line? I'm probably just confused but please clarify. Or a pic would be enough lol.
I can't imagine it costing much if its just a fitting and line...? What size is the NPT to AN fitting and what diameter is the hard line? -Ryan |
Looks good!
|
The kit would include:
1/8" NPT to -6 AN adapter 3/8" Stainless hard line with -6 AN Nut Required fuel line and tee Like I said earlier it shouldn't be very expensive, but it will be more than just a 1/8 NPT to 5/16 barb which is what is generally used. I think once I get a pic of the whole thing, you will understand a lot better. Thanks Tim! -Michael- |
I'd probably be interested... I guess it will work on the 1.6 and the 94-97 1.8?

Here are a few pictures of the Dual Feed kit as it will be on my car.

Looks good to me, might get that bundle from you along with that restrictor we talked about. Have to let you know later though. Clean install though.
|
Damn clean engine. Nice!
|
very clean man...very clean. :)
|
I think these are going to go for around $30. There are certainly some options and such and I need someone who has there EGR to test and make sure it fits good. I'm sure it will, but I want to be sure. Let me know if you are interested.
-Michael- |
so the only other thing we'd need is a drill bit and a tap to thread the hole, correct? What size hole would it be?
|
That is correct, all you will be required to do is drill and tap the end of the rail. If there is enough interest, I may be able to provide the drill and tap for a small fee. The hole size is 1/8 NPT.

1/8" NPT tap and 11/64 (I think) bit are easily sourced from any decent hardware store, if you want one of your very own. One of the most useful things I've got in my toolbox is a complete metric/standard tap and die set.
|
Any eta on when this will be available. I've got my fuel rail off and want to get started on it.
|
I am going by my supplier today to get all the parts to finish my car. Let me know if anyone wants one this week and I can get it made. I will have to know here pretty shortly if you want it shipped this week.
-Michael- |
I would love a set of these.
|
wasn't someone going to sell the DIY kit?
|
Hey guys, sorry I haven't been able to be reached lately. Both of my grandfathers are very sick and im working alot of hours right now and haven't had any time to do anything. If things get cleared up soon I will let you know, but right now I just don't have time to get all the pieces gathered up.
