Guest Anonymous Posted January 27, 2001 Share Posted January 27, 2001 Anyone know of a good place to get bare fuel rail stock? I figure if I gotta have 1/2 inch fuel hose, might as well make a decent rail and eliminate all the hose clamp connections possible, right? ------------------ Morgan http://z31.com/~morgan/s30 http://carfiche.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy 77zt Posted January 27, 2001 Share Posted January 27, 2001 i would first try summit at 800 # since its free.next try kinsler injection or twm induction.kinsler is like a supply house to race teams .you know-people that know what they want or what they are building.not people with $30 worth of tools and big dreams.i had one of thier catalogs and lost it but it was very informative.twm has lots of trick stuff -like throttle bodys that bolt to weber manifolds so you could build a 6 throttle fi system.if you are really a cheapo like me you could just copy the rail on sds website and powder coat it.

TimZ Posted January 27, 2001 Share Posted January 27, 2001 AEM used to carry it, too. Haven't talked with them in a while, but I would imagine that they still do. I'm not sure what you have for injectors, but if it's at all possible, I'd recommend switching to o-ring style injectors (if you don't have them already). They are much, much easier to work with than the hose barb style. I have both my manifold and fuel rail setup to use o-ring injectors, and I can r&r them in about 5 minutes. I was talking with James (240Z turbo) recently, and he mentioned having found suitably sized oem injectors that used the stock Z mounting config at the manifold, and had o-rings at the fuel rail. Don't remember the specifics - maybe he will chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 does anyone have a set of plans or directions that i could follow to make my own fuel rail??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Making a fuel rail is simple. Get 2 foot of the stock evan was talking about. Now mark where you need to drill holes for the injector barbs. Drill and tap them (1/4 npt)(drill press makes it a lot easier), then drill and tap the end for 3/8ths(i used an-6 fuel/return line).

Guest Anonymous Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 The fuel pressure regulator has to be relocated to the firewall or anywhere that you can think of to bolt it down as long as you can get vacuum and fuel line to it. I have my stock regulator temporarily mounted to one of the valve cover bolts on the passenger side of the engine. When I decide to mess with it, I will mount an aftermarket unit to the firewall. There are also units available that screw into the rail itself and hang off the "exit" end of the rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 I hate to sound like a sales man , but I have a fuel rail with turbo injectors on it for sale. It looks about the same as Z ferrari's rail but with barbs on the ends so you can use rubber hose. Email me off list if you are interested.

Kennysgreen280zt Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Just to let everyone know it took me a month and about 4 phone calls to get my rail stock from AZ speed and marine. If you have a more reliable sorce I would use it. ~Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Thanks Scottie! I got home at 4:50 (early) from work today ready to give Electromotive TEC a call, then I realized they were on the east coast !! D'oh! Well, its $4/foor cheaper at azspeed, but if Kenny had trouble I might have better luck paying 16 for the electromotive kind. I bought a tap/die set on ebay for $20 shipped, can't wait for it to get here... I haven't tapped or done AN fittings before so this may be a trying experience , does anyone know where to get brass injector fittings for the rail? -980mak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I got my fittings for the injectors at the HOme depot they are like a buck fifty a piece. The trick to tapping is keeping the tap straight and also drilling the correct size whole for the tap. not really a big deal. take your time though. that will make things better. GOOD LUCK!!! ~Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
