milesz Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I have a 83 280zx turbo and have a JSK fuel rail and not sure what the proper installation is. Any advice and pictures will be helpful. I searched the site but did not find what I am looking for. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobythevan Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Do you have any of the install parts with it? I remember using two blocks that go over the top and then two long bolts on each block that go back down into the intake to hold it on. It worked fine for me but was a little awkward on the mounting.

CarJway Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 A picture below... I remember the fuel rail coming with those brass hollow tubes, and long allen head screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 which rail do you actually have? I've got the JSK rail that has the barbed fittings so you can use stock injectors. this picture from before the turbo installation is unfortunately the best I can offer...

Forrest Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 This is why I buy my rails from Pete. His mounts are freaking awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmark06 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Carjway, were you able to fit your injector electical connections on with the injectors cocked sideways like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarJway Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I had to work the injector clips so much to get a nice fit. There was no other way to get those injectors on there with clips; I had to hack up my injector clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey can you take a closer pixture for me on the pressure regluator and the routing of it? Sorry to high jack the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I made my own mounts that tie into the 10mm valve cover bolts, strong, simple and cost about $1.00 and took 10minutes...I will post some pics later tonight.

veritech-z Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hey can you take a closer pixture for me on the pressure regluator and the routing of it? Sorry to high jack the thread I won't be able to do that for quite a while unfortunately. In addition to having an intercooler sitting right on top of the part in question, I'm storing the car in another city while I'm getting my master's degree, but christmas break is coming up in a few weeks so i could probably do it then if a verbal description won't do. Basically, i've got a Y-junction on the feed line so that the fuel enters the rail from both sides. The line to the regulator leaves from roughly the middle. The thought process on this was to ensure a stable supply of fuel to both the front and rear three injectors. It runs pretty well like this, but I don't have any instrumentation to tell me whether it works better or worse than running it the traditional way. I do have a fuel pressure gauge mounted on the rail, and it reads 45psi when the pump is turned on (however, this mounting strategy places it under the hood-difficult to read when under load). Almost any question pertaining to my motivations for doing things any particular way on this car can be answered with "why not?" or "seemed like a good idea at the time..." Which I'm sure is disappointing to the people on the board who take their engineering seriously (and rightly so). the best I can do on short notice: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
