Fuel Rail?

thanks! im off base then....so the rails and cross over never see more pressure than regulator/ecu allows and that is beyond what id approach anyway... ?

i was thinking since it was on the return side ?? it caused more backup pressure than being on feed side allowing more flow through volume.... dam vs tap..... is that right?


considering it was a closed loop system, i assumed increased volume that much larger pump would deliver through the same fixed space would increase pressure in the whole system and that the regulator just controlled volume/pressure as required by the injectors via the ecu...and that was where the actual point of reference occurred for regulation...the orifice of the injector telling the ecu what it wanted for said volume via the table...

what i now understand is that unless the rails suc k and are faulty there is no issue..... ill go with what i have then...

im actually getting a really good deal on a new aeromotive 320...

* sorry mad, i thought you had said something about your sn95 rail crossover...

for a hundred or two dollars in parts, think ill go with piece of mind.....

so aeromotive, bbk, trickflow, edelbrock, others? whose rail is best option?

im thinking using braded fuel lines from/to the source / return lines - maybe russell?

i dont like the rubber tubing bbk uses but it is the least expensive... the accell and mallory have the return coming from the middle of the rail??

thanks for the help!

I prefer Glenn's or Behind Bars Race Cars fuel rails personally. Don't get a rail that has the return in the middle of one of the rails. That's a poor design, IMO.

Thanks Scott, ill look those up... thanks for confirming the accell/mallory is just off somehow....

I have the Russell braided lines and Professional Products fuel rails and fuel pressure guage. Very happy with the Russell lines. The rails not so much. It took a few modifications to get them to fit right, and a couple of tries to get them to stop leaking. Mainly there was zero customer service. I tried contacting PPI a couple of times with questions and never got a response. Everything works fine now though. I just was on my own figuring it out.

Thanks Spaz! so no to PPI products, but Russell is a good plan if braided not part of 'kit'

********
others???

nice sites @RacEoHolic330 ! not cheap but really nice, are you running their braded nylon supply lines or did you run stainless or stock?

got a feeling my budget just expanded....

cool, just planning for the inevitable darn that looks bad scenario....

'while we're at' - norm abrams

this techAFX ?

BlackWrap Braided SS PTFE Hose (conductive core)

-6, -8, -10 what size?

gotta assume its the fittings that run up the cost...

this may address my increased volume via aeromotive 320, better rails, adjustable fp gauge (for tune...)
all overkill but a long term do it once strategy....

you are correct regulator...

thank you, i was guessing around 600... so no need unless lines are shot....ok
