Default Re: Ultimate fuel rail

The Ultimate Fuel Rail is done!

It works great! No leaks, pressure tested at 100 psi. I have a few hundred miles and many dyno pulls on it. Here are some pics.

New center 8AN inlet.

Passenger-side 8AN outlet, 90, and reduction to 6AN line to AFPR.

Driver's side 8AN outlet, 90, and reduction to 6AN line to AFPR.

But wait a minute... an 8AN fitting WILL NOT FIT on the driver's side end of the rail, right?

What is going on there?

The 8AN 90* elbow coming off the welded fitting did in fact hit the air injection valve. But I said I would find a way to make it work didn't I? So I cut the air injection valve in half. I found that a 1/2" aluminum pipe was a surprisingly perfect fit inside the outlet of the valve. I brazed a section of the aluminum pipe to the halves of the valve with some low-temp aluminum rod and a MAPP gas torch, thus extending the valve forward and out of the way. Everything fits great now. No codes, no leaks.
