RobAce Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 well any one i have talked to in the last few weeks will know that i am trying to go single . sounds easy yes, just wip out the two old ones and put a big one back in, HA, it is turning into a right pig, at the monent in am trying to get my head around adapting the fuel rail, all the drilling and tapping and all the new bits of pipe i will need, makes my brain hurt. i know it will all be worth it eventually but at the moment i almost wish i had not started :thumbdown. i real miss driving her and seeing the engine bay in bits is nasty. well thats it just to recap if you want to go single get lots of money and ask someone else to do it.

Jake Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I'm not planning on changing the fuel rail at all if/when I go single. Why do you need this, Rob? Are you going for a massive single? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Seems like a lot of hassle for something that may not be necessary. I'm think I read Ian and CW saying it was not required until huge power levels. I'll see if I can find the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 ... sounds easy yes, just wip out the two old ones and put a big one back in, HA, it is turning into a right pig, .... You didn't really expect it to be a straight swap, did you? You're cursing about some basic initial plumbing, wait till you get into mapping, lol...

Ian C Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 People run T67's with the entire fuel system stock, barring the injectors and the fuel pump... Others have only modified the stock rail in order to be able to fit an adjustable FPR. -Ian PS Jake, didn't spot your comment in this thread re the avatar until I'd commented in the hulk hogan thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Yep - I've just fitted an aeromotive and had to get the rail tapped to take a new fitting where the stock FPR went...but other than that it's bone stock - running 650cc injectors and a walbro pump. But before that I was running a T61 with stock rail and FPR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Vortex were supplying the rail adaptors but had run out so I got an NPT-6AN 90deg adaptor you can see in my pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 what about lines etc and connectors for the fpr itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Will this help? cheers alex, thats exactly what i was after. i really needed to know which way the 90 pointed etc. i tapped mine out to a 9/16"unf which is the standard 6an thread. ive got more of an idea of how things are going now lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I'd point it towards the bulkhead if I could....but if I do that it will either be loose or shatter the rail....so I'm stuck with it pointing at the TB...it could do with being tighter but it fouls the throttle on the VVTi if I do it up anymore. A swivel headed 90deg would be better still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Wayne - give thinkauto.com a bell and they should advise you what to get...don't have the part numbers to hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
