SimonB Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Ok, let's say I want to use an Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator with the stock fuel rail, injectors etc. What fittings would I need? I presume some sort of fitting to go in the fuel rail where the stock regulator is and some sort of fitting to connect it back up to the drain back to the tank. What exactly would I need, where could I get it from and can it in fact it be done easily on a stock rail without taking it off and welding stuff?

Justin Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Does it not come as a kit? My FSE came with the adapter to fit where the stock pressure regulator was fitted (bolt on) Then just fuel hose and connectors to hook up to the existing fuel lines.

Guest Terry S Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 right we are having adaptors machined for the stock rail, or we do a rail on an exchange basis with a -6 return line and braided hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've opted for the bolt in fittings on my car. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH cheers matt, just been speaking to mig about this:thumbs: . so you're still running the stock fuel rail with your single? what bhp can the stock rail support? any thoughts on dual feed on the stock rail or is it overkill?

We do twin entry stock rails. I had one on the purple car originally that handled 690 bhp (genuine engine dyno BHP) without a problem.

So all you need for the simplest setup is one of these adaptors that will bolt in where the stock one goes, and a couple of bits of fuel hose and connectors. No drilling, tapping or welding needed. Have I got that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyefi Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 maybe toyota r better engineers than the folk who had leaks i think they had problems getting a good thread for the length of the fitting, i cant remember exactly. it could b nasty spilling fuel @50psi on a hot engine. u could always sue toyota if it was their rail, but if it was my own work i'd b bummed. im not saying it cant b done, it's just if i did it i'd weld them mofo's on so i knew for sure there would b no issue. i just wondered if there was a reason not to weld em? lee, i dont at hand. try a search for "fuel rail" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 well, all after market rails are female threaded, the stock rail is female threaded. Seems very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
