What Fuel Rail to use with the Full Blown TB

Hey EvoM,

As my luck would have it, this thing doesn't fit for ****.

TB is too wide. Hits fuel rail fitting.

What fuel rails have you guys used with success? They made this this thing stupid wide.

Get an angled AN fitting for your rail.

Does it hit the threaded part of the AN fitting when you turn the valve? If not, a 30* or 45* fitting should get the hose out of the way but it looks like a tight fit regardless.

Yeahp, it does hit when you turn the valve. It's an extremely tight fit. And you're right, I don't think an angled AN fitting will fix it.

You don't think one of these will work or even a 120 deg one ?

I'm surely going to try it, but I think when the throttle is all of the way open it will still hit the male end of the fitting.

I know this isn't the question you asked..

But are you at the level where an upgraded fuel feed is needed? If not, go back to the stock line. I've made over 600 on stock rail and lines. Food for thought

I was preparing for a big turbo and ran out of money .

However, I already cut, put a fitting on, and re-flared the hard line in the bay, so going back to a stock line would be far too much work.

I'd say try the 120deg fitting first. It will bend the line so that it also comes from the bottom and looks better. I re-did my fuel lines and did the same thing the reason i know.

Hopefully it works for you so its not a big hassle.

Like this one but you'll have to find the black one.

I will. I'll update with what works. I suppose the entry for an aftermarket fuel rail will be the same as the stocker.
