i am finally at the point where the beast needs more power (racing only on the big 315s now) and so i am going to finally going to have matt @ Slickmotorsports put in my FIC 1100s i got from Maperformance and the badass progressive controlled Blaqops double pumper and make the switch to e85 for the remainder of the season. I am however wanting to change to a aftermarket rail to aid in running a aftermarket fuel pressure regulator and wanted to see what everyone is doing. As usual Clipse3gt will be doing my tuning so if anyone has any baselines for the 1100s to get me going that would be awesome let me or him know!

I honestly wouldn't change the stock rail. Get the FPR kit from MAP, you can keep the stock rail with that.

Every aftermarket stock rail I have seen has had issues and the stock one can flow more than enough fuel.

 

roger that i think i already have the adapter needed to run a fpr

 

You are still on the stock turbo right?

I didn't have any issues on an FPred/cams/E85 and fuel flow so if you are still on the stocker you will never have a flow problem If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

 

yep stocker

 

You don't need an afpr with a BlaqOPs kit. An afpr is needed when you're giving the car too much fuel at idle for the stock regulator to handle. That'll occur if you have two Walbros or a big inline (Bosch or larger) at full voltage at idle but the BlaqOPs kits only run one pump at idle.

If you want to get a fuel pressure gauge into your setup then I highly recommend the Boomba rail. It's really inexpensive for the quality and it uses stock quick disconnect fittings. You can just screw your gauge right into the rail. The caveat is that it doesn't include bolt holes for the fuel return line so you end up having to improvise on that. I haven't seen any evidence that rails are ever needed, other than the stock one being ugly.

 

Stock Fuel rail, stock FPR. Upgrade the rail if you are right on the edge of needing more out of your fuel system, otherwise KISS!

 

KISS? Keep it stock son?

 

keep it simple stupid!!

 

LOL, damn it!

 

Murlo you're wrong and right Sometimes keeping it stock is the simplest and best solution!

While we're at it, why even bother with twin pumps? Try a boost-a-pump, you might like it Want me to really blow your mind? Put it on a stock fuel pump! I'd be willing to bet that this +DW1000's (or 1300's) would be enough of a fuel system for 90% of evoX's, even the ones on E85.
