fuel rail swap

So I know Boe's been porting fuel rail, and I guess RRM has plans to adopt his tooling and start fabbing their own.

Anyone know if there's another FR that will fit our Lancers that has a larger inner diameter? What about the Evo rail? Something from a Honduh perhaps?

i dunno, but a fuel rail seems to me is one of those things that has to be nuts on accurate to make it work right (injectors line up with manifold, etc). there can't be any fudging it

if your interested in boring out your own, i got a stock fuel rail just sitting here from my upgrade

I've got a spare from my spare engine, but I haven't had any luck finding a place that has tooling long enough to bore the whole thing.

I've seen instructions on making your own, but haven't wanted to tackle it, in the hopes that there's something that's already made.

I know that you are looking for a cheap alternative but I think someone is selling one of the bored out rails for 90. Check the classifieds if that isn't too much.

I explored the options of getting a bigger fuel rail for my Mirage when I was going turbo. However, I found out that fuel delivery will be the least of your problems. The stock rail is capable of supporting 400 whp and most of us wont see that much. Like most said, such a delicate job too.
