TU or FWD 2 piece fuel rail

[roachjuice]

Ok I need a fuel rail for a 2 piece and noticed they sell some billet ones. Anyone have any feedback on these two rails? Differences? Issues? I'm gonna be using a universal regulator.

Motorhead135, Just put up a post a few days ago. He is building some at work, Iam sure he can make it without the port for the reg. He is a cnc guy that does some very nice work.

Adam Lengel also had made some billet fuel rails for 2 piece. Not sure if he is still doing them or has any available. IIRC, Holes were tapped for mounts,
but it was up to end user to make up mounts though. His used external regulator with #-10 oring fitting on end. They were very nice.

he did indicate to me he could do this (ie no reg port)

I'm using one on my 2 piece not sure which vendor it came from. the one thing I have to say is that the stock injector clips at the top cant be used and the injectors can "float" in the upper and lower bores. you can position them but since there's nothing to hold them in place they are free to migrate in either direction. The ends of the rails on mine are standard pipe thread if I were to buy another I'd like to have the straight AN thread with an o-ring.

Single bolt rail bracket attachments have a history of failures. Our rail brackets use both intake manifold bolts per side to enhance stability and avoid failures at stress points. Brackets can be adjusted forward to eliminate injector "floating". Our rail ends are machined for -6AN o-ringed fittings so leaks are not an issue. Fittings are available for $5. additional each. These are universal rails which are designed to be used on both 8 (two piece) and 16-valve engines by just swapping the brackets.

Comes with Stainless Steel mounting hardware for $105. We currently have 38 in stock.

Fuel Pressure regulator adapter available for an additional $35. http://turbosunleashed.com/shop/fuel...ter-p-307.html

Chris,
Do you happen to have a picture of one installed on a car with a universal style regulator?

I had that issue with the hybrid build that I was messing with. Nothing to hold the injectors in but the rail itself

Considering im still waiting for the FWD one I ordered and paid for back in Oct and was told 3-4 weeks.Id go with TU or the new one that gentlemen is making.

Just an FYI, our 2 pc fuel rails arrived over Christmas and all back orders will be going out next week.

There really isn't a need for injectors clips because once the rail is bolted down, there is no way for the injectors to come out.

Here ya go! The second photo shows the gen 1 polished Stainless Steel brackets. We now include the stronger versions which allow the rail to sit in the "V" shape for added support.
