I am going to replace the OEM fuel rails with billet aluminum rails and replace some of the stock hoses with braided stainless lines. I have a question for those of you that have installed fuel rails but, not necessarily as part of a kit. The fuel rails that I am getting are going to get have -6 AN fittings at both ends of each rail but, I am not going to run a return back to the tank. If I split the fuel line to run into the "back" of each fuel rail, should I connect them in the "front" or should I cap them. The stock system is basically the "capped" variation. Another way to plumb this would be to run into the "back" of one rail, out the "front" of that rail and then back into the "front" of the other rail and then cap the "back" of that rail. One of my concerns is air being trapped in the lines at startup. Anyone have any comments?

Thx - Rob

 

Anyone?

 

Air will be forced out quite quickly once you prime the pump and the injectors pulse a few times.

 

Are you willing to post what parts you are using? I was considering doing it myself too.

 

That's what I was thinking/hoping. It will probably run rough for the first few seconds though. Nothing unexpected.

 

Yes. Once I get the parts and I install them, I will be posting a list of parts that are needed as well as a pseudo-howto. I have the Vortech kit so "splicing into" the stock system is a bit easier.
