Default made the nicest fuel rails even nicer!!

up until now, all currently available aftermarket rails, that we have got our hands on (including ours), for the 350z would require grinding part of the lower plenum to clearance the fuel rail mounting hardware when used with taller fuel injectors such as RC Engineering or our Denso/HKS/CJM 1000cc injectors.

We got tired of that quickly when installing our rails... so today for a customers car that is currently in the shop we setup a new process in the manufacturing of the rails.

We now include SS hardware and have made another machine process on the rails so that the hardware is flush and no modifications to the lower plenum are required. Here is how it looks:

Hey Charles, will you have these for sale on the forums? And since I am getting the new Kinetix SSV IM, will these fit?

yes sir they have been for sale for a while now, we just always update things we make if we find a way to.

the next great addition to the rails will be adding them to my website so there is one solid place people can always see the information and pricing and order them.

They will probably fit the new kinetix manifold but there is only one way to find out!

they are available polished as well:

Default Awsum look Polished

Charles, Just a great look for a "Show Car" with optimum function !

Looks like a Jewell ! - (sp?)

Now to add the FI one piece Plenum so those fuel rail's can be seen.

Cheers Amy -
P.S. Thanks for being "Open" about the head lift issue.
Question: If the ARP studs do lose tension at X number of hours, how would we check what the existing ( found ) torque really was?
Should we set the Torque Wench to say 55 and check then
increment the torque wrench by 5 lb's until the nut on the stud turns?

Your method please..

the ends are -6... A single -6 line can support 600hp worth of fuel at normal pressure levels. In our entire kit the undercar pipe and rail feed hose are -8, then split to twin -6 before the rails. This will allow enough flow for much higher HP when we eventually do the twin pump setup. That wont be for a while... too much happening right now. Not to mention I need my R&D car to actually require 2 pumps first... I cant exactly road test and R&D a twin pump system if the car running it doesnt even need the supply of two pumps!!! Gotta be making over 700rwhp for that... otherwise I wouldnt even know that it works other than on paper.

how much are they running for Charles? I was planning on getting the AAM fuel system, but if the price is right and the quality is matched or exceeded, I wouldn't mind getting a set.

right now we are doing our first in-house install of the kit using the regulator we supply rather then an aeromotive. The guy who makes our regulators has been taking forever to get us the final version with the changes i wanted made... so we have been using and supplying aeromotives until hes done.

Are the blue ones painted or anodized? Do you have an exact price yet and does that price include the -6 AN fitting on the ends of the rails?

Thx - Rob

The blue rails are anodized and they do come with -6 fittings and mounting hardware.

Price for blue is $395.

The twin pump setup will be some time. I cannot do any R&D road testing until I have a car that actually needs that much fuel... so until I am making 700+ rwhp out of my car, I cannot work on it!
