Default obx fuel rails good?

has any one used obx fuel rails? or Auto Gear fuel rails? I was browsing through ebay looking for a used rear brake and i found those two. I will be upgrading to 850cc injectors and fuel return soon, these rails cough my eye.

since they don't come with anything else that actually makes a difference or that you actually need, I'd say they are a complete waste

I had a friend use OBX cam gears on his subaru they fit like crap and when he did get them to fit they broke and ruined his $4,000 heads. After seeing that nothing OBX makes will ever go on my car even if its a catch can.

given that there are very good fuel systems out there that are affordable, have been proven to work, take out all the guesswork, and include everything you need, why would you even consider putting ebay level, made god-knows-where stuff on a car. If the build truly warrants a fuel system, then it warrants one actually worth putting in

Just do a basic return and keep the stock rails. Unless you want crazy power the stock rails are fine. Im making over 700whp with my stock rails. end thread....

^ I agree, im at 15-17psi on a built 3.5, using stock fuel rail. However I also have an OBX set sitting in the shed. They fit perfectly and have threads on both ends, so you can pretty much do anything with them as far as fuel setups. The bad things about them is that they dont take the effort to clean the shavings inside, they just machine it, paint and sell. So if your going to use them, make sure you use wirebrush or something to get rid of all the shavings inside, also does not come with any fittings or anything so you need to invest a good amount on those (aint cheap)
