Default Parallel Fuel rails installation kit

Full kit to pipe up your fuel rails in parallel using a remote regulator (assuming you already have a regulator and the rails converted to -6AN on all ends), consists of:

5 off 90 degree female -6AN fittings
5 off straight double swivel female -6AN fittings
1 off 3 way male -6AN T piece
2 Hose end finishers
3m of 200 style Stainless braided hose.

The above kit is £200, I can convert your own fuel rails to -6AN for an additional £75

Surely you need two T's one for the supply and one for the return lines

As a rule, most use the remote fuel pressure regulator (such as SX, Aeromotive, Aeolab, etc which have 2 inlet ports) for the 2 return lines so an extra T piece isn't required.

No worries Martin see what you mean I used two myself but swings and roundabouts as you say.

Are those phase 1 or 1.5 rails. If they are 1.5 are you interested in splitting
cheers

I think they're Phase 1 rails but in any case I don't have them, they were a pair I did for a someone a while back and took some pics, just happen to be the only pics I have! I dont keep any in stock, just modify ones supplied. I did try to do an exchange service but was let down by someone who didn't return theirs so I dont do that anymore! I've recently done some "Newage" top feed rails too, a bit more messy to convert but the final job is just as good.

The ends of the fuel rails are first prepared. You then need a lathe and a fair bit of experience to machine the fittings to fit the rails, then they are carefully brazed, not welded in position (using some very special rods). The rails are then re-plated by a specialist plating firm.

Yes the fittings and high quality pipe are very expensive, you only have to put "Demon Thieves" prices (+ VAT) against the parts list and I think it will come to £100 or so more!

Cheers,

Martin
