Aftermarket Fuel Rails, Stock Lines

[LSWHAT??]

The NPT to AN adapter fitting for running fuel to my nitrous system from the schrader broke off inside my stock rails, so I decide to go aftermarket.

I call up UPR this morning and one of their guys informs me that the rails they sell will not work with stock fuel lines (have to go -8AN and use braided lines) and that I would have to buy a Fuel Pressure Regulator to hook up the fuel supply to the nitrous. This appears to be the case with the Aeromotive rails, and the MMR rails as well.

Does anyone know of rails that will work with the factory setup, as is? Any suggestions on how to run the fuel supply to the nitrous system would also be appreciated. I was thinking about just tapping and drilling out the rails in the same location as the schrader, and then just running a NPT to AN fitting right out of the rail?

Wish I had an extra set of stock rails!

I have a set of stock rails if you want, PM sent

Aftermarket rails are useless unless you are making over 600hp, then you need to think about aftermarket rails.

I have a set as well

Payment sent, thank you, look forward to installing these. :beer:

Regardless, even the stock rails are prone to a recall of the brackets breaking, It would be nice to know what's out there that can replace the stock rails without any modifications. I am looking for a replacement myself

 

[tomustang]

Or even the parts necessary to make aftermarket rails fit tot he stock fuel lines

Like these: http://www.uprproducts.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=129

but what hoses, fittings, and where would the pressure regulator go?

You could say that for any stock part, but I have never heard of stock rails failing.

That's not the point, it would be nice to know what to complete a aftermarket rail transfer without doing a $1900 aeromotive system change

There is an adapter that you can install that connect an AN line to your stock fuel lines.

I actually ordered the Aeromotive rails and will be using these adapters to hook up the AN lines that I am using to connect the rails and regulator to the stock feed and return lines.

Steeda has them aswell, might even be cheaper http://www.steeda.com/products/russell_fuel_rail_fittings.php

those are the ones that go to the rails not the ones on the rails

So what happens to the Pressure Regulator, and where would it mount into line with aftermarket rails?

 

[matt888]

I never ended up using these. Brand new return and inlet fuel line connections. If someone needs them just message me. Don't mean to hijack but it appears your looking for the same type of connections I searched and searched for in the past. Good look with your fuel line work.

 

[fourvalvegt]

for the fpr i have custom ones made. they are cncd alulminum and polished, they bolt to the back of the intake

You should have gotten an easy out and got the broken piece out of the rail. It happened to me too and the piece came right out.
