But yea.. maybe it's me, I just don't like questioning the fuel system or brakes as either of these go wrong, eek.
But all in all, not an overly engineered part which can be made some what cheaply.
Whats causing you to think about changing out your fuel rail?
Yeah, that's a valid point about the "rough edges" both literally and figuratively. As with most things from ebay, I'd always give it a once over, add locktight here, trim something there, tighten everything, and grind off any sharp edges I see. There is a lot of ebay stuff out there that's 95% of what the namebrand stuff is, and you can take it the rest of the way with a little TLC. Like you said though, some things you don't want to screw around with. A fuel rail leaks or it doesn't. I'd put one on any day. Now one thing you'll for sure never see me rocking is putting ebay brakepads on my jeep let along a performance car.
OP--your factory fuel rail will flow way more than you are going to make with an RB20, but I understand where you are coming from. Even just for looks, you can get fuel rails for $100 if you decide you can deal with used or ebay "junk". And no, RB25's are side feed and that rail will not work. The 26 rail should be the same though.
