1 year in the making and she's almost done. I got the fuel rail fitment issue out of the way tonight. 45lbs of pressure and no leaks. After fabbing 3 different brackets and having a leak issue, I ended up using two adel clamps with spacers and they work great. So the rumor about the Mustang GT 4.6 fuel rail fitting the KA is true, there is a slight off set on injector 1 or 4, depending on your mounts. But not enough to effect the seal.

So I now have 42lb injectors, an Aeromotive fuel rail that will support 1000WHP, 2 255LPH pumps and a MSD Adjustable FPR. All controlled by an Ultra Expensive Custom WDRacing Hacked MAF...lol.

Just have to connect the IC pipes and finish installing all the parts pieces and I'll be ready to destroy my stock clutch and Pirelli P Zero's.

More to come...

so the factory brackets on the mustang rail bolt up to the KA or u had to make ur own? This info could definitely help others seeing as how it could give us another fuel setup to look at when going with top feed injectors

You should see the pile of left over parts....Nissan uses way to much hardware. I must have 20 lbs of bolts and screws left over.

Wow WD I think this is the 1st post of progress on your car...

Cant wait to see you with Propane, Alk, and Nitro all on one car... I don't know if you will have any room left in the cylinders for gas.

Yer guna have enough fuel to power the Northwest.

LMAO I also have 6x6inch box full of nuts bolts and screws too... And all of its from things I purchased or came off my car... :P I'm glad I'm not the only one who cant find where they go.

I dunno if I'll have the propnae for the Nico meet this month, but the alky kit will be on for sure.

Possibly N20, depends on my finances. I really would like to install a 100 shot for the meet though.

Brian before you moved out here the AZ government did this thing years ago where they would pay for half (i think it was half, it was some large amount of money at least) of any alternative fuel vehicle...so all these people went out and bought brand new trucks and **** and put a propane kit on them and they were accepted as an alternative fuel vehicle and they got a big fat check in the mail.

You could have had a half free s14. hahaha

If you get a good propane setup made I would like to strike a deal to get one from you... I don't know about alk I'm still up in air about doing that... I have never seen someone selling a kit that I would trust with my cash. Same with Propane... Guess I might have to take a plunge into a questionable business.

Well thats the thing...you always lose the little 10mm bolts that hold the most important **** together. But have tons of crao you don't need.

And why the hell does Nissan use 3 different size fasteners to hold on the same part. I shouldn't ever have to us a 10-11-and 14mm socket to remove one part...I HATE that.

oh oh and they SNAP even when you use WD-40 or other liquid wrenches. They snap like a motherfu****. And then evenw hen they don't, they like to fall down the timing cover into the oil pan when you're doing your TC. And then they strip the frikkin holes int he head so your valve cover doesn't sit tight andoil leaks on your manifold. and THEN!... man I have a bone to pick with bolts.
