That is one crazy build! And the fuel line nearest the front of the engine should be the inlet, but don't hold me to it.

Be careful when you weld all those pipes together. I can see the possibility of some serious warpage there.

Thanks guys, if anyone else can confirm the inlet fuel pipe it would be great.Warpage on the manifolds? The tubing is 3mm wall steam pipe, and it will be fillit welded i believe the term is as all the butts have an angle ground into them

Actually while i got you guys attention, (i hope) is there an after market alloy/billett fuel rail with -8 fittings? Id love to buy a couple as it saves time rather than making them

Ahh, fair enough. It looked like you were using normal mild steel bends. That's why I thought it all might warp.

What car is that? A Torana?

hi

i am running Vh41DE twin turbo also. in the progress.

you look like having serious fuel system set up.

just like to share, i change the fuel system to 2inlets, 2 outlets instead. as i plan to upgarde my injectors, i do not want the last injectors (cyclinder) to suffer as the fuel supply is dry after many of injectors in front.

in addition, i run a balancer before fuel inlet so that if 1 fuel pump failed, i still have 1 to support for a while.

hope this helps.
