update on custom fuel rail

[nomore_mr2]

dayam that looks great. just hope it flows as well as it looks. so anyway how much????

I don't know what the market is on sheetmetal manifolds or know how much they go for, but this one goes for "$900" and quoted from the horses mouth. There's always some room for negotiation, but I am not the welder here. Let me know what you think as I'm sure feedback is definitely warranted. And BTW, this is not through me because I don't need the money, but directly to the man himself. If anyone wishes to contact him/them, let me know and I'll set it up. Here's the manifold of the 400+whp 240sx with KA24de:

I say to all that's interested, call them and ask for harry and explain to him what you want. I'm sure if he sees there's some seriousness involved, he would produce a better figure or at least you can see what his angle is. It would definitely eliminate the messenger boy:D

If you can see this pic, you'll see the inside of my manifold. I don't see much in there to restrict or inhibit excellent flow.

damn dial up damn it to hell!!! cant wait to get the cable modem back up

[nomore_mr2]

looks nice. my only complaint is that they should have velocity stacks in there.

[boost_boy]

I'll ask as to why they're not included! Why would they be used? Is it for equal distribution of air to all cylinders?

[nomore_mr2]

as my understanding the velocity direct the air better the give it alittle more umpff going in. they my general basic understanding. every surge tank i have ever seen has them.

[boost_boy]

Most of the ones I've seen are based on the design of the plenum for routing air evenly amongst the cylinders. Looking at the factor plenum, I see very few restrictions and I think that is what's most important. The ability of the chamber to house high volumes of air and delivering it in the most unrestricted manner is what I feel is gonna cover the boost and flow side. If you want that extra ummmph, crank in another degree of ignition timing or run the engine on it's brink;) Who knows what really works and doesn't work! The factory one did nice, but I cannot justify a throttle body that has more diameter than my intake plenum.
