I cant open trademe links at work but if your looking at the W.O.P (red anodised) ones they almost fit perfectly, I had to grind a small piece of alloy off my inlet manifold off to make them fit, but with some duct tape and a vacuum cleaner I managed to do it with the manifold in place, I'll post some pics tonight when I get home if I remember

I was just running push loc hose, but the proper fuel safe teflon lined aeroquip stuff, I tried modifying factory ones but after 3 different people welded them they still leaked I gave up and went for the billet ones, the only other problem is the fittings on the ends aren't any normal thread pitch that I could find so you have to use AN fittings that they come with. But make sure you use fuel safe thread sealer on them.

I disagree that modified standard 1s flow the same as after market billet ones.. Why not spend money on both? parts that look good and have the gain?

[rex-leggy]

your injectors are the important part . but each to there own

your injectors are the part that flows. rails and lines are at constant pressure or you have a serious problem

Yes i realise that, But the fuel has to go through the rail before it hits the injectors.. And the piping between the injectors on the standard rails are pretty tiny.. as they Are made for the flow rate of the factory injectors.

Could be wrong but dont factory rails and regs support at least 300ish kw proven? But hey if youre planning on having headroom to 1000hp or going for shiny fancy bits no ones stopping you...

[funkytown]

OP - factory rails happily support 300wkw.. i run factory rail no issue.300wheel is way way more than anything a factory turbo would support, more than 5mts really like and factory clutches and axles and lots of othert things. injector rails arent your bottle neck

the AN fittings are a lot tidier and no chance of them ever coming off or the welds cranking if you have fittings braized on. if done correctly on factory rails though there are also perfectly safe.

both can be run in a parrallel setup to the same effect to support any hp you could want
