parallel fuel rail
Getting my walbro and FPR fitted soon and was thinking of getting the parallel fuel rail mod done. Have seen a couple of threads detailing how to do it but as I know nothing about engines I don't fancy getting busy under the bonnet and screwing everything.
Does anyone know how much it should cost to get this done and do I need to buy a kit or something?

There are full kits available, try www.mrtrally.com.au (I think).
If you do not know engines and are not a 'good' mechanical type, please be careful!
The fuel system on injected cars run at very high pressures, failure in installation can lead to volumous leaks of fuel and WILL result in a serious under bonnet FIRE.
You could do worse than talking to Alyn at www.asperformance.com (or co.uk).

Thanks Graham,
Have sent him an e-mail so hopefully I'll get some good info. Like you said, I don't particularly want to be messing around with it myself so I'll leave it to the pros!

If you branch off from "Pump" to each hole in "Parrellel" the drop will be equally shared between the 4 holes.
The mixture injected is relative Fuel pressure and IDC. if the pressure drops the mixture is leaner IIRC
Hope this helps

Just going for the safety aspect really. Haven't had reply yet from Alwyn but will let you know what the cost of the mod would be if you were to have it done professionally. Just saw another recent thread stating that FPRs are bad for the car. Is this so?

I think Harvey makes a valid point.
I did mine because of aiming for 400 bhp from an Sti v3, so needed to ensure all was well.
Fro a stock engine I doubt there is any gain to be had.

I had big end bearing failure on number 3 and i run about 270bhp on a legacy, i'm seriously looking into this mod purely to rule out the fact that it might have caused it....

With all else being equal (chamber volume, cylinder bore, injector flow rates, runner lengths etc) they'll be less pressure drop across the cylinders so the measured (ie actual) air fuel ratio of each cylinder will be the same and equal spark timing can be run across all four cylinders.
In most cases, without individual cylinder trims, ignition timing becomes a compromise to suit the worst case cylinder rather than the optimal amount we should all be running for maximum power.

Peeps have reported, just before the failure that the car seemed to get another 50+hp !! Is this the start of it generally leaning out and then the end of line "pressure drop" results in No3 Failure. Or could it just be Oil burning up form an already doomed No3 piston?
