equal fuel rail conversion.....How involved a job?
 

Have been advised that this would be a worthwhile mod to consider with my planned mods.

The kits you buy, are they involved to fit or pretty straightforward?

Any other tips or experiences would be great guys :)

i should be doing this at some point soon, they look pretty straightforward, as long as the green plates shielding the oem imjectors have been removed already.

What are your plans though? its not really necessary unless your shooting for 400+ IMO and even then, if its mapped correctly they you can still get away with it.

Wont be aim aiming that high for power, well not just yet.

just thought as it was reasonably inexpensive, would be worth considering as a precaution.

As the injectors will be coming out anyway soon to be replaced, might be worth doing.






BTW car is 02WRX

It is not a difficult job but there is a lot of fiddly work involved.
Unless you are replacing the FPR anyway and aiming for over 500 bhp it is not a necessary job.

Well the FPR is going to be replaced, but 500+ no way.

Yet another uneccesary mod :(

The FPR doesnt need to be replaced either :) the newage one is more than up to the job! :p

there....saved you a few quid ;)

This is where it gets confusing, one person tells you you need something then the next person tells you otherwise :lol1:

And no the person that told me i needed one is not selling one ;)

I know where your coming from cookstar, thats what gets me!!

Even if you fitted one, would it not help the engine at all running 300/300?

S!

I just hear a lot about (is it number 2 piston) being starved of fuel?

Surely whether seriously needed or not this may help prevent an engine rebuild, or am I barking up the wrong tree here

its number 3 piston, but that aside the car can be mapped to add slightly more fuel to cylinder 3. 300/300 is not stressing the fuel system at all. I run standard fuel pressure (3 bar) with large injectors and get circa 380/400. Standard fuel rails, standard reg. However i will be changing to parallel for the next stage, but still until my mapper says otherwise, the standard fpr will stay in place.

How much do you think a garage would charge to fit above item?

Surely it would do no harm being fitted. :)

the fpr? or the rails?

not sure on either, but i was going to do the rails myself anyway while the inlet manifold was off.

I'm replacing my inlet manifold, thats why i was thinking of the APS one, looks good even if its more than I need.

S!

get a set of perrins from the US, 200 quid delivered (from US ebay), nice kit too, thats what im going for.

Perrins?? Website?

if you are going to get some, i'd speak to Carl Davey as he has produced some quite recently which were insulated and did a very good job of keeping them cool iirc,
heatsoak on other billet rails is a common problem so i am led to believe?

Is this the kit your talking about Neilo (yhpm BTW)

S!

That wasnt the kit no, that looks quite serious!! ill try and find the one i mean and post it.

as fitted to an inlet manifold

That is a good point, could be easily solved if wrapped in heat reflecting tape though, ive got plenty of that so thats what id most likely do....

:luvlove:

hehe, i rest my case ;)

Has anyone fitted this kit from Perrin? Anyone know if the side/top feed will fit a MY95 STI type RA?

Cookstar- Sorry for hijacking your thread!

these are designed for newage cars only im afraid :( not sure if there is a conversion kit available though but i doubt it. Its mainly due to the US designing all cool parts from the newage car when up until recently it was mostly for classics over here.....role reversal!

No probs mate, the more info on these in the thread the better :thumb:

There is this too;

TSL MOTORSPORT | Subaru Saab Mitsubishi | parts | repair | servicing | performance tuning | UK

hmm, think youll agree though, it doesnt look quite as nice!

How much does this baby cost

last time i checked 200 quid delivered off US ebay.....$342 + $45 shipping when i asked them, which roughly equates to £200 in todays lovely exchange rate :)

O/E fuel rails are good for over 500 bhp and as Neil says the O/E New Age FPR is quite capable so unless you need to raise fuel pressure to extend the range of your injectors there is no need to change the FPR. Save your money.
