If it were me, I would wait until you get an EMS and then buy a real rail from either Wolfkatz, Hux Racing, or Speed-Source. I like ATS and they provide very good products but I would never buy one of those rails. my thoughts exactly...i was gunna wait it out 'til i upgrade the entire fuel system originally until this topic came up. i havent had any input from anyone who actually has experience w/ the ATS fuel rail so far...so i may just wait it out like i originally planned. Wolfkatz sounds good to me, but out of curiousity why wouldnt u buy an ATS rail Jay? bboy Have you held a 3sgte fuel rail in your hands? Its made of extremely thin material. Boring out the rail, even a little bit, would concern me due to structural integrity. Now, I have never heard of a problem with an ATS rail so I don't want to imply that the structural integrity is weakened to a point that they are not safe or that they don't do their job in lowering the pressure drop. I am just saying that I wouldn't buy one. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

i agree, this thread makes it sound like bad juju, but dont most swappers run a constant 12-15 psi? i mean stock boost is what, 10? 8? and your throwing a nice intercooler on, coupled with the fact that most turbo engines are detuned from the factory, it seems like 12-15 psi is safe.

just a couple pics of the ATS modifyed rail for refrence..
i dont see a problem with this:   the only time i would see a problem is when the rail is modifyed to accept a larger feed, where the tension created could potentially crack it. thats not the case with the ATS rail. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

You probably get a lot more lag and a little more top end. Almost certainly nothing to worry about exceeding the stock fuel system. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
