Dose anyone here use the 928MS fuel rails
 
I was wondering if anyone here has bought, installed, and used the 928 Motorsports fuel rails and hoses?

If you have, what are your thoughts.

Also have you ever tried to install a gauge on the rails or in the system once it is installed.

I'm unclear on why people think they need aftermarket fuel rails. There is a lot of capacity on the stock rails. All you need to do to open up the system is to run a larger line from the tank and then "Y" it into each rail.

YouTube - Porsche 928S4 Twin Turbo Conversion Part17

See this video at 2:25-3:30...it explains all that is needed to really open up the fuel system on a 928S4. I know there are some adaptor fittings to mount a gauge on the end of a stock fuel rail.

If it aint broke, I don't fix it!

That twin turbo car is one amazing piece of work.
Is it a one-off?
It must cost $20 or $30K to build one from the plans.?

You can read all about the system on my website. Kuhn Performance Technologies I currently have the better part of one system on the shelf.

If you are handy and can do the installation yourself, the system with a high torque clutch and exhaust can be had for a lot less than the number you listed above.

I am planning on using some similar rails on my car, they are custome made from billet fuel rail stock(you can get it on ebay). I am using an aftermarket regulator and the pressure guage mounts on it(two actually, one incoming pump pressure and one regulated pressure). I am also using aeroquip fuel lines and fittings similar to 928motorsports system... it will be at least spring before i start back on my car and have it running but maybe i can let you know how it turns out. Their system looks pretty good to me if you are wanting to run a stock or mildly modified engine..i am sure it will support at least 500 hp... if not more. I would have purchased this but did not know about it when i first bought the supplies to make my own. I can tell you from my experience that their price is very reasonable for the ammount of machining needed(A friend and I did mine), the cost of the fittings and hose supplied...http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1295079425.jpg

It was so that I am not tied to there fittings so that I can use SAE fittings and make my own hose.

It is because the old rails with their 20+ years of foam on them Look Like S%$T

New ones are Chrome, SAE fittings, Larger volume if ever needed.

Besides the stock rails have restrictive kinks in the pipes coming off of them, and did I mention that they Look Like SHe!T :D

Well its been a while.

Today I got the electrical and vacuum lines under the hood done (thank God)

Cleaned up the harness at the back. I installed an electromotive Tec-GT kit

Nice job on the engine. Very clean looking engine bay there!

Are you keeping the filter back there on the rear of the engine?

That is probably one of the hottest places on the motor, especially at standstil. I would think you may want to consider some sort of airbox / Intake modification to get air from a cooler source (fender well, front of motor, etc.). Looks good tho, but I would hate to try to tune it with the filter there. (hot intake charge FTL).
