I was wondering since there is no aftermarket fuel rail for the second gen. TLs, is it possible to bore it out ourselves and run new lines.

 

is not like you're running a turbo that you need to increase gas flow...you might not wanna do a guetto engine mod of this caliber, it will come back and bite you in the ass someday.

 

the question is why?? your not going to gain any thing by it

 

hmm... I think the question should be... what the hell is a fuel rail????

 

I second what fsttyms1 said. There are no HP gains by just adding a fuel rail. The only time a fuel rail is required is when you do big engine mods like custom turbo.

 

its the piece that teh fuel injectors are attached to

 

did you just open up your engine again?? you did same for the cams thread. to you bro.

 

nah that was a few days ago when "started" to polish my upper intake

 

Actually the Turbo CL guys find the stock fuel rail fine. They just added an additional injector to get the little extra fuel they needed.

And just making the rail bigger will do nothing unless you get bigger injectors as well.

 

Well that answers my quetion then i guess...but what if I am running a turbo. Not to say that I am, but I want an answer as if I was...please...

 

Oh, also wanted to ask...did you mean the first or second gen. CL guys...would be interested if there are some guys putting turbos on the second gens.

 

2nd gen probably 1st gen also

 

Fstty,

You have the balls to open your engine??? Holy shit!!! I would never even DREAM about trying that!!!! You can come clean my engine anytime you want! LOL

 

2nd gen. there have been a few that have turboed.
and like mrsteve said. the stock rail is fine. simply adding another to the intake to add a little more charge is all you would need. a larger rail alone wouldnt do any thing. you would need larger flow injectors, probably a new pump to push them and some tuning to get them to flow more, all would do nothing for hp, unless you were under serious boost

 

its not hard, dont be scared. its just a few bolts and every thing just comes off.

 

Yea but knowing me I'd try to take something apart and I'd make the whole damn tranny fall out.

 

nah its just 10 or so very easy bolts to get to and things start coming off!

 

an engine is easy to take apart, the key is to get it back together perfectly.

 

and thats easy with the upper intake manifold.

 

fstty, did you polish it yourself??? how long did it take you to take your engine apart like that?? i smell my next mod cooking up =]

 

i'm urging for results thats what!

 

yea i did that. it only takes about 15 min to take the upper intake manifold off.

i have about 2-3 hrs into smoothing it out so far. i want to do more. ill port match and polish more when i have more time to remove the lower manifold

 

what do you use to polish it?

 

grinding stones for my air grinder and dremel. i got different coarsness stones and used mothers mag and aluminium polish with the stones to smooth it out. and i also used some emry cloth (samd paper) in the hard to reach areas. if you hav epaientce its not that hard to smooth it out

 

:bows: thats sweet any improvement??

 

Nice Kris....let us know if you feel any gains!
