Anyone have an old fuel rail laying around? I think I am going custom!

I want to get this:

http://www.rossmachineracing.com/customrail.html

Because I just spoke with AEM, and their rail isn't going to be released until sometime around mid Jan to early Feb of next year.

Venom says March.....

So, why not go the custom route......

I need specs from the stock fuel rail, if anyone has one they are willing to send me so I can measure things?

Hey jackass - how many times does a company say they are going to release a product for our cars - but keep delaying it?

If I keep waiting my turbo project will never get finished. I'm not waiting around while those guys delay things more, fvck 'em.

Yeah, it would be a better idea to get a custom one done...I don't care for AEM or Venom products anyway...Try car-parts.com...It's a nationwide junkyard site that Robbusaf told me about...You should find a good price there.

Well, I have been doing a little more checking into things. The design which AEM used for the RSX includes either the stock pulsation damper, or one redesigned by them. I've seen some pictures of this thing over at clubrsx.com. I'm guessing this is why the price is so high for it. It does look like a nice rail, but who knows when they will actually release one for our car.

I wanted to actually put a custom rail in, but after doing some reading, and seeing that AEM kept the design pretty much the same (just made a larger rail), I am starting to think it probably wouldn't be smart to just stick any old rail in, as the fuel pressure may jump all over the place (which is what the pulsation damper compensates for).....

This sucks, because the only way that I know of at this point to convert to a return system is to drill and weld a fitting onto the stock rail.

I know others have done it, I just wish I could use a better fuel rail than our dinky one that comes stock....
