Has anyone tried the fuel rail kit Auto Atlanta has in thier catalog? The description about it delivering more fuel than the original makes sense, I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with it? Good? Bad? Worth the $190?

IMHO, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) This applies for any of the fuel resevoir rail systems.
If you are using FI, and you have a stock 1.7, 1.8 or 2.0L engine, then your fuel is being delivered to the injectors at about ~38PSI. If the fuel pressure is being held steady by the fuel pump, you cannot starve your engine of fuel. If you are finding that your fuel pressure is wavering, then you need to troubleshoot the fuel pump and pressure system. Holding a resevoir of fuel at pressure cannot hurt your fuel delivery system, but it certainly doesn't do anything to assist your system. It just puts more fuel at pressure. For $190, I would want to see a marked improvement in my system, not just more fuel being put under pressure. Quite frankly, any system that can use more fuel than the fuel pump can reliable provide is in trouble from the start, and a fuel resevoir rail system is not the fix. Just my $.02. Eric Read |
