Rear Calipers, What a Deal!!! Options

Hey Hey,
Check it out, http://www.9xauto.com/914.html
Maybe if we do a group buy of rear calipers we can get a deal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

The type IV engine in our cars was designed during WWII. The Bosch only began designing electronic fuel injection in 60-70's to refit these engines with new system. It was their first try. In 2004 we know its shortcomings.

Er, I think you're confusing the Type 4 with the Type I, which itself was reworked a number of times after the original design. The Type 4 was designed in the 60s.

It's true that D-Jet was Bosch's first attempt at a commercial EFI system, but it's shortcomings do not start at the fuel rails. You still seem reluctant to back up any of your claims with actual data. Adding more fuel with nothing more than an enlarged throttle body is unlikely to do much of anything useful.

If one were to do a number of things to significantly increase fuel usage (much wilder cam, compression, more displacement, a turbo, etc), then it's certainly possible one could hit the limitations of the stock fuel rails in flowing enough fuel. If so, one would also need to increase the size of the fuel lines from the tank, and even the outlets at the tank itself, since they all pretty much share the same ID, which is where the flow restriction would come from. Since there are people out there who've increased power (and thus fuel requirement) by more than 30% using the stock fuel lines and rails, it seems rather unlikely the rails are much of an issue by themselves. If you're trying to tell me you can get more than a 30% increase by just a new TB, rails, injectors, and pressure, I'm going tell you to put the crack pipe down.

The parts look nice, and I'm sure they'd dress up an engine bay nicely. I'm sure if one were to actually NEED bigger rails that these would be useful. But dreaming up false power increases only damages your reputation. Bullshit doesn't always sell.
