Are there any good replacements for the stock FI rails? My stock ones look a bit crude.
These are on eBay but I think they are overkill...yes? |

This is where I mounted my fuel pressure gauge within the engine. It works just fine.

One would think you could mount them in both locations. They're just pressure indicators so they should have no effect on fuel distribution.
Before the regulator tells you your fuel pump is delivering the proper volume to the regulator. After the regulator tells you if your regulator is working properly. No? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

When I add one for adjusting or checking the fuel pressure, I just disconnect the cold start injector and put the guage at the end of that hose.
I believe that after the regulator wouldn't be a good location. Remember that the regulator is like your thumb, so the pressure is actually created before the regulator, between the fuel pump and the regulator. At least thats my understanding. |

Mike, your understanding is correct.
The "after the regulator" appears to be a small misunderstanding on the part of the poster--his gauge was indeed plumbed in upstream of the regulator, which is why it worked correctly. --DD |

Is that a steel braided hose from the airbox to the oil fill? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
