Fuel Rails
Turbo Mini Forums

The smallest jobs always seem to take ages.

My fuel rail components all machined from solid bar.



I'm going to silver solder them to some 16mm dia tube.

Very nice.

What material did you go for?

That's all from 316 stainless bar.

I cant believe it has taken me two months to finish these.

Could be something to do with the 4 MOTs, acquiring a fifth Mini and fitting the 12G295 head to Sturgeo's motor.

the excitement builds ...

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Looking good, are you going to put any insulation between the fuel rails & the turbo?

Lookin good axel.
Will it be a tight fit under the bonnet or will it be fairly spacious?

Gazuntite

Is it good or bad?

It should all fit under the bonnet as the plenum is no higher or further back than the standard air cleaner.

Brilliant job axel. Nearly there then.

think that bottom injector will get too hot axel ?

What super work Alex! That's really looks some thing.

sweeet stuff!

Remind me - this is (will be?) a 998 turbo? Or are you just using this as an engine stand?

ah, yes... I remember now :)
I forget stuff in my old age.

sorry to dig, but im trying to find out what size to bore my own injector bungs out to?

what is it in MM whats safe sizes?

ive seen somewhere you can have

0.535" +- 0.005"

and

0.540" - 0.545"?

i have bought a 13.5mm reaming tool which would approximately = 0.531"? so would this be ok for my 14mm o-rings?

also, i have an 18mm bore fuel rail, would this be fine for my fuel supply to 4x injectors (440cc) for turbo use.

Thank you, Johnny.

Ah, those were the days......

The nominal size is 14mm, but that can be a bit loose.

They should be nice and tight with 13.5mm. I'll measure my latest ones later.

I used 14mm and that was fine with new O rings.

Out of interest (Johnny), where did you get the reamer ???

I couldn't find any fully parallel ones (all standard reamers have a lead-in which is more than the depth of an injector socket) so I just drilled them.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

Ive just done a set of 8 of these in stainless for my new rails,

a little hint, have a look on ebay for GSXR injectors like these, they seem to turn up real cheap, but it seems they are pretty good, they are a multi hole design (12 holes) that gives good atomosation and they flow about 420cc, but the rail end is smaller than normal, it needs an 11mm hole, but it appears that you can just slap a on rings on from a 14mm injector.

I measured up the Miglia ones and they are all 13.7-13.8 mm.
