Should be the right place for this... How possible would it be to fabricate a fuel rail that was mostly flexable fuel line? maybe just have the part above each injector be solid, kinda like a t fitting above each injector with hoses coming out each side, there can be a main unit if its away from the injectors cause u need the fpr still, i just have really limited space and need to compact stuff in, let me know how easy/hard this should be

 

I belive some Caddys had flexable line. Main concern would be leaks. You have more spots to keep an eye on now.

What are you doing that regular rails wont work?

 

switching a carbed supercharger to mpfi for my v6 camaro

 

Yes they did on northstars, and yes they leak. They have such a problem that there is a recall for mid 90's northstar powered cadillacs. I would stay away from that type of setup.

Is there a lack of room to run a conventional alum. fuel rail?

 

i dont have the setup in my hands yet, there might be room but there might not be, i want to make a plate to raise the sc up if they wont fit, but i dont want anything misalligned

 

i had an extra mpfi fuel log from my engine swap so i just took out an injector to get a real close look at it, from what i see i can stick the non injector end into a T fitting and run fuel hoses from T to T with the 1st fitting getting the fuel in and the last fitting get the return line, i plan to make a cartridge for the injector to go into with a screw on top or something similar to keep the T fitting firmly pressed onto the injector, i think this set up will well, just need to pressure test it before i use it daily, let me know if you think this idea will work

 

there are standard body fuel injectors with hose barbs on the end rather then the standard o-ring fittings. If it's really a problem you can use those and run hose right to the injector.

 

would giving you a hug and telling you that i love you be too straight forward? lol, do those injectors have a special name? what did they come in? i can make a sick setup with injectors like that!

 

Might offend my wife...

Bosch and nippondenso made a bunch. As far as I know they were used on assorted European imports that used the D-jetronic FI (like the early FI setups) and some early Japanese FI setups.

There’s also a few bosch injectors that have a top fitting that looks just about like a barb except it only has one ridge on it that was used in a bunch of stuff.

All of them are 5/16” in diameter, so some 5/16 FI hose (or -6 braded) will work.

I’ve also seen some slick, machined aluminum pockets that are built in 2 halves, the bottom half is an injector seat that you would weld or epoxy to the manifold and the top is held down with a couple of screws. A standard injector drops inside, the bottom half holds it to the manifold, the top half holds the injector in and the top half is threaded for an 1/8” NPT fitting which you could connect to anything you want (hose barb, NPT to -4 or -6 fitting and some braided…)
