That's not teflon tape you have there on the threads of those AN fittings - is it?

Is that TPIS's feul rail setup, or did ZBRA set that up himself? Where is the return line?

It looks like teflon tape to me. I sent him the link. He asked me to post the pics.

From what he told me, he had this setup by thunder racing (i think). If i had to guess, id say that the rails are tapped for NPT with a NPT/AN adaptors in it and the tape to seal.

The return line comes out of the regulator and is the curved AN fitting.

 

the AN to AN should not be taped as they seal them selves....any harm...doubt it...

but the AN to NPT is ok...but I would use paste personally...no tape to clog lines

 

Is that your kitchen? I like the wallpaper.
Lines look cool too.

 

I actually hogged out my rails and welded 8An lines to the front,opened up the back cross piping with 1/2 inch aluminum tubing and went with a SX regulater.I thought about it,the rails inside diameter is really cramped for space,doesnt look like it would support a supercharged combo like mine.Under 500hp keep em they way they are.My motor put down 400hp alone before the boost,I dont want any problems.Take a look at your factory rails,twice the size of the Minirams inside

Hey y'all. Been out a while. 'ya miss me?

Thunder racing suggested feeding fuel to both rails, so I spent way too much money on AN fittings and I made that up. It looks cool if nothing else.

That is teflon tape. Oops. It is a thin carefully applied layer, and can't clog the lines.

Lexus dude: That is my walpaper in my kitchen. I have some extra rolls left over if you would like them. You pay shipping.

Here is a idea for you high HP guys. Anyone ever try to modify LT4 rails to work on the mini ram? They are slightly larger than LT1 rails.

The most HP I will ever have will be around 450 (crank). I think that this set up will work fine for me.

What'ch y'all think?

Later,

Will the LT1 or LT4 fuel rails work with the miniram? If so, what kind of modifications would you need to make, if any. The LT1/LT4 manifold is basically the same design as the miniram so the fuel rails should be pretty close too, right?

The '94-up LT1/LT4 rails have a crossover tube in the front. This could be plugged though. The '92-'93 LT1 rails didn't have the front crossover tube. I don't know what other problems you may run into though.

 

When are we going to see some dyno numbers?

Actually, I am taking next week off, and will work on it then. I am also waiting for my new rockers to come in. I couldn't use the self aligning ones with my new springs and retainers.
