First off here is the whole part I ordered.




here is the part #



Took sme beating but I put the rail in a vise and the PD finally came out.



and a Pic of it done .. and sure hope correctly.. the crush washers lined up perfect .. I put a little pipe thread on the threads .. and all looks well

do you need the pd or can i just put the banjo bolt like you did or can you use a 89-91 fuel rail with 86-88 rx-7 right now i have 89-91 intake manifold with fuel rails but don't know if it will fit with the 86-88 intake one because i am thinking of putting my old intake back on and might use the bottom 89-91 rail

Hey Rob-

Whered you get the stainless steel turbo oil line? Or is that what the OEM looks like when its not covered in ****?

Rpeck

From what I have been told you can use the 89+ Rail on a S4 without a problem. But I have also heard of many people useing just a Banjo bolt for years now with no ill effect .. so thats what I went with. I figure if the PD is ripped it wasn't working anyways.. so it can't be any better than a Banjo bolt.

Also keep in mind the 89+ PD did also fail .. just not as frequent.

Rpeck

Well, I belive thats OEM. There was only one owner of this car before me, and he gave me ALL the reciepts for things he had done to it .. and I never saw anything about Turbo work. I was going to replace that line when I did my turbo upgade .. but I had a hard time locating one & this one is still in flawless condition, I did'nt even have to clean it .. thats what it has looked like all along.

That "SS" turbo line is stock - it's actually the flex section in the turbo oil drain - all FC turbos have this.

Great to hear the info put to good use!

LOL

I have run mine for 9 months with this mod, no change in running. Why buy a fancy aluminum part when you can get the banjo bolt for little of nothing especially if you keep spare parts? Get a spare s4 NA fuel rail, primary, and use the other banjo bolt from it. IT works for NA adn t2 rails.

this mod removes the pulsation dampner ?

Rpeck

I didnt have access to a spare fuel rail And there was a cheaper banjo fitting i could have gotten but summit was out of stock on it, I didn't want to wait. I was putting everything back together so I had to do what i had to do.. it was still alot cheaper than a new PD, i think it cost me total $28 with shipping.

Rpeck

Yup, it sure does.

vmb

any downside without the pd!
and for you non rotorheads pd doesnt stand for p. diddy !

Rpeck

As far as all the people I have heard from that have done this .. there has been no ill effects. Mine is working fine, even with a Wabloro 255 Pump. But I will keep you all posted if I see ill effects.

Well, just did mine today. I used the banjo bolt off a extra fuel rail. First off let me say wow. What a difference. What I didn't know was my PD must have been restricting fuel. it didn't show signs of leaking just what'd to replace it while my car wasent well down lol, But after I did this I took the car out wow, more power the car sounded so much stronger. And temps, before on a day like today the coolant temp would have been around 180 just cruising up and down the hills here im WV after this mod, 160-165 water temps!!! Gougein on up hill got me to 172 tops!!!! with the PD in it must have been running lean. Hell I'd recommend this mod to anyone. Idle is great heck it might have been a little better than before. And runs great.

Rpeck

Right on! maybee your PD was leaking a little bit of air into the fuel system? I need to do this to my N/A now, I only did my turbo.

Share some of that good **** you're smoking!
