FPD delete tap size
Hi,

I've been following the banzai racing FPD delete guide, and it specifies a 1/4-18 tap for the fuel rail, but the ID of my fuel rail inlet is 0.471 inches... Anybody else have this issue? 94 JDM FD.

Why are you deleting the fpd? It serves a purpose.

He could always run an aftermarket Radium one.

a 1/4 npt tap isn't 1/4" in diameter. Just follow the directions and you'll be fine.

1/4"-18 NPT tap drill diameter is 7/16

Pipe sizes are oddly named... on larger pipe sizes the nominal size (like 1 1/2" pipe size) is very close to the ID of the pipe.
