Banzai Racing has some information that you mind useful in their Tech Articles:

Click Tech Support - > Scroll down to: FD3s Fuel Pulsation Damper Elimination

It's not exactly what you're doing but I think it might put you closer to an answer of what type of tap to purchase.

You are going to want to tap for 1/4 npt and then get a 1/4npt to 6an adapter.

are you gonna eliminate the FPD? I'd love to see some pictures or a short write up of taps/fittings you use(d) as you do this. My UIM and LIM are both off atm and I've been thinking about doing the same project.

I am in the middle of doing alot of things to my car but as for fuel rail i am using bosch 1680 secondarys with a Fjo injector driver and stock fd 850's in the primary fuel rail and i am using a rising rate aeromotive FPR and yes i am getting rid of the FPD. I found that using aluminum tube is cheaper than steel braided and regular an fittings so i will take progress pics and make a thread on how to do step by step when i get time

I'm looking to do this, but I'm concerned that I won't be able to get get a fitting that clears the OMP nozzles - most people that tap the rail seem to run premix? I've got some forged 90's to try but I'm not convinced they'll clear

premix regardless if you have the OMP connected. if you delete the OMP just premix more... but always always always premix.

Sorry, I meant eliminate the OMP injectors and solely run premix.

We cover this in our tech how-to http://www.banzai-racing.com/pd_elimination_how-to.htm:



you can install a 45 degree 6AN fitting (i.e. Summit Racing Part #SUM-220655). This allows clearance of the rear oil injector.
