AIC people or people high fuel people

Anyone using this ?

I was thinking of having some of these made...
$200 is the rate and they angle downward...

Any comments or issues?

That's one nice piece. It looks like it's for an FD, right?

It's a very nice piece but I see one problem with the design!
Looking at the bolt pattern on the plate it would position the injectors on the outside of the manifold right above the turbo or in the general area of alot of heat. Plus the fuel in the rail is sure to boil in that position not to mention the life of the injectors and o-rings might fail leading to a potential fire!
I've seen that set-up before but the injectors were place on the opposite side under the intake!

Yes it includes the rails.

It could easily be machined to fit under the manifold. I have no problem with its location and you could change the o rings @ a 15,000 mile interval with no problems whatso ever!

Mounting it under the manifold makes it both harder to access and service. The turbo also doesnt create that much heat. The unit would be ok for 60,000 miles of VERY HIGH HEAT! Most single turbos are vented downwards (because of their placement) so the air is drafted downward and out!

i think it would be way better off with it unnder the manifold, pulling the manifold takes a whopping 10 minutes. anyone that will be using that will have a upgraded turbine and i know my t04r would cook that thing in a matter of days
