I will offer these kits at $335 without fittins and the normal $399 with fittings. i dont really give a **** about making money, I just wanna see Chris get his car up and running again. So thats the price , take it or leave it. noone is forcing you to buy these rails. And if some people think they can do better then stop talking big **** and do it. Anyways, I just wanna see some fast custom rotaries so here it is. The ktis come with the following
*** Kits With fittings *****
$399 with fittings and fuel line from primary to secondary
*** Kits without fittings****
$330 as pictured
***Kit with 160lbs (1600cc x 2) and 80lbs (820cc x 2) injectors fittings and fuel line***
$699
for any person that dont like these prices either do it yourself or find someone else to do it. I am not forcing you to buy these, but you have to realize that someone is going to a shop and makinfg these things one by one. The price is not in the parts, its in the labor and time taken out from what that particular person was doing and making an item to serve the rotary community. Thanks to all the supporters and the people that didnt **** on this idea.

all I can say is that a custom made fuel rail, with fittings and brackets for $200 AIN'T bad. Seems to be the norm. I'm paying $250 for my 20b secondary fuel rail.... seems fair to me
I don't want to make the ******, let the mechanic/shop make some money, that's why they're there

Does anyone know if they are still selling these or not?? I have pm'd Greg a couple of times lately about where to send money etc, but haven't heard anything. I want to get these very soon and just want to know if I can get them here or need to go somewhere else.

Is aluminum what "normal" fuel rails are made of?
Is there stainless steel fuel rail stock?

Here is a website that I was reading to learn how to make fuel rails.
" We recommend that the basic rail components be constructed from either mild steel or stainless steel rather than aluminum as steel gathers far less heat after a hot shutdown leading to less fuel boiling in the rail."

Stainless steel also has a nasty reputation of heat soaking itself, so I dunno what SS is recommended over aluminum.  With the advent of modern FI systems that run over 30psi of fuel rail pressure, the chances of "boiling" fuel in the fuel rails are almost nil; pressure surpresses boiling.  Also, the fuel itself cools the fuel rails down as it circulates through the system - so unless you're stupid enough to run a hot exhaust header right next to the fuel rail, this is just not going to happen.
I'd be wary of recommendations this website gives...

TED, why do you have to "machine" the holes into the aluminum fuel rail? Why couldn't you just use an ordinary drill press and appropriately sized drill bit?

I dunno - when did I say you "have to" machine them?  I got no problem with you drilling holes with a hand-held drill and the right bit if you're that good.

What would a professional do? Cobalt-penetrated bits ok to use?
