aftemarket fuel rail help

i sent my standard fuel rail off to jenvey dynamics for them to make me a stronger one
have had to send it back twice n then i got it agen it wernt right agen because the o rings wernt the right side but got some my self anyway


connected it all up today but it just doesnt seem to want to stay runnning
it isnt as thick as the original standard fuel rail but told this woudnt make any problems

also told by them i wouldnt need the small air hose connecting to it as i cud just put a bung in and it will run fine
u can tell it wants to run but doesnt seem too ,
the faster i push the accelerator pedal the more it wants to start up, like its being starved?

baffled?
anyone had an aftermarket fuel rail b4?
any adjustments needed to it,

is the pressure regulator still on the fuel rail or did they remove it? if they did i bet that would be the problem

as gedis said if they removed the pressure regulator on the fuel rail u will need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator

you can buy fuel rails off the shelf ?? show us some pics

i got a nice mk1 fuel rail

the little rubber tube i have my finger on comes from the inlet manifold under the solenoid vavle thing and onto the fiel rail, is this what you mean????
it is also just a hollow tube with a metal connector either end

that pipe should go to the fuel pressure regulator were ever it is now ?



steve

doesn't look like there is one to me, is there anything connected to the other end of the fuel rail or is it just a hose that's connected to the fuel return pipe? if so, you need a fuel pressure regulator

does anyone have one of these for sale????
il fone the company back n see wot they say

this is what you need dont go for the cheaper ones your car wont run right at all without a fpr this is fitted inline with the return side of the fuel rail set base rail pressure to 36psi with stock throttle body or 40psi with 55mm or larger


steve

is this all i will need???
dont no wot to do you see
has anyone used one of these before????
there is a few cheaper on ebay but i dont know

that is all u need as steve said.
uv removed to standard fuel pressue regulator and it needs to be replaced.
y wud fuel want to go into ur injectors when its got an easy straight path back to the tank...

i dunno it mite get lonely lol
i no i ment this actual fuel pressure regulator, ive not seen them in action but ive read the spec and that just wonderin wether the item have everything u need to fit, no more connectors and that

another question i have is

does it matter which end i put the inlet an return pipes on
i.e the fuel having longer to travel????

the flow and return pipes are different sizes i believe. i would imagine without looking that the largest wud be the flow from the pump and the small the return to the tank.

regarding fittings it all depends wot fittings ur fuel rails got and wot comes with the afpr, buy the reg then see wot fittings u need tbh. sard are ment to be the dogs bollocks...

i wouldent use anything execpt sard or aeromotive the cheap ones are shit steer well clear unless you want a fire buy the regulator then you will prob need a lil reducer on the last fuel line as the one going onto regulaotr will be bigger than gti return line use push and jubilee clip connections dont go reying to make dash fittings if you dont know what your doing

and make sure its fuel line not water or oil has to be for petral will have it written on it
