OBX Fuel Rail
 
I know most of there stuff can be sketchy (catback excluded) but this would dress up the engine bay a bit but is it a rx8 specific part? Just thought I'd share. Thoughts?

Good luck trying to see it :)

It would possibly be a way to do a return type conversion though

05rex8 02-11-2009 11:24 PM

yeah, these are for doing a return system..I've looked at them on ebay....about $165 for them

9krpmrx8 02-11-2009 11:29 PM

Ah, I didn't know what the stock ones looked like.

They are under the UIM...you wouldnt be able to see them :)

They look just like KG parts! but like 100 cheaper. Nice find

I like it.

You can see the secondary fuel rail if your air pump is gone (just the front edge of it).

Should be nice for someone wanting to piece together their own return style fuel system (like myself....)

Ok so this is a total noob thing to ask but why would you need a return style fuel system? :banghead:

9krpmrx8 02-14-2009 10:50 PM

Just thought I'd share as I had'nt seen this item before. I never actually looked at the stock fuel rail. For a Turbocharged car a returnless system makes life a lot easier. I had to do this on an RSX back in the day and it was a pain in the ass.

2SlOw4JaNkY 02-15-2009 08:29 PM

Why would you need a return/returnless? I have no idea about how the fuel systems work. I don't know much past the basic intake and exhaust :confused:

Bumping this thread up from the past.... has anyone tried these yet? curious what kind of quality these have compared to the KGParts rails.

kdoiron08 09-23-2010 06:57 PM

anytime you have a high flow fuel rail you will need to set up a return line for excess gas...i dont know why you dont need to with the stock, but its not hard to do.. if you do this let me know how it goes..the 9 hp worth the MPG loss? LOL but seems to be a good HP to dollar buy.good luck
BTW if you dont trust OBX somebody is selling The KG parts Fuel rail on ebay 150 bucks i believe..

See them?

Some of us can change them with the upper intake on. :naughty:

Phish806 09-23-2010 10:01 PM

I am more curious on the quality then anything else. Dont want to get thse instead of the KGParts rails if these are junk.

dannobre 09-24-2010 01:16 AM

They worked OK for me...but they needed to be re-tapped so the threads would work properly...

Phish806 09-24-2010 07:24 AM

re-tapped as in they were not deep enough, or you could nto find a fitting to get the line to connect into the rail? Might just go with the KGParts rails.

dannobre 09-24-2010 08:18 AM

Bit of both :)
