Why did you buy a fuel rail?

The stock one if fine for over 400rwkw, and going by all your others threads your trying to do things all as cheap as possible... so this parts makes less sense than some of the others!

this may seem like an obvious question but what size and brand fuel rail did you buy? and what injectors are you trying to put in there?

standard RB26 injectors are 10.5mm.

i really dont know what kind of fuel rail! sorry its just like a generic type! its got 6-an fittings on both side and middle! im using stock rb26dett injectors but they are loose as hell in the hole in the rail! can i just use a bigger o-ring to make it fit? ill try to find it ill post a pic/link

unfortunately that is the problem you get with cheaper generic brand stuff. often they have poor fit and finish and are just generally not always 100% suitable. as for larger 0-rings you may be able to. try some and see if you can get some with the right ID and OD to make it work. but personally I'd just bin the rail and either buy a proper fitting one, or just use the stockie.

r31-thanks for the nice comments! no need for that! its my car/motor and ill do what i want!

So you either are or are not short of a coin.

Either way the ebay add says 2JZ... i mean, that isnt RB26 now is it?

Sell it, use the stock one.

It rude to question someone as to if they're low on cash, its none of your concern. You posted in most of his threads just questioning his intentions instead of providing any help at all.

He said the its the same rail but for a rb26, maybe the supplier simply sent out the wrong part.

No need to post useless comments that people dont want to read, learn to be constructive.

In his threads he has been stating he is trying to go all the cheap options.

Buying a un-proven fuel rail does not fit into this and is risky, and as it turns out... look what happened.

Might pay you to go back over past threads, as it seems you missed the majority.

dude, your missing the point...

your not helping anyone. anyway its not the first time someone has mentioned something about your attitude in people's thread, you didnt get the point then and you wont get it now.

let the thread continue.

Might help the poor guy develop some common sense.

ok the link i posted i was the fuel rail looks like!!! i didnt order that one/ or order it from the seller! it came from a company called bmpc here in america! it came in a box marked for an r32/33/34 so yes its for an rb26dett! i just want to know it there away to make stock injectors work! no need to bash my shallow pockets! i got the part of dirt cheap! just looking for help not bashing!

and another note r31 i will beusing a greddy emanage to run my car so is that good enough for your standards? or am i still to cheap?

If you got it for "Dirt cheap" then no real loss, just sell it on. Just use the stock rail (you wont like the cost of AN fittings to get it running anyway)

I would recommend really researching parts you need to make the power you want. The RB26 Dyno Thread is more then a page of braggin rights. You can browse many setups and get an very good idea of what parts people are using to make what power.

The search box will save you $$$ and ridicule.

Happy tuning :closedeyes:

if u do use the billet rail, u'll find u will end up spending 3x the cost of the rail itself, on braided lines & fittings

also if u do use the billet rail, u'll now need an aftermarket fuel reg.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
