So I have a new sard fuel reg, fuel rail and dekka 840cc injectors for an E85 setup...

its a dual entry fuel rail, I can either run it as a stock setup and block the centre return, or run dual entry with the centre return going to the fuel reg.

but is it ok for my to use a Y splitter to supply either end of the fuel rail or do I need a two pump fuel setup to supply either...

Im thinking it will be fine using a splitter as surely either way wouldnt change fuel pressure at all but just thought I would check before I get all the lines made up and install it all...

I did a search but couldnt find this scenario

on a related topic, has anyone made up their own braided lines with speedflow fittings or do people usually get someone else to make up the lines?

how hard is it to do yourself?

any special tools required?

or do I just get someone experienced to make up the lines?

Any cheap good place to get fittings and line from?

With the amount of flow you will need for the E85 it's worth the few extra bucks to pop in a t piece or y piece and run the extra line to the front of the rail... It dosn't have to be a billet alloy- cnc machined- aerospace y piece... a plain steel or bronze T piece will do.

J.

In high flow applications IE E85 + big horsepower using big injectors etc, it's pretty easy to see how there would be a substantially pressure drop over the length of the rail. especially since our engines are long (comparatively)

I will say that Dual Entry is Better.

Necessary, I can't say but I'm certainly doing it with mine, HKS rail, fed from both ends with the FPR in the centre mount point.

When I referenced E85 I did so because generally the flow required for this type of fuel is far greater then in petrol applications generally ~30% more.

think about it,

Fuel comes in one end at pressure, but is being drawn out by 6 Injectors one after the other, by the time the fuel reaches the other end, you can see how there would be a pressure drop.

As for what pressure you should run, talk to your tuner.

i would get someone to put the fittings on the hose for you, i watched you tube videos on how to do it and looked piss easy, gave it a go and ended up screwing the thread on the fitting, but that was my first time trying it though, but thought much less frustrating to get someone else to do it

I agree word for word.

Its not as bad as you think. The pressure is the same from the regulator back as that is the point from which the pressure is controlled. You would only get a pressure drop if your fuel system cant keep up with fuel usage. If that is the case then you would notice that on the dyno as it would lean out.

We run a single entry/exit rail on our car with methanol and 2000cc injectors and its fine. We used to run a dual entry but its just extra lines and fittings and ultimately not really necessary from what I can tell.

This more so is tru. Given the restriction (regulator) is creating pressure for the injectors, all pressure inside the rail should be equal as long as your pump can deliver.

Well in my post I said it may not be necessary but given what I know I feel it would be beneficial but I'm not going to preach on about it, there will always be some sort of pressure drop, you are also helping your pump by working it less.

Remember that there is still only one line from the pump to the rail, so the pump can only flow what it can get through that first single pipe.

Perhaps it will distribute the fuel better then a single feed I'm jot going to argue that. But you aren't going to get more flow, or if you do it won't be a great deal

And you will not save your pump wear either, it is still restricted by the fuel reg no matter if you have 1 feed or 20 feeds

Not entirely true. U wont notice a lean out on the dyno if its slight and only the rear cylinders. Best way to check is with individual exhaust runner temperatures.

I agree that it is unecassary to run a twin entry but if he already has all the gear it wont hurt to fit it.

I think I'll run the dual entry setup, may as well its one extra line and a y-splitter...

how hard is it to install egt sensors for each runner for extra tuning info?

would it be worth it?

I plan on getting a wideband afr, but thought egt for each runner as well might help.

hmmm Im just running stock manifold, im guessin drilling into the cast manifold runners to insert a sensor aint a good idea either.....

ok just wideband afr guage it is then.... now to figure out where to fit all these guages on the dash, (4x defi - oil temp & pressure, water temp and boost plus the wideband afr...)

thanks everyone for the responses...

Yeh im not saying to not do it, I run a dual feed setup myself on the road car because im running two pumps. I get the idea behind it but havent read, seen or heard of a necessary benefit from it, so the point becomes more a preference as both ways work perfectly fine.

Im referring to a slightly harsher lean out. I didnt mean in a slight amount because of the pressure drop across the rail from front to back which is what i think you may be thinking of.

Yes egt's for each runner would be a good way to check that but not everyone has them or a common use for them especially on a road car, though I also have one for each runner on mine lol.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
