It's very easy to put together braided lines, the only issue as mentioned earlier is any stray wire messes up the thread in the fittings = chop the line and bin the fitting. You'll only do it once.

Twin feed or single, either way I would be tuning with individual EGT. The cost is negligible and they're easily removed once the car is tuned. I have very large corrections, eg the largest trim is -4'ish% to +13% on one cylinder (not 6), depending on manifold pressure.

How accurate are the sensors? There would be a discrepancy between them too right? What unit do you use to read/log the temps and what do you plug the hole with when you are finished? I guess there is variation with injector flow if the tune is out that much between cylinders...

I have a V6 so twin rails. I just finished making a twin Walbro intank setup with -6 lines to each rail, I didn't want issues with one pump failing and not knowing so this way, and with 2 one way valves before the reg, I can separate the flow to each rail completely. That way 3 injectors will fail completely if one pump goes. I will only have one return from the reg though. All teflon lines as i'm running Eflex.

The idea is to eliminate pressure drop yes, but the actual problem is transience between individual cylinder fuel pressure etc.

twin entry rail goes some way to making this problem better.

obviously you dont have a hugely diminishing fuel pressure over the length of the rail, as the FPR controls the global rail pressure (to a degree).

The thermocouples are accurate to within a couple of degrees - far more accurate than required. Plugging the hole is easy using a bung. There are plenty of cheap logging options but I was using Innovate gear.

The injectors tested within a couple percent before installing, and a second motor with a completely different set-up (not my car) had near on identical results with different logging gear.

I would encourage any modifier to find out for themselves, cheap insurance and far better than relying on (untested) forum theory to tell you where to stick your highest flowing injector.

it's a piece of cake mate. remove the current fuel line between fuel filter and rail. now put on a new shorter line which feeds a Y piece (into the bottom of the Y). to the top of the Y you add 2 new fuel lines, run one to the back of the rail and one to the front. if you are really pedantic try and keep them the same length. then mount the reg on the drivers side strut tower, run a new reg feed from the middle port on the fuel rail, then return from the bottom of the reg into the fuel return line back to tank. easy. can use dash fittings and braided hose if you like, or otherwise just normal hose barbs and 8mm fuel hose with fuel hose clamps is fine too.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
