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.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
