Cheap Ebay Fuel Rails And Ethanol

[ARTZ]

Anybody using those 95$ ebay "made in china" specials with E85...

Are you succesful?

from what I read they are "Made from 6061-T6 aluminum." and they look to be anodised...which seems to be the recomendation for using alchold based fuels

Should i stay away and drop mega bucks on a better rail for just incase sakes or are they prefectly fine

I have a few here, they are 11mm anodised rail kits to suit rb25's. Other than the lower spacer for the plenum being shite, they seem good quality... I wouldn't be trusting any of the Orings supplied. You aren't saving that much in the scheme of things.

This for the 1J? Anything S/H on egay?

I am about to use an Aeroflow rail on my Neo head so will let you know how it goes. Got it for free so not sure if it's in the realm of an eGay special but it's no plazmaman. Seems to fit nicely so I think it should be fine. Quality looks decent too.

yeah for the JZ...but question is relevant to RBs as well as 95$ rails on ebay for them too....

all the other rails are 250-500$ , using new seals isnt expensive and some of my injector seals need replacing anyway

and i will have to modify spacers anyway for the shorty injectors i have,

so considering all i really need is the rail, I would think savings are signicant, i just dont want it corroding its insides out...

Im sure they probably have quality control and fitment issues like everything made in china, but that is a risk I am able to take as its not needed to work in a hurry

Been using my ebay fuel rail for the last 4 years, the last 12 months the car has been run on E85 only. So far so good.
