Fuel Rails....

Which is better ?

AEM for $205+$15 for a b16.

or...


STR for $130+$15 for a b16.


$15 is for the hardware kit.



This is taxes in, Canadian prices....

STR makes NIIIICE intake manifolds I trust they make excellent fuel rails too!

What's the point of an aftermarket fuel rail? Not being sarcastic, I really don't know the answer.

they accomidate the flow of bigger injectors and higher fuel pressures needed to keep up with turbo and nitrous boost mixtures.

ah. Of course.

I didn't realize the inner tube was slim enough to be a potential bottleneck in the fuel equation. Thanks for clarifying boosty, can I call you boosty?

haha, whatever you want, i think its 1nicesi that calls me boostSex, i like that1 haha. boost is cool, thats what i wanted originally, but the name was taken lol


And yah your right stock fuel rails become a bottle neck, once your pressure gets to a certine point... not sure how much the stock rails can handle... Im pretty sure its nothing to worry about with the averge boost on stock internals.

i've been told that stock honda fuel rails are amazing.. that they've been used on cars that have 600hp.. in my opinion its not worth it.. as long as the fuel pump is iight.. then it should be cool... n e one disagree?

in a fuel rail, you wanna maintain constant pressure throughout the whole rail, so each injector sees the same pressure, if you have a hella injector, and that first injector pulse drains your tiny little rail, the rest of the injectors get starved and the rest of your cylinders lean out. But with a high flow high pressure pump, I don't see it being a problem on a normal car. Gallagher just wants some eye candy.

Eh boosty? LOL

haha that's like when Homer had his pet lobster Pinchy LOL ROFL that was a groin grabbingly good episode!!

gallagher mom is eye candy

so what your saying is that with a high flow high pressure fuel pump an aftermarket fuel rail is not needed??

DUDE!! LOL

Nice photoshopping job!

Lemme see if I can beat that...

I wonder... why do EFI cars need a fuel rail anyway? Why a linear distribution of fuel vs. say, a main fuel line that splits into 4 smaller pipes to feed each injector.

the nice thing about the fuel rails tho, which im sure most peopel buy them for is the AN fitting for a wet nitrous line no puddeling in the intake manifold with lines running right to the rail.

Yeah, I can see the use when injecting an additive.

Hey I'm glad you like boosty the thirsty lobster! Feel free to use it all you want man.

He likes walks in the park, cuddling, and a nice warm bottle of zex. Oh yeah, he HATES boiling water, don't even tease 'em about that, he's very sensitive.

aftermarket fuel rails- good or bad

im new so dont bite my head off, but the fuel rail is eye candy and a source for bragging rights. If you are on boost or the bottle, wouldn't bigger injectors be the key to more fuel volume as the rail diameter would only control the psi, am I right or wrong?

You can't go wrong with either rail. But a necessity not really. I think when you deal with high fuel pressures , that fuel will find and make its way almost anywhere. Differences in fuel pressure at each injector will more than like be minimal. I would look into
a good pump and regulator.
