AEM Fuel Rail Install

[dj addicted]

Just wanted everyone to know that I picked up an AEM Fuel rail from a fiend the other day. I finally got it installed. There is no difference at all in power increase since I know that is what everyone is going to ask, but it does have a port designed for a wet kit if I ever desided to go Nitrous. I will post a picture tomorrow when it is daylight outside. I would have done a DIY on this, the the directions that come with the fuel rail are straight forward and walk you through every detail.

Good Stuff! Did you pick it up from Andy?

[dj addicted]

yeah.. he lives about 20 min from me

[Vertigo]

He had it for a good deal! I'm looking foward to the DIY. I need this part to, because plans of nitrous dance in my head.

[dj addicted]

actually a DIY is not even needed.. AEM sends directions with pictures and everything.. VERY straight forward...

Cool, were you expecting some sort of power gains? I was under the idea that it would just help make sure fuel gets to were it needs to go.

get the fuel to go where it needs to go? your car has a stock fuel rail that handels all the fuel you need. there is no reason to replace your stock rail except or the bling factor on a stock 140 hp civic

Well yeah, but like he said. It has the ports for N/X.

aside from the nitrous ports, a fuel rail is for looks. unless you upgraded your injectors to go along with boost. otherwise, the AEM fuel rail won't give you any gains since the stock injectors are still pumping the same amount of gasoline that the stock fuel rail provided.

yea i agree, w/o some serious revving or fuel flow ..meh.

i like the nx ports tho. very useful for the juicers out there :D

[fsugatorbait]

with the AEM fuel rail, is there a tap for a fuel pressure gauge?

[dj addicted]

ok guys.. let me say this...I didnt buy the damn thing for "Gains" I bought it in case I decided to go with a wet kit.. Also, look at it this way...

If you could buy a brand new fuel rail for 100 bucks.. would you?

[civicSIracer]

no

Looks are what you wanted and looks are what you got! I had a fuel rail for a week as well. Thought about hooking up gauges and such. Nice looking engine bay you have there with the color match. BTW: the stock fuel rail is more than adequate for 550cc injectors and I paid near 400 dollars CAD for my fuel rail. Then traded it in for a header. opps! ;)

Looks good Bryan, I'm guessing it went in okay (you do it yourself)?

fsu, according to some info on an eBay auction (for an aem rail):
"An additional 1/8th NTP port is included to accommodate a nitrous set up or fuel pressure gauge."

I purchased my AEM fuel rail early summer last year (I think). Didn't notice a damn bit of difference except for the looks. Now that I have the RevHard kit and 440cc injectors, it wasn't a bad purchase.

Adds to the Bling Bling factor;)
