Injectors

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with these Ford injectors - don't you have to drill out your fuel rail to run them? The Precision's are direct swaps.

Yes like I said above, sometimes slight machining is needed. Doesn't FIC machine the injector tips down a hair before sending them out now? Maybe PTE does the same. Anyone know for sure?

It probably isn't even 5 minutes to ream the rail out a bit bigger.

[Halon]

Exactly. Save 200 bux, but have to open up the hole in the rail. I'd take that trade off anyday.

Since I'm running an anodized rail, reaming it out just isn't an option. Brian at PTE informed me that there is absolutely no need to drill out the fuel rail. To me, that alone is worth the extra $100. Good luck to you guys that are going to run them. If you need an extra rail (if you drill it out too far), I have a spare.:D

See this is where you being so god damn fucking picky hurts you!

Run a stock rail, tap it out to accept NPT fittings and get a AN to NPT fitting. No drilling, just tapping, then ream out the injector bungs, take it to get it anodized for $10 and what do you know... just saved $300-$400 from using the stock rail which will flow plenty of fuel, and buying these injectors!

Got the fuel rail for free when I purchased my SMIM. So in reality, I actually saved $100 overall - while upgrading the rail and using PTE's. :biggrin:

No cause you are still spending extra money on the injectors. Drill out your rail and have it re-anodized, then buy the injectors. :p

You are reaming out the inside of the bungs so you won't even see it from the outside, it can stay anodized and look fine.

I'm guessing its so the E85 wont "corrode" the inside of the fuel rail.

I will need to get my stock rails done in order to run Methanol. Because that actually shows signs of corrosion on aluminum compared to E85 after 3 months.
