Re: Injectors

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.

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.

Re: Injectors

Who knows. One day I just might dump in some methanol for shits and giggles. I'm aware that the stock rails will flow enough fuel. I just wanted the super cool ginormous rail with "Magnus Motorsports" etched into it. Plug and play saves me the hassle of reaming it and threading it for AN fittings. So, I waste time reaming my stock rail out and threading it. I'll have to buy a drill bit (I don't have something that large) and a tap with AN threading. Then, I'll have to anodize the rail. All of which cost money. I'm just guesstimating, but it might be around $50 in overall savings - which to me is worth not having to deal with it.

Ever drilled something out? It leaves scratches. Again, I'm anal on how things look and I wouldn't want to anodize the rail twice.

How does REAMING something out in the inside scratch the outside? I was a machinist for 9 years, don't start.

You can just say that you paid some extra money for bling, don't try and rationalize it.

Lol. I guess I should add machinist costs for reaming out the rail then. So basically, I paid exactly what you're going to pay or maybe I'm up!

Did you ever scratch something you were working with, say an anodized fuel rail?

A reamer that size would cost about $6 and is used in a regular drill. Then again you knew that since you were commenting about it.
