Its -4 lines and fittings from the rail to the FPR and back to the return. -6 Lines from the fuel filter to the rail. The fuel filter and return line needed a little black bosch adapter to join up.

The turbo ive got is standard equipment for a nissan GTR skyline so the compressor trim is 60 and the turbine is 76.

Well it looks like I will start tuning this weekend. I have had many hassles trying to get my fuel rail to seal properly. I even built a second rail that worked with hose and clamps that was a total failure. In the end I got some holes milled in a length of fuel rail extrusion and that does the job beautifully. On with the pics!

First the fuel rail graveyard:



And now the new unit in place and leak free:



Also managed to create the worlds smallest air filter in order to clear the sway bar:

Also "least restrictive". It's just a stop gap for the moment till I work out how to drop the sway bar a few inches to run a proper air filter. Any other ideas? the damn thing is right in front of the turbo inlet!

weird vbelt btw...

I'd find a solution for that air filter... no matter how...

especially because of the turbo... or are they sh*t-resistant?

I'll second that. . .looks inside-out.

Could you work on the turbo inlet, maybe cut some off at an angle and attach an elbow there? I'm afraid that piece of foam will get sucked right in!

Perhaps flipping the sway bar upside down and spacing the mounts down a little might get you enough clearance?
