Fuel Rails.... Check!

After searching, with no succes, for some subaru injectors (my engine only came with one rail and 2 injectors...) I decided to buy the cheapest I could find and just make them fit. I bought some new ones on ebay, which where cheaper then second hand subaru ones, and started looking on how to make them fit on my manifold. Hours and hours of looking at pics on the internet made me come up with this design.

Here are the fuel rails for my top feeds.

Bolted on the manifold with some really wierd bosses I am not going to show....

...and bolted to the engine. Looking good. This is another one of those "we'll see if it works" projects so let's hope these really are 440cc injectors and the rails are not going to leek. But at least I made them so that I can switch real easy to other injectors....

From Quick and Easy to AAAARGH!!!

While reading on how to make fuel rails I 'discovered' catch cans. When I pulled my engine apart I was really unhappy with al the dirty oil in the turbo and when I read that a catch can can catch that oil I thought I needed one. Or two actually. Of course you can buy them but I think they are kind of expensive for what they are, so I decided to build my own. A catch can is a very simple device, so I thought that making 2 of them would be quick and easy.... Well, I was wrong. It took me 6 freakin' days to build them. No, they didn't turn out to be complicated and it didn't take me hours and hours, it just didn't go smoothly. The 2 holes for the bracket for instants took (the machine) 4 hours to drill. Going to 7 different shops all across town to get the little fittings and then to find out I bought the wrong ones just after the shop closed, didn't help either. Well I can go on like that but I wont. I still need to finish the fuel rail, coolant tank and swirl tank. So I'll just lie to myself and say it all went super smoothly.... :D

Hmmm...

Fitted the watermanifold. Fits great but after I cleaned some of the coolant lines I found out they kind of don't fit anymore. Doh. Well, if it wasn't that funny I could've gotten upset :D At least now I now why everybody else has the watermanifold kick out in a straight line.... No worries though, I might get the coolant lines to fit and probably I'm not even going to need them seeing as I need to redirect all the cooling and breather lines.
Also fitted the intake manifold for haha's and man, is there way to much red..... Luckily I'm out of red paint. Need to fit the fuelrails on the manifold first before I can install it. So much for the little update. Hope to be able to put some real hours in this project next week.
