Here is my little review, sorry for the crappy pics, high resolution coming soon:
First i would like to thank ek9.org member B&R Fittings for getting me my fuel hose shipped fast and getting me the proper fittings needed to use it on the skunk2 composite fuel rail
the kit looks like this:
I wont lie, i bought the B&R fuel hose just for looks and i think its dead sexy! The fuel rail i got for free out of a deal so i figured I'd put that on too.
The fuel line went on easy as removing the stock fuel hose, screwing 1 fitting into the top of the fuel filter and then installing the fuel hose with the provided fittings. It can be used with both stock and after market rails.
The skunk2 composite fuel rail on the other hand was complete BULLSHIT! I highly advise against this if you plan on installing it yourself as it is a major pain in the ass. First you have to remove the studs on the intake manifold and replace them with bolts and spacers, 2nd the spacers are not big enough so you have to use extra washers, 3rd the damn holes for the fuel injectors are too small so you will rip about 10 O-rings just trying to install the damn injectors, once thats all done your going to have some more fun getting rid of all the fuel leaks by playing with a combination of crush washers and O-rings of which you will have to supply yourself. My advice to anybody is this: just buy the normal billet aluminum fuel rails like AEM etc... the skunk2 unit also bends if not installed properly which really had me nervous, however if you already have this peace of crap fuel rail like me i HIGHLY advise you to purchase the B&R Fittings fuel hose as they look AMAZING together!!
