fuel pressure gauge question
Monday, April 04, 2005 1:10 PM
ok here is a question.. i read the faq for nitrous and understand that overtime the fuel pressure in the system is likely to fall.. so .. where would be the best place to tap into teh system to install the pressure gauge.. ya know.. to get the most accurate reading?

No, you'll have to drill and tap the rail like the rest of us without schrader valves. You could cut and splice it into the feed line to the rail (one that goes in the side without the FPR). That will give you an accurate reading as well.

Its just aluminum, but its easy to screw up. You'll then need to get a tap the same size as the threads on the sending unit. Very easy to drill through though, just don't drill too big of a hole. (You need to tap it after you drill it, so it has to be slightly smaller than the tap).

The rubber fuel feed line that goes into the drivers side of the rail. Just cut the rubber part and put a Tee in there.
