Default How many horsepower can a stock fuel rail support on a 95 civic ex w/ turbo?

I was also wondering if anyone knew the size of the fuel rails interior ( example- 1/4 inch 1/3 inch etc )
thank you

Stock fuel rail can support just about as much power as you can throw at it (don't believe me search the FI forum which you should have done in the first place). Main reasons people upgrade to an aftermarket fuel rail are to either run an external fuel pressure regulator or the bling factor. Everyone will tell you it is not necessary.

Anybody have a engine pic showing what a stock fuel rail looks like for a 92-95 SOHC VTEK? Mine doesn't look stock. I just bought this car from a dealer and am having trouble finding out from the previous owner what all he did to the car. My gas mileage is bad (course it is cold) and I'm wondering if this has been changed. Thanks

Mine says IPT on it. That's one reason I was thinking it was after market. So what you are saying is that mine is stock? Very good! I don't want an after market unit. Thanks

Yup the D16z6 rails found on sols and civics (also on some B16s) look different than the other stock rails you are used to seeing, but flow just the same. Trust me you'll be fine.

Actually I'm not used to looking at anything under the hoods of a Honda's. I'm used to looking under the hoods of VW's. This is my 1st Honda so it's all new. The part just didn't look stock and the po put on a whole DC Sports exhaust system so I didn't know how far he'd gone on the other side. Thanks for the help.
