Any good for boosted b16 engine? What are the pro's and cons?

 

i made 565 with one on my old setup. they seem ok but i would go with a golden eagle. it flws more and looks nicer!!

 

I can get a str for a nice price. But what does it do? Raise the pressure and creates a better flow?

 

pressure doesnt raise. it just flows more volume compared to stock

 

Was the fuel regulator port untapped (no hole) when you got yours? Mine looks like I have to drill a hole ...

Can you show me a chart that shows how the GE one flows better than the str one? or are you going by word of mouth?

chris

 

i am going bu the diameter of the opening in the rail.the ge one is bigger. i would imagine it would flow better if it has more volume. just an educated guess not a test.

 

well....ahhh never mind, im not even in the mood to start ****

 

hey how much are the ge fuel rails and can you get them?

you?? not in the mood??cmo'n you gotta be shitting me. I'm sure we can get this thread locked somehow!!

 

ahhhahah..im in a good mood for once..

 

We are switching to the STR fuel rail for our upcoming conversion to alky. In our informal tests, the STR flowed better than the others we compared it to. I'm sure the test was not as scientific as an engineer would do. We did this by pumping water under equal tap pressure in the inlet side and then timed how long it took to fill a 6 gallon container. To me this was a real world test. I'm not saying which rails I tested or how much quicker the STR rail was as this is not about knocking products. I just wanted to make sure we were making a good decision.

Mike, im guessing that might be an old design one anyways. Their new ones have bigger holes then the old style.

yeah, they have redesigned it now and it has bigger openings. Its a awesome peice now!

You must have the GE fairy god mother feeding you information if you believe that str was bought out by inline pro...

Damn I wish I would of been informed of that at least now I can figure out who pays me?? Wait a second that whole quote is false!!
I am kinda curious where you heard such a ludicrous thing?
If you were referring to the same block saver and manifold that is just a photo copy of ours. But that is ok, it's all good.
I guess it just kinda shows you what an Influence we had on some of these guys.
Well let me know if you find anything else new and interesting about STR I mean us. I am kinda curious.

 

oh i thought they bought your designs and molds? my fault.

No problem just trying to keep it real. It's not your fault, I am just glad I got the convo. No Harm, No Foul.
We unfortuneatly never sold those designs to anyone they were taken and repeatedly copied.

 

ahhh

 

Damn, lets drop it. The STR rail can do just as much as ours and vice versa. It's a matter of preference, like buying rims. They all hold the tire and roll, it's just what you like that make you choose one design over the next. Here's a pic of ours.

Specs:
11/16" ( .6875" ) Fuel Bore
-8AN O-ring ports
Place to mount stock FPR
Two 1/8 NPT tapped ports for optional fuel pressure gauge or sending unit.
Comes with stock banjo fitting adapter and install instructions

Options include:
Color Titanium, Black, Silver
Fittings -6AN, -8AN, -10AN

 

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
that hold the tire and roll thing had me laughing so hard.
