When fuel rail is not enough...
Which cylinder fails first when OEM fuel rail is taken to its limit? Engine is B16A. What I mean, is that which cylinder goes lean first, usually itīs always the same cylinder in certain engines that fails first. Is there one in Hondas? I know that OEM fuel rail lasts for a lot of power, but the limit will be somewhere... Thanks for answers!

Re: When fuel rail is not enough...
Stock rail is good for aproximatly 400whp. anythign else i would highly recomend a rail. You can get a fuel rail for about 75 bucks. Datum1 look it up. its a solid block of alumiinum with holes drilled into it for fuel to flow through, not really somethign that has to be flashy or expensive just get the job done. Ive used thr datum1 on 4 cars now without a single issue

Had 303hp from engine last year, now going maybe near or over 400hp in a few weeks.. (I think my stock fuel rail will last it, but just thought to ask for case)
Where can I find those Datum1 fuel rails? Ebay? Iīm from Finland so I donīt know all the best places in U.S.

DO IT ON ALL FOURS
Re: When fuel rail is not enough...
Plenty of people are running stock fuel rails with 600hp with out problems. As long as you are staying on pump gas and not going to E85. Your fuel rail is fine.

Oil on the top of the piston is there because of the failure in the oil ring in the piston. Have to tear the engine apart once again...

Cylinder 1 (closest to timing belt).I had something fuel rAIl related happen to me last Wednesday on the dyno at 325whp. But I've been told that stock fuel rails hold high power.

You mean using gasoline(110,118 etc).
Im shooting for 400whp on my engine with the stock rail with a e100 mixture.

Well where I am from you can get 100, 106, 110, 118, ect., ect., at the pump from the local Torco fuel dealer. So like I said... to me it is all pump gas (even though it is not cheap LoL). We weren't talking octane anyways.
