Golden Eagle Fuel Rail
So my friends and I get around to installing my newly aquired Golden Eagle Fuel Rail. The piece is well engineered but just has design flaws to not make it a bolt on piece or a stock replacement. The chamber for the fuel is massive and will be able to fuel even the most fuel hungry turbo applications.
Now onto the problems:
1. The rail comes with a banjo fitting so you can make it a "bolt on". However, it protrudes horizontally causing interference with the EGR. To get around this, we made a blocking plate.
2. The next problem is the stock banjo fitting from the H22A. It has to make a harsh kick to be able to mount onto the new fuel rail. To fix this problem, we used a D-series fuel line as it has that bend to make it mountable.
3. The mounting brackets that mount it to the intake manifold is too short causing the rail to sit too low. This means the injector clips won't be able to clip onto the injectors. To alleviate this problem, we used D-series fuel rail spacers.
4. The middle 1/8 NPT ( pipe ) port could be used to mount the sensor for a fuel pressure gauge. However, it is in direct line with the IACV. So we had to plug that up using the supplied plug.
All in all, this fuel rail was a headache to install for a stock replacement. I purchased it so I would be able to hook up my fuel pressure gauge, but that didn't happen. Another reason I purchased it is because I'm getting parts that would be re-usable when I do my engine build up. So at the end of the day, my fuel pressure gauge is still not hooked up.

Was this for an H22 or 23?

Re: Golden Eagle Fuel Rail (Dr.Colossus)
This was for an H22. Same fuel rail for both motors.

I wish I went with the AEM rail instead.
