I am making a custom intake mani and I am going to use a length of the RMR fuelrail extrusion, I was just looking for some tips and advice about drilling it for the injectors I want them to seat well and not leak... I see ross machine racing sells a special drill bit to do it but its like 130.00 I only need it for 4 holes...

 

you could mark them where you need the holes and take it to a machine shop along with your stock fuel rail so they can match the diameter... I bet it wouldn't cost much at all.

 

You buy the bit...and after you're done I'll buy it from you for less Just dont mess it up!

 

Pat,
Im setup for tapping those rails.

Jim

 

do it up man, get creative with it. I dunno how far you can actualy take a fuel rail... but what about a inline filter builter in with a swapable element.. guage hole, and a nifty logo.. yum yums

 

why not just redrill your oem rail with a larger diameter drill? i did mine to 7/16" and that is the exact tap drill size for 1/4"npt. easy peasy lemon squeezy.

unfortunately vw 16v motors never came with factory fuel rails.
