Hi guys. Just a quick into. name is mike. i have a 05 civic coupe thats k swapped. My gold eagle fuel rail broke. Due to my stupidness. So I bought a BDL fuel rail and it does NOT FIT!!!!!!I have an RBC intake manifold. I do not know if anyone in there knows why this is happening. I cna not push the rail all the way down ont he injectors. its almost like its about 1/4 inch or less short of making a good seal. Does the BDL rail not fit the rbc manifold? Thanks a bunch
Mike

 

you have the spacers on the fuel rail posts?

 

no with spacers it would make it even worse

 

to my knowledge k series rails are all the same...

 

where did you buy the BDL fuel rail? Was it listed as a K series fuel rail?

http://www.weaksauceparts.com/store/...roductid=18893

the one listed here fits k20a2 and k20a3... you may have to modify yours to fit... otherwise you might have received one for a different vehicle. i would browse www.ephatch.com they have a whole engine swap section with great members to help.

 

You have to enlarge the holes on the fuel rail (widen it out) so it sits flush on the RBC manifold. There's an article on k20a.org, go find it.

Pffft.... noobs

 

what you said is not only wrong b BDL's words or anyone who i have ever hered of trying this. if you weaken the tabs your likely to break some thing on your fuel system. psht ricers

 

Maybe just a mix up in the rail they sent you. Not to hate on weaksauce because I buy a lot from them, but I have a friend that got mixed up parts twice from them.

 

What does modifying a part have to do with being a ricer? Unfortunately for u he is right. U have to make a modification in order for the fuel rail to fit on the rbc. I have see many articles regarding this. Check at k20a or clubrsx!!

 

Boo ya bitch! Go hump your Nissan logo somewhere else douche

 

my bad. but BDL themselves told me it needs no modification.

 

if you have tried to put it on and it has not worked there only two conclusions, either they sent you the wrong one or you need to a make a modification to make it work

 

for stock rail, if you want to use the rbc manifold you HAVE to widen the holes because they dont line up with the manifold. so im guessing if you bought a k20 aftermarket rail, most likely your gunna have to widen those holes too.

 

BDL lies because you have to grind down the damn mounting tabs to fit tightly onto the injectors with a rbc intake mani! Should have just bought another golden eagle

 

i have a BDL fuel rail on my type-s right now with the stock manifold but i used to have an RBC on my car and i had no fitment issues with the BDL fuel rail. i will try and find some pics and post them if i can

 

I'm selling a BDL fuel rail if anyone wants it... (not yet modified for the RBC)

 

I have already widened the holes. do you have a mesurement of how much you had to grind down those tabs. or how did you deside how much to take off?

 

jesus.. on mine i didnt have to grind the tabs down just widen the two holes.. and it fit prefectly.. but i will say the golden eagle unit looks much better.

 

I have a Kswap eg with a BDL rail and RBC and it didn't fit either. I had to double the bottom orings on the injectors to get it to seal. I didn't want to grind the rail because I was afriad it would break later.

 

I didn't have to grind down the tab for my bdl fuel rail w/ rbc in my K bubble my only issue was hood clearance.

 

the BDL rail doesn't work with stock injectors on the RBC. i had to purchase GSX injector seals to double seal the bottom.

 

Thanks, good to know

Fuel leaks = bad

Had a leaky injector seal on my Integra...noticed a really strong gas odor while driving around and I popped the hood to see my #3 injector spraying a stream of gas directly onto the alternator I'm lucky the car didn't blow up.

 

lol that is my pics above i had to grind down half the tab and drill the holes wider to fit my bdl on my rbc manifold with rdx injectors here are some more before and after pics

 

yup the RDX injectors +BDL will be an even worse scenario than OEM injectors +BDL.

 

wtf... my rdx bdl combo worked.. i gota go look at some old pics see what the hell i did different.
