hi, you used a fitting on the fuel rail? I have a a full zex kit but havent installed it yet. Most people I saw, cut the fuel line and used a T-tap. Mighty Mods drilled and tapped the fuel rail. Not sure if I'm comfortable drilling into the fuel rail. Did you have to do that? or did your 1/8 npt -4an fitting mount into an existing location? thanks in advance
I had to drill a 1/8 npt in the fuel rail. The reason I did that was because I didn't want to cut my rubber fuel line. My last s2000, I did that and the car wouldn't start. Maybe I cut the wrong line but I didn't want to go through with it again. Let's say u do cut the rubber hose, one day if u want to sell the car or nitrous kit, u will need to buy something to connect the 2 rubber lines again. If it leaks u won't see it since its under the intake manifold. I like the fuel rail because it's easier to get to and see leaks. A good tip tho, use a drill press. Make sure its clamped down before u drill the hole.
Long story short, drilling is not needed but I recommend it

I'll grab some pics when I remember. Yea thats the whole idea that I can just plug it up if I don't stay nitrous. I can always put a fuel pressure gauge there too. I covered what I can with loom so average guys won't notice the line.
