I received a nice shiny fuel rail in a trade, and am wondering if it will have any real power gains. What else should I invest in to make the most of it?

It's really shiny, so I may just stick it in there to please the ricer in my, lol.

Thanks for any input!

If it's red you'll gain atleast 5Hp.

But seriously....no. You won't see any gains without engine mods.
You got it backwards. Big engine, needs more fuel, thus fuelrail.

So what else should I add to make the most out of it?

And yes, it IS red!

Well, to make the most out of the fuel rail, a nice big honkin turbo, rollerwave pistons and ported head will do real nice.

To make it look better, add a shiney fuel pressure regulator...set at stock pressure.

Like I said, you won't notice it, unless your old fuelrail had a problem. You'll need pretty intense bolt ons to even justify a rail. It's just bling. (I have a reworked B16A2 rail that I polished...bling! )

Fuel rail is only for bling factor. Unless you plan on doing some 600bhp with your d16 ;P
