Rail type fi plumbing
Need help here please, Im starting to plumb up my Big block Fuel injected blown engine. But I cant find a good place to put the Y block or the return pressure regulator.
If you have a rail type fuel injected vette, maybe a supercharger, I need to see how you plumbed it and where you mounted the Y block, reg. and lines. not many places to mount this stuff on a C3.
Engine Specs;496ci
BDS blower
BDS electronic fuel injection
Look at this pic of the green truck on my photobucket, its like my setup but I think its plumbed wrong at the Y block and regulator.

Sounds like its easy to do, I have a Y block but cant find anywhere to mount it and the lines coming out of the Y hit everything.
So I can use a T fitting in both the fuel intake rails and one in the return side of the rails, So this wont starve for fuel or restict the return?
If I can do away with the Y block and just add 2 T fittings that will clean up things alot.

Depends on your power level. Mine makes a little over 500 hp. It has 2x 3/8" cross-overs that use 90s and T-fittings. At one point I had the fuel tables rich enough to blow black smoke at 6000 rpm WOT so it can fuel more than what I have. But if you're building one of those 1000+ hp deals you may want to call BDS and ask their advice. Another one to call would be Aeromotive as they are the big name in EFI fuel systems.
