Question: Ford guy needs some duramax clarification.

[derrick63]

Hello,

I've been lurking most of the year (you guys have some awesome tech going on over here), and I finally decided to post.

I've just got a simple quesiton about dmax fuel rails. I'm on the hunt for one that has 1 input and 5 outputs.

I was told that I should be looking for an LB7 rail but when a guy dug one up at the wrecking yard it had 1 input and 4 outputs.

The best I could come up with is a rail from an LLY. I can't seem to find if it is the driver or passenger side that has the 5 outputs though.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

All my google searches come up with a pic of a rail from PPE that is correct but a little outside of the budget I'm working in.


Any help would be awesome.



Thanks in advance.

What kind of project you got going on? Sounds like you have something creative up your sleeve.

There's a vedor over on a couple of the ford sites that I hang out on that came up with a dual fueler setup using a belt driven duramax cp3 in conjuction with our stock siemens K16 pumps.

The CP3's fit real nice in our primary alternator location.

The rail is used to blend the fuel coming from both pumps and send it out to the heads.

Basically, I'm gathering all the parts I can before I need to purchase the controller.

What injection lines do you use? Have any pictures?

Custom lines need to be bent $$$
But that is the biggest expense of the setup.

I don't have any pics but here are a couple of his customer's trucks.

The puller in the second link obviously doesn't have the CP3 mounted in a spot that would work well on a street truck, but the setup still works the same.

I know the lbz has 1 manifold that has 5 taps on it also i can only guess its the drivers side also as i have an lb7 motor

Thanks for the info!

That'll give me some more options.

Well I found an LBZ rail on the opposite end of the country from me. The price(even with shipping)was well below what I was looking to spend, so I couldn't pass it up.


Again, thanks for all of the help!!!!
