Default Tapping the Fuel Line...ZPI? DEZOD?

Ok, got something I couldn't figure out.... (How about that)

Pros - How do I tap into the tC's fuel line for my fuel supply to the ZEX kit and my fuel pressure gauge?

The P.O.S. is all metal or plastic all the way to the rail... ZPI or anyone who's replaced or worked with the lines.... what's the best solution?

Thanks in Advance...

try to get a hold of a stock rail and have someone weld on an AN fitting on the end of the rail...nobody makes an aftermarket rail for this car at this point so your gonna hafta do it custom.

I'm not going direct port, so, I'm sure there has to be a way of tapping the line somewhere between the tank and the rail....

I was'nt going direct port either on hte lexus, but we tapped at the end of the fuel rail with a fitting like simplyscion said. then, just run that to the solenoid. Works like the peoples champ. And when you decide to not have n20 anymore, you can use that tape for a fuel pressure gauge. How about that.

How Specifically did you "Tap" it?

I'm curious about this as well....

I figure if you can tap it for diagnostics, can you make this a permanent solution as well?

Check out this page....

Nice!

It was pretty difficult to get to that line I guess on the IS, so most people went w/ the fuel reail. There was a spot on the end of the fuel rail perfect for a fitting. We took it off, drilled it, put it back on and capped it until I hooked the n20 up.

- Notice the blue cap on the end of the rail tap

Thanks for the pic.... That'll be my last resort option... I think I'm going to go with the tech page's setup and see if I can get that to work... worst thing that could happen is me having to buy a new fuel line and losing my car for a few days...
