Default Fuelrail install

im about to install my own fuelrail, anyway before i decided i was doing it myself i took it to a mechanic, he said that it was a tough job and that it'd be $70 for him to do it. is that even a fair price, considering letting him do it means my car wont explode while pulling out of the driveway.

what are you running that you need a highflow fuel rail? unless you are pushing a serious amount of hp the stock fuel rail should be able to handle the load you are throwing at your car.

Skabone is right, I dont even think turbo people need to upgrade the fuel rail, the Honda one flows well enough.

If you are scared, then don't do it. There's no need to install one anyway, but knock yourself out. h:

In terms of price, $70 usually covers at a mechanic's rate one hour; So this mechanic is saying that this job is easy enough for him that he can do in an hour or less... Obviously the job must be easy for him to do.

The mech would probably knock it out in half an hour even IMO
