Ok, so Im installing my Isis (Greddy-Style) manifold with the OEM fuel rail, and OEM FPR, and it doesnt mount up properly.
I know I can get the swivel piece, but Im already over budget on what I planned to spend. What can be done to modify the OEM pieces, and manipulate them to work?
If you have pics, please post them up!

Bend the line from the FPR. thats what usually needs to be modified. Becarefule not to kink the line though.

Um, no. there is an adapter that clocks the fpr. Search the greddy mani install how to.

Yes, I understand this, as I stated in my original post, but I am trying to avoid spending 80 bucks on it, as I am already over budget for what I wanted to spend.
I wanted to see what other options there were for modification.

Another option is to shorten the tip of return line by cutting to where it looks to be kinked already and connect the hose from there. This should help you get some room and possibly more options to route the return hose. Just verify there is enough room for the hose to bend properly and not kink in the process. GL!

Yea, I've been fucking with it during lunch, I think I have it figured out. Im just using a little torch and some pliers, almost got it where it needs to be. Next issue is the mounting holes for the rail itself, gonna have to do some modifications to make them line up.....stupid chinese bullshit. LOL

Got it sorted out. Took more bending than I thought it would, but we got it all on there and ready to go:

dont jank something together, just spend the $80 and do it the right way, you'll regret it when you have to end up buying a new fpr and the swivel when you screw yours up

Looks good to me.. Use the 80 bucks for some fuel pressure gauge and others. Nothing wrong with being creative for as long as its not affecting its function and safety. If that mod clears thats all that matters.

Ya, that's what I did; but a mirror image of that. Turned it down by the head.

You torched the FPR? You do realize that there are rubber/plastic seals inside that you could have damaged when you got the whole thing hot right?

Hmmmm I also have an ISIS manifold(greddy knockoff) I didn't have any problems with the frp but i did have a problems with installing the fuel rail, one of the holes didn't line up, had to dremmel out the hole just a bit and bam everything was cake! Anyhow even though its a cheapy knockoff it does its job and does it well, id recommend to anyone that's on a tight budget. Oooh one last thing too i noticed mine had some metal flash in the runners of the manifold too it wasn't a big deal either all i did was grind it down smooth.
