I would also like to state that the FC is not the only car that has had Pulse Dampener problems. A lot of late 1990s ferrari 348 GTB's 355's caught fire on their own because of a bad batch of bosch PD's. Imagine spending $200K and it bursting into flame

Hell yeah...I'd be pissed...Insurance would cover it though...gotta have good insurance on that ****.

i.didnt.do.it - Nice write up and great pics. You did a great job!!



I have ruined many sun glasses closing them in the hood! LOL!!

I feel your pain.

Thanks...We're trying to get it in the F.A.Q. so people know how to do it.



And for some reason, I don't think those will be the last shades killed...LOL.

i'm getting an s5 fuel rail (comes with the pd as part of the fuel rail) in the mail soon, i'll let you guys know how well it works... supposedly it's not faulty like the s4 pd.

hey whats up.. when my PD started leaking i was on my way home from work and my car just started flaming from under the hood. i had to replace the engine harness.. fuel injectors.. gaskets.. fuel hoses.. and coolant lines. with my PD it had that same little screw out of it too. I just put superglue on the screw.. screwed it in and then put jb weld over it.. now it works fine and has been for a while and its turbo now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

i just got my s5 primary and secondary fuel rails today... i'll tell you guys how everything works out.

mikee111 10-08-2003 01:37 AM

so far, the s5 primary fuel rail fits perfectly, but the secondary fuel rail doesn't so i used my s4 secondary... i just need to work a little bit more: one vacuum line and intake... i had to stop working cuz it got too late, i'll finish tomorrow and let you guys know how it works

great pics i.didnt.do.it!



I don't know if my replacement fuel rail/PD was S4 or S5, but it was all one piece. Also, the plate that the 2 bolts go through on the primary fuel rail wasn't as thick as stock*. So I had to go buy some shorter bolts (I could've cut the originals, but the threads stopped at a certain point).







*I put it back on anyway, being stupid. The rail wasn't tight, so the injectors popped off in mid-traffic, and dumped fuel everywhere. I'm thinking that the large amount of fuel kept it cool enough not to burst into flaming carnage.
