Hey David, the only experience I have had with injectors is on tom's z20e
engine. That has the rail>hose>injector style top feed injectors. I think these
are like FJ injectors and some of the Merc injectors the list has been talking
about recently.
Anyway, what I would do is trundle down to the U-steal-it and pick up the fuel
rail from an L24 (same injectors again) or CA20. I know there is a few of them
there. The 6 cylinder one will need to be shortened but that gives you the
chance to fit your regulator and pressure gauge. Think thats a good idea? You
could even rip the lugs out of the factory manifold and have them welded into
yours!
I have read that too large injectors can hurt low rpm performance, I assume
beacuse they cannot open and shut as quickly. They were talking about 1000cc
injectors though!!!
