Confused about fuel rail, injectors and manifold interchange

Post by hankosolder »

I've tried searching a bit but am a little confused.

The fuel rails are different between the 1st gen NA and Turbo legacies, yes? Are _either_ of these styles the same as the '95 and up EJ22 fuel rails?

I have a 2nd gen NA ej22 manifold. If I want to use EJ22T (pink) injectors, which fuel rails do I need? If the pink ej22T injectors won't fit in my existing '95 EJ22 rails, is there an alternate injector which flows the same 370CC/min which will fit?

Are the intake manifolds the same between the generations of EJ22s?

all the manifolds interchange between ej22s, there were differences in the later years but all the rails will interchange as should the injectors

Yeah, check using 22t rails and injectors in your manifold.

Thanks, guys. So, as long as the injectors match the fuel rails, they will bolt up to any of the Phase I ej22 intakes.

Some of the first gen legacies used spacers between the fuel rail mounting tabs and the intake manifold mounting holes. This will primarily depend on the manifold, so if the existing manifold doesn't have them, you shouldn't need them.

Hey guys, hankosolder have you been able to confirm this? In the next couple of weeks I'll be starting my turbo build and I need to get injectors and rails and want to make sure that if I get 22T rails and injectors that they will bolt onto my 2.2NA manifold.

Thanks in advance for the help guys!

I received the EJ22T injectors and rails. They look like they'll drop right in to my NA manifold, but I have not actually done it yet. I don't anticipate any issues.

As noted above, there isn't any issue/difference with the rails, they'll drop right in.
