Default Which fuel rail needed for rover inlet on a Zetec turbo

Helping a friend out who's a bit stuck at the min
Any help my appreciated
He has a rover inlet already poss with the Zetec inlet flame already fitted but is stuck on what rover model inlet is needed
He is running ofab at the min so needs to keep the ofab injectors ideally
He will be going after market but wants it all up and running before he does
Cheers




hi ya mate , can you please put a post on Passion Ford asking for the exact rover model that this fue rail came from , no matter what type of inlet I go for , one of these will be needed

Unless I stick with the FRST lot, but I think your gonna need a fair amount taken off the sandwich plate to clear the bonnet and then hows it gonna line up with the cam cover and that?>

Not quite sure what you mean? A Rover inlet uses top fed injectors, so can be used with injectors suitable for OFAB without changing the Rover fuel rail? I.e. Leave it all alone.

Or do you mean he's welded the Zetec sandwich plate to it and welded up the old injector bosses on the Rover inlet? In which case nothing will fit straight on so pick the nearest to it I.e. Older Vauxhall or Alfa Romeo are both pretty near.

He said its been modded for a Zetec head so think its just the ports poss have been fitted so no need to fit the adaptor plate
He only has the inlet and no fuel rail
So needs too know what rover fuel rail too get

Right, I'd imagine he can use any fuel rail from any Rover from the 1990s that used a 2.0-litre engine. The T16 inlets all used the same rail and maybe the M16s too.

Use the rover fuel rail! Or the zetec fuel rail. Some frs boys run the standard 2.0 fuel rail. Either rover or fiesta top feed injectors will fit

If they are top feed. Mod the fiesta fuel rail to fit. Then he can keep the frst fpr.

He can use either the metal or plastic rover fuel rail.
