Did the RS500 inlet not have 4 injectors mounted on the front of them?

not a 500 setup, as the 500 set up had 4 injectors on top "ie" same as 2/4wd then another 4 on the face of chamber. Siamese twin injector set up or "wrc" as commenly known.....

hope this helps...

then yours isnt a 2wd one.

4x4 plenum cover is a 1 peice item with a slightly better flowing eblow.

2wd is a 2 peice item, and the elbow is removable via 3 bolts.

No

I would just use bigger injectors than one of these manifolds.

So on a 4x4 plenum the elbow is 'all inclusive'? Mine is definately a 2wd plenum as the elbow was removed when i sprayed it

Just the front of the one above and mine look the same where all the sensors go etc

Why does using 4 large injectors mean your wasting fuel when not needed?

Used the RS500 on P8 Super set up
(was thinking of selling the P8 Super ECU) and just doing the P8ECU 4 large set up with anti lag air 2 air and msn closeloop as soon as can be ased but not using on siamese but the RS500 set up so cant answer (the set you want to use )but 4 is fine and the spray patten / Mapping co can be done easier now days !

Would expect them to be fine and saves you a bit of cash to getting the RS500 8 inj set up
