Yes. As they're from the same style fuel rails as the ones in your car.

Can you post pics of the front of your car and the engine bay. If sensitive, cover your number plate (or keep it out of the frame).

These images will corroborate whether or not yours is indeed a MY98... The important one being the actual engine, of course.

Yep, "phase 1.5", as it has the central coilpack. So yeah, MY98.

So those injectors you were doing a deal on, in your other thread, were the correct types (for a like-for-like swap-out).

The applied model code's 4th "F" character for a UKDM car denotes a MY98 (but for a JDM, it is an "E" -- yes, weird, I know).

To confirm, post photos of front bumper and top of engine....
Another way to identify the model year is to look at the 10th character of the VIN
"P" = MY97
"W" = MY98
"X" = MY99
"Y" = MY00
"1" = MY01 etc.

The difference in the applied model code between JDM and EDM cars is that the build cycle is different.



UK/EDM model years


JDM cars are distinguished by the revision letter rather than model year.

JDM model revisions (revC spans 3 years)

That's a helpful post.

At last, we can now see exactly where the build cycle for the two markets differs i.e. from the Revision C's parentheses.
