Default Injector size clarification

Hi all

Could someone please clarify for me what size injectors my late MY98 WRX (mid Nov registration date) would have - 380cc or 440cc ?

It would appear 440's appeared with the MY99 models but i'm unsure of whether mine would come under that classification or not based on the registration date of it

Thanks in advance

check under the electrical plug to the injector...grey = 380, yellow = 440
..you may have to clear dust and grease off to see

inlet manifold is the big grey casting across the top of the engine
it 'splits' into 4 as it reaches teh cylinder heads at either side of the engine:
follow teh casting to the head but before it gets their (in 4 places, theres a 'plug' fitted into the casting (x4) with an electrical plug into each.....rub the muck away or pull the plug oput of the inhjector (theres a 'barbed' latch for the plug whch you release with a finger as you pull the plug) the remaining bit will be coloured (see above)

hope that makes sense...sorry I aint got any pics

My 98 WRX wagon had 380's. But it also had a TD04 like equivalent year UK cars. As it says above, best bet is to look at the colour if you can get at them. Nearside is easier to get at.
