Best way to fit phase 2 fuel rail on phase 1 engine
I've seen this mentioned by a few people but haven't been able to dig up any pictures or information on how it has been done.
I bought and received some Nismo 740cc/min injectors already in a phase 2 rail and tried mocking up on a spare phase 1 manifold I have:
Note mounting tabs are on the wrong side of the rail
if I flip it around then the pipes are completely wrong
or make an adapter out of a piece of 5mm plate like this?
Are the pipes just brazed in? Could I re-flow the joins and rotate the pipes to the correct orientations? Or am I better off making an adapter plate? Any other options I missed?
Cheers,
Rich

do you want to fit the phase 2 rails , or is it just to use phase 2 injectors? , if so you can get adapters to use use phase 2 injectors in phase 1 rails ,

hi can you not swap left with right and vice versa then flip the injs and caps the other way?looks like from picture 2 that rail would fit better the other side of the manifold with the injectors and caps th eother way.

To get the mounting bolts lined up the pipes will be in the wrong orientation like pic 2. I think the closest to what you mean is pic 3 but with the injector caps reversed, I'd still have the mounting tabs in the wrong position though.
