Subject:I-4 fuel rail info....2d attempt

Hi Bill & all,

I'm working on a Tiico kit right now. One of the areas that I am working
on at the moment is the fuel rail situation. I have turned up rails and
injectors from both a '92 and a '93 Jetta/Golf. They are different but
they both can be made to work. The biggest problem in doing this
conversion is making your own mounting brackets to hold the rail solidly
in place. I've done the '92 brackets and am just starting on the '93.
Both rails have the pressure regulator built in to them. The main
difference between them are the angles that the
pressure and return hose nipples are pointed. The '92 injectors line up
with the head
perfectly whereas the center two on the '93 are ever so slightly further
apart,
I don't believe enough to be a problem though. The mounting brackets
look like
they are going to be easier to make on the '93 and I like the hose
angles
better. I will be trying them both so will have more info later.

If anyone would like to see pictures of the mounting just let me know
and I can email them to you (in a couple weeks, I'm starting a se7en day
seminar this Saturday).

The fuel rail that came with the Tiico kit was a huge disappointment,
especially for us "anal" types.
