You should check out the MRT rails, I'll be running those with a Bosch pump from a Z, and the same Aeromotive FPR.
Head work-What was done to the combustion chambers? Can the chambers size be increased to the 99mm bore without going into the water jacket?

the license plate is so i dont get tickets. as soon as i break the motor in i will be using my own custom fuel rails with -8 lines and a 310 denso pump. the combustion chambers were slightly enlargened to 51.1 cc's, but you can only go a little bigger.
Hummm You said WRX heads, 2.5 jugs... I'm assuming the heads are from a 2.0?? Anyway, what kind of headgaskets fit big jugs and small heads?? Or is the head surface large enough?

the bore is 99.4 mm and i am using custom 2.5 5 ply metal head gaskets. the head surface is plenty big enough for the block. the chambers have been modified a little to match but not much. with modify it it only is about 2 mm around over hang.




nice car
