I started looking into my 4 port head today, i do not have a fuel rail, and i know i need a custom one made, or a stock 4 port fuel rail since the 8 port fuel rail will not work on the 4 port as we all know, BUT, i noticed something, on the lower intake mani for the 4port, the mounting points for the fuel rail sit up pretty high, it almost looks as if the 4port fuel rail will touch the IACV unit on the upper intake manifold, does anyone know if this is true? because i am 99% sure that the upper intake mani is the same on 8 and 4 ports, and the IACV unit is in the same position.

so heres my question. do i need to remove the IACV to run the 4 port fuel rail, or will it clear just fine?

also, does anyone have a 4port fuel rail, or know where to get one?

and lastly, im thinking this is the most reasonable easy way to get this all working... I mount the 4port lower mani to my "8 port" upper mani, leave the IACV on, and take it to a shop of some sort, and have them make me a cnc rail that will mount in perfectly and clear the IACV, and also have -an fittings put on both sides, since my FPR side is already -an and then do the other side with an -an fitting and run a line from it to the fuel filter.

What do you guys think?

Thanks

You don't have to touch the IACV. The upper mani and all of the idle control stuff is the same between the 4 port and 8 port.

custom is about the only thing that wont require you to ship from over seas unless someone state side has one laying around.

This is a long shot, but the KA24E fuel rail looks SIMILAR. I don't know if it'll fit but if you have one laying around to test that would be cool. If you don't have one don't go out of your way haha.

Pretty sure I offered my help the last time you were looking for 4 port parts.

I found a guy selling the complete intake manifold, waiting for him to write back on a price.

I know you only need the fuel rail but when somebody wants to sell a manifold they aren't going to sell just the fuel rail. I can send you just the fuel rail if you want as I can powder coat the intake mani so we can probably work something out. As before hit me up via email and we can discuss this further.
