With the orientation of the fuel rail reversed on the B-series it moves the rail mounts to the wrong side and makes mounting difficult. It also repositions the FPR between the fuel rail and the head.

CUSTOM MADE -12an big bore Rails can be made fairly cheap, 150-200$, but thats including ALL the TOOLS you need to make it. and you can even purchase the hardware for mounting it properly. just get to lookin for the parts to do it yourself
Bored out stock fuel rail might not cut it, but a Magnum fuel rail will provide more fuel than any Lancer will ever need. They are made from either -8 or -10 RMR fuel rail stock. A -12AN rail would be a waste of money for any 4G94 engine. Even Evos don't run a fuel rail THAT big.

this is a pic of a stock evo 8 fuel rail on the top right,left is a perrin. Now given the output of that car compared to even a turbo'd lancer why would a bored fuel rail on a 4g94 even be worth it? our rail already has a larger diameter then the evo 8 rail as proven by the pic on the bottom which is a bored lancer rail vs. stocker ...

I just honestly think its a waste of money, but if you guys feel the need, to each is own

Nice post.

I've been wondering how large the stock EVO fuel rail was.

I wonder why its smaller...

Any physics specialist here?

well i can speak from the design side. there must have been a reason they designed our 9x series rails and the 6x series rails that way for a reason. reason being... i have not a clue, as for im not mitsu, but there must be a reason.

if you line up the 2 and 3 injectors which are the closest you can see the difference.

the only thing I can come up with is the 4g94 has higher compression therefore the supply of fuel has to be there , with production costs and smaller maps in the lancer ecu along with a smaller pump this was probably the easiest way to cope with higher compression in the 4g94 engines,yet keep up with the market at that time where almost everyone had a 2.0 liter in there line up instead of reusing the 4g93 again.

the evo has a better mass air meter with higher resolution , bigger pump ,and a broader/ more complex set of fuel/spark maps , they had alot of stuff they wanted to do with it and alot of experience from the dsm cars ,

more thought went into the tuning of the evo apparently and mitsu saved the cash on the lancer with an already proven engine design and basic ecu functions....

Nonetheless the fact still remains that unless you have a completely built 4g94 with a turbo and are looking to push the limits on the engine the stock rail is plenty big enough and while more fuel at the rail is on the right path a car that couldnt never fully use it is a waste since fuel gets hot being recirculated over and over passing the hot engine bay etc. instead of used when it hits the rail,

essentially given a basic idea you are pumping more fuel with a bored rail back to the tank, more hot fuel in the tank to send back to the rail over and over cooler fuel is better for obvious reasons

, to top it off I also measured the rail that came stock on my 5.0 mustang and the lancer rail is also the same size....

hope that gives you guys some things to ponder

jrr that design where there spaced different is more onto the cylinder head design and has nothing to do with the performance of the rail as long as the pressure at the rail is what its supposed to be it'll function in the same manner as the evo rail...primarily this is about bore size inside the rail and why its bigger then the evo...

if you read my last post I took my best guess at why It makes sense its bigger internally

i know that the manifolds are different and the spacing is different. mitsu had to design the evo one flat for a reason. reason is i have no idea but there is a design purpose.
