fuel rail question

Is the Mitsubishi Lancer ES fuel rail the same as the EVO? I have an 05 Lancer ES and I've noticed alot of things are the same between the ES and the EVO. Please help me out because I need an upgraded fuel rail for my ES and haven't found one yet.

As for the EVO fuel rail fitting, it is to my knowledge that it either doesn't fit or no one has attempted to fit it to a 4G94 engine.

It looks close but it is different enough to cause you nightmares.

To reiterate what's already been said,

NO, the Evo rail won't fit.
NO, the bored fuel rail won't fit either.

Thread cleaned. For sale posts go in the Classifieds...

Do you mean bigger overall, or a bigger Bore?
If just the bore, then how much bigger is the '05 Rail in comparisson to the '03 Rails?

doesnt it just provide more fuel behind the fuel injectors. if so other mods would be the only thing making it beneficial. lots of bolt ons or turbo.

It helps to get rid of some of the hesitation inherent to a stock motor.

They are different with regards to return/returnless but the injectors are also in different spot. If you put the wrong IM with the wrong rail, you will have fuel leaks and in one case I heard of a dude who burned his car to the ground!
