I need to chose an inlet route on an EFI Escort, the setup I'd like to use runs a standard carby manifold with injector bungs but doesn't currently have a fuel rail. The plan is to not use a Sierra EFI manifold if I can help it.
 
I see my options as:
 
  • I can attempt to make my self
  • Pay to have one made
  • Use a universal kit - Anyone use one of these on their Pinto?
  • Or find something off another car that may by some stroke of luck have same inlet port spacings? - Anyone know of such a car?
Thanks,
Rhys

Rhys,
 
I've only just made my own. Very simple.  Get a blank rail, drill to suit injectors, then tap the two ends for some hose barbs or similar and atach some mounts.
 
Google DIY fuel rail etc and you'll get the idea.
 
There are a few rails that are very close. magna etc and I was going to go this way, but for the sake of stuffing around, just make one.
 
There are plenty of places that sell DIY parts such as EFI Hardware in Mitcham.
 
All in cost me lest than $50.

Have a look at a e or b series falcon six rail. Fairly close, steel, and built in reg

Yeah, what spigot said, Falcon ports are almost identical spacing to the pinto, to the point were i cut down an EB log manifold and bought a pinto inlet flange and was going to weld them together for my efi setup, which i'm no longer doing at the moment. The fuel rail can be easily obtained and is steel so can be welded and injector choices are huge and cheap. I liked it because the manifold faced down and throttle body already pointing to the front.

Thanks guys, I'll have a look next time I'm down at U-Pull-It.

Got two, one from an EB and one from an EF. Only real difference are mounting lugs and fuel pressure reg layout. Got both to see what would work best.
 
Looks like the one I have is a cut down Falcon rail. I'm hopeful I can modify one of the new ones to suit better though. 
Thanks for the heads up guys.

Has anyone had any developments with making/converting the EFI inlet manifold to suit 2L?
 
I am interested because I would like to do something similar for my 2L turbo project.
 
Thanks,
Peter.
