I think what is more basic is how the EM and injection are designed. IMS,
the eurovan uses the injectors into the manifold ala late 100 10v, not into the
head like the early 10v CIS cars. The design of the intake port is different.
What you need to accomplish this as abolt on swap is a late I5 100 head. If
you are really looking to make this a go, I happen to have one of these heads
sitting in my shop with big valves already attached freshly done from the
machine shop.
WRT manifold, the 100 also sports a 2 pc intake manifold, the lower half
being able to take a variety of EFI injectors. Again, I have the complete I5 100
IM along with the above head. As you can tell, I was thinking along the EFI
line myself. My thinking is that one could graph or design an upper intake
manifold that would be of a better design for the 10vtEFI turbo motor.
So, I believe you will have some major issues trying to bolt the EFI setup
from a eurovan onto a 10v head without the oblong ports, and I believe the
injector rail has a different attachment than the standard "efi" rail most guys are
using. All of which means, your concerns are valid, and you might well find
yourself just using the fuel rail, or even worse, not using that either.
Anyone interested in the 100 setup I have above can email me offline. I
really doubt I'm completing his project now that my RS2URQ is closer to fruition.

... I am contemplating getting an IM and injection system from a EuroVan to
facilitate the conversion to EFI ... then I started wondering if I'd really
be able to use the parts. The ultimate project is going to be for an
updated motor with the new Wiseco pistons and a worked over head. It isn't
clear to me that I'd even need the intake manifold ... and the EFI injectors
probably can't support the fuel needed for a turbocharged motor ... and
there's the fact that the injectors need to be set up to operate with above
atmospheric manifold pressures ... which pretty much just leaves the fuel
rail ...
Has anyone contemplated a similar project and come to different conclusions?
It seems like I should rather set my sights on the injectors and support for
the 5-cyl S4 and S6 models.
