RV8 Thor and GEMS Inlet Manifolds
Discussion
Some detailed photo's of the thor manifold can be found on my rover v8 manifold archive:

The fuel rail is "returnless" - whereas std rover item is returned - not that there's anything to stop you converting back.

Cheers folks, I think the only way I'm going to get this to work is to butcher the Thor fuel rail (as that doesnt fit on the hot wire manifold) and working things that way. A night in the shed is in order me thinks!
Can anyone definitvely say that the Bosch 0 280 155 787 injectors from the Thor setup are better than the standard green collar D1830GA injectors in terms or spray pattern etc. My understanding is that the Bosch injectors create a finer mist of fuel, four small jets rather than the one big jet I seem to get from the Lucas injectors.
This is where it gets a bit fuzzy, too much time spent hungover in thermo lectures, does a finer fuel mist mean a quicker ignition and more complete burning of the fuel along the flame path, but at the risk of getting detonation sooner?

Maybe this site will help :

Bosch yellow top would be a pretty straight swap for 4.0 engines
and the pink tops would be the same as the old lucas 'jag' injectors both originally made by Lucas.
The Bosch are much better than a 15 year old design that's for sure.
I bought my Bosch pink tops in USA for £191 delivered :
