I bought a set of RC550s from a member here, just went to install them and they're too long. Did I buy non-Miata RCs or is there something I am missing? I'm trying to use stock isolator, so that might be an issue.
I would search harder before posting a thread like this, but I have to leave for a racetrack in 36 hours and my motor isn't in the car, broken in, or tuned.

on topic, dumb question but its a place to start. Did you get the bushings from the fuel-rail to head? I tried to put my fuel-rail in without them and the injectors were too long, then I found 3 black bushings saying "wtf are these for?!"

Matt, the o-rings pop into the fuel rail just fine. The isolators fit onto the injectors, but they seem a touch stretched. The isolator drops in with the injector attached, but the injector doesn't sit very low.

I have RC550s and they fit just like stock. I believe you'll have around 4mm of nozzle sticking past the isolator.
