Jon89le Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 Is there anything i should know about putting my injectors to the fuel rail? I just had the injectors balanced so i need to reinstall them. Do i just put the injector and O-ring in? Should i lube the O-rings with anything? Thanks.

Jon89le Posted September 15, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 Im looking for help on installing the injectors to the intake also. The motors a 3.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 I just did this to my 3.1...It's a good idea to get new O rings, and DEFINETLY coat the O rings with a little bit of oil using your fingers. I was unable to get the injectors to seat right until I did this. Oil the O rings that go into the intake also. Then just make sure the clips that hold the injectors to the fuel rail are seated and tight. After the fuel rail has all the injectors assembled, carefully place it on the manifold so that all 6 injectors are nicely lined up near the holes, then give it a little push down, then tighten the 4 8mm bolts in a criss-cross manner. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 BTW how expensive is balancing, and what does it exactly do to the injectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon89le Posted September 15, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 Alright, thanks a lot man. The balancing wasnt that much. Normally if your injectors are fairly good it will only cost about $160. My #6 injector was shot so i had to buy a new one which raised my grand total to $212. Basically what it does is that it better matches each injector so that they are all flowing at almost 100% equal rates. They match each injector to within 2% of eachother or something around there. Having the process done is way cheaper than buying new ones and they will perform even better than new. I got their number from someone on the 60ºV6 board. Heres the companyhttp://www.injector.com/index.htm They are outa CT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 ahh, you should have said something, I have a whole set of 6 good used injectors, I would have sent you one instead of buying new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon89le Posted September 15, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 ahh damn, well its alright still because 212 is still WAY cheaper than getting 6 new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 $160 :?: :?: :?: :?: There's a guy in my town that charges $10 per injector. That includes cleaning and recalibrating them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
