I've got a set of purple top RX7 injectors and I'm having some problems fitting them in. I've got a modified RB20 fuel rail which they fit into quite nicely, but not with the O-rings. I tried pushing them in with the O-rings lubricated with a bit of WD but they won't go in very easily at all. I don't want to push them in too hard in case something breaks.

The O-rings are looking a little tired anyway, I was thinking of buying a new set. Can someone tell me where I can get some from and what I am asking for exactly?

Also, the plastic wiring loom clip doesn't fit. It looks similar though, is it possible to modify the clip slightly to make it fit? If not, where can I get some clips that will fit?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Mine were side feed sards:)

Killer T has these injectors fitted, not sure if he fitted them himself? Might be worth a pm if he is still about.

New o-rings should only cost a couple of dollars each, and you should be able to source them from any fuel injection shop, or rotary shop. Would be a good idea to do this as matter of course, as if one goes on you life could get pretty messy, especially whilst boosting:p

I would hope they are pretty tight or they wont seal. I used engine oil to lube my sards up, and they were a pretty tight fit. Perhaps you need a slightly bigger holes in the fuel rail? Any engineering company should be able to help you out there, or a decent performance shop - hills would definately be able to help.

Well, the injectors themselves without the O-rings on fit almost perfectly. They just go straight in and are quite a snug fit without needing any force to push in. I think I just think the O rings need to be either newer/softer or just a tiny bit smaller. I'll take the lot in to an injection shop and see if they can help me with the plugs as well.

Anyone got any shop recommendations for a shop? Worst case I'll just take it to Hills when I'm ready to get it fitted, but for this simple stuff I'd rather do as much as I can at home. I'm pretty sure I can fit the whole thing myself as long as I get the O rings and wiring sorted. Should save an hour or 2 on labour at the workshop :D

I've got a front-facing plenum. This is the only reason why I bothered with the top-feed injectors really, I've heard it's a major pain in the arse to fit top-feeds under the stock plenum.

I didn't modify it, I bought it pre-modified :cool: I'll take some pics this weekend. I will also draw up some plans for anyone wanting to do the same mods to an RB20 fuel rail. You'll need to cut the metal fuel return line off plus the mounting brackets, and put on 2 new ones of a different length.

From looking at it, I wouldn't want to work it all out myself before modifying. With a plan done up, it looks like it'll take a few hours with some sheet metal and an oxy welder. Less if you're good at welding.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
