Guys,

Number 2 injector is leaking on my L24E, probably from the hose. What's the recommended fix?

A quick search of the forum suggests that RB30 hose/tail are straight swap but there seems to be some uncertainty if RB30 are the correct impedance.

im 100% sure they work. also the CA20 items work too.

funny cos my number 2 is pissing, but im getting the whole lot replaces with 270cc hosetails for my turbo setup

Any recommendations on where to source them? In one of the old posts there was a link to www.injectorsonline.com. They seem to sell L24E injectors for about $80 - what do you reckon? Have you heard anything about this mob?

Also, I saw in an old post you had some troubles removing the oil pressure sensor. How did you go removing it and presumably replacing it? Was it a tough job?

According to the service manual, the hose can be cut using a soldering iron, removed and a new one pushed on.

JH, so slice it length-ways with soldering iron to get it off. Then push new hose on and then the screwed down 'rail' keeps it all together? Have you done this?

Haven't done it. Just reading from the R30 service manual. It says to wet the inside of the new hose with fuel, push hose and hose socket on by hand, no clamps necessary (page EF-56).

I've seen them cut, hose slid on, with a clamp

thought I throw this in as well, (when I was researching for my turbo build) not sure if they are %100 correct though

and the RB30 (non turbo) are to small for a L24 Turbo engine.

280ZX - 180cc

L20et - 188cc

RB30 - 200cc

RB30ET - 250cc

L28ET - 265cc Low Impedance

RB20DET - 270cc

RB25DE - 270cc

VG30et - 270-280cc (turbo ones)

280ZX Turbo 280cc (turbo ones) ??? not sure about this one.

7MGE Toyota 295cc

FJ20ET - 360-370cc

RB25DET - 370cc (sidefeed) No good

RB26DETT - 440cc Low Impedance

Just go and buy some fuel hose from repco/autopro/supercheap and cut the old hose off and replace it with the new hose. I have done this with all my injectors as well as adding hose clamps at the injector end. No more leaks.

Yeah, I've done the cut-with-a-soldering-iron thing before and fitted new hoses - not too hard. You can buy an injector reco kit which comes with new line filters, seals etc.

But first, you might want to double check exactly where the leaking is coming from. I've had repeated problems with the black-phenolic-bush-adaptor-mount thingys cracking, so that fuel leaks from the lower ring seal. So in my case, replacing the hoses it made no difference because they weren't the course of my problems. I have a hunch that the busted adaptors might be caused by ethanol (or some other additive) in the fuel making the seal swell and crack the phenolic.

best way to check if injectors are leaking is by spraying it to see if it makes a change in idle... do not over tighten your injectors as the spacing blocks will crack and are quite difficult to find

on my turbo setup im useing R31 injector holders, 10 times better design, alot stronger too.

I'm still using the MR30 injector holders on my turbo L24, MAG86, do you have some picture you can put somewhere to show me what these look like and how they fit ?

Nigel

Ha ha, easy fix. Just tightened the hose clamp at the top of the hose where it meets the rail. :)

Previous own said he'd replaced inj's 1 and 2. I guess he didn't tighten up the clamps properly.

MAG86, still interested in the R31 replacment though - just for reference.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
