heya,

got a quickie for ya's

Installed 6x 550cc Siemens injectors into my rb26dett

The injectors came with 2x orings up top and 1 grommet down bottom.

For installation, does 1 oring go inside the fuel rail when slipping in the injector, and the other oring sits outside? ie squeezed between fuel rail & injector?

creates an inner seal inside the fuel rail with oring

creates an outer seal between injectors and rail.

is this correct? or is only 1 oring used (inside the fuel rail)

I have the seimens 550s. Mine came with a large single o-ring at the top, a couple of which leaked after a short while. When i pulled them to check they had torn. Replaced all six with the factory o rings pushed down to the bottom of the mounting area, and they have been perfect since.

thank you.

I used a little bit of degreaser on the orings to help slide them in ok.

One oring at the top inside to create an internal seal, another lowered onto the injector body to create an external seal where the injector body meets to fuel rail

orings were the same size tho. no big deal. once tightened down with the 2 fuel rail bolts it seems ok.

Havent fired it up yet, working on fuel system atm

(surge tank, braided fuel line, external 305lph walbro, internal gtr pump, + just finishing off radiator upgrade & oil filter relocation kit)

awaiting a $15 gtr remap chip, then will try firing up the engine

thanks again for the advice

quickie

with the injectors installed being 550cc, and dead stock ecu...

the car "shouldnt' start, right?

it may start but be very very rich. If it doesn't start it would have already fouled the plugs.

careful with the grease used, it must tolerate petrol. pulled my fuel rail off the other day and the injectors were siezed in place, the grease had broken down.

next time just wd40 for me

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
