as topic suggests, just have a few questions regarding the install of my 80lb siemens injectors.

1) first of all if you look at pics "install" and "install1"... is this how it is meant to be installed???

2) second of all the seals or o-rings... the set came with metal ones with a small rubber ring. when i replace the existing rubber ones with them there seems to be just metal to metal contact and no a tight fit/seal, also the when i use the metal ones provided the bolt the is meant to be used to reinforce the rail and injectors is not long enough as the injector stick out more. please refer to pics "seals" and "seals1"

can someone confirm that it is ok to use the existing rubber ones as the injector fit fine into them and they seem to seal everything much better, also the injector are able to go further in and the rail can be bolted down.

3) third.. if you look at pic "Fuel rail" there are holes on either side and one on top in the middle. am i correct to assume the the one on top is the inlet for fuel and i block off one of the side ones and use other for the fpr, or do i block of the top and use the sides as inlet and for fpr OR does is not matter how i go about it.

thanks in advance for your help

the injector bosses that go into the manifold should have o rings. the injectors should have o rings to. was it from "clean injection" off ebay? i got that kit. ps. you need to use a good sealing washer on the -6 fittings in the rail, as mine leaked.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
