Hi there,

The O-Rings are in the mail, so next thing would be installing the new injectors.

I have not done this before, so is this reactively straight forward?

Also, can the plenum stay in? Any tips appreciated ..

Thanks ...

Plenum can stay in, just be extremely careful when pulling the rail out and don't force anything or you'll break shit. The most important bit is don't round the phillips screws that hold the injectors in or your in for a shit time, soak them in wd40/rp7/whatever you have and use a screwdriver that fits properly. Once you have the rail out and the injector caps off its pretty easy, lever the old injectors out with 2 small flathead screwdrivers in the slots on the sides, put the new o-rings on the new injectors, lube them up and drop them in. Don't do the caps up too tight either, they only need to hold the injector in and not come loose.

With the Phillips head screws, I found its a lot easier to use a pair of vice grips to crack them off, then use a screwdriver. Very easy.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
