^ haha all good :)

The thread did digress a little - DW Top Feed Injectors I haven't had experience with, however it does look like re-manufactured Bosch injectors... Similar to other top feeds.

I have DW 1200cc top feed injectors in my GTR and used to have in my Gts-t... Both idle like stock and work very well for economy and power! I had some DW 770cc top feeds in my old RB20 as well, also perfect.

I know a few people who have also jumped from Bosch 2000cc injectors after having issues with idle and them blocking over to DW 1200s and now having no issues at all

Yeah, but to be fair, DW 1200cc and the Bosch 2000cc are basically the same technology bracket, and the 2000s are just far too big for most applications.

Defending the DW 1200s is a bit off topic when the criticism raised against DWs was specifically against the old side fed shitters.

REVIVAL OF AN OLD THREAD!

Is anyone running the 950cc injectors? I asked my tuner today just waiting for a response.

Has anyone had any experience with these since this thread last died off?

side feed or top feed?

Sorry!

Side feed - I'm trying for the stock look with ease of installation.

don't do it, you'll want to stab yourself in the eye afterwards.

Just go top feed, 1/2 height ones fit under the plenum nicely and you can get all black fittings rail etc.

I can appreciate that top feed are good and all but I don't want to have to hand the tuner a kit and say "Here you go, piece it together for me" I'm just worried something could go wrong (I guess most tuners should be capable though?)

11mm rail with adapters?

Fake Sard reg?

There are better ways to convert to top feed using a 14mm rail and shorter half height injectors. ;)

Scott, I'll message you later tonight to discuss if you have some free time.

lol what a hater, I gave you measurements for nothing :)

I use a Turbosmart FPR1200 anyhow. Got that Sard FPR free so I used it.

Its very easy 14mm aeroflow rail with short spacers, 1/2 height xspurt injectors, reg, few fittings and hose and done. For around the $1000 mark you will have everything you need to drop straight in.

But yeah talk to Scott and he will get you everything you need to drop straight in for good price.

    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity.
    • 100% the factory sender is tapered, that is how it seals (well, that and teflon paste or tape)
    • Thanks folks - I've saved a few links and I'll have to think of potential cable/adapters/buying fittings. First step will be seeing if I can turn the curren abortion of a port into something usable, then get all BSPT'y on it. I did attempt to look at the OEM sender male end to see if it IS tapered because as mentioned you should be able to tell by looking at it... well, I don't know if I can. If I had to guess it looks like *maybe* 0.25 of a mm skinnier at the bottom of the thread compared to where the thread starts. So if it is tapered it's pretty slight - Or all the examples of BSPT vs BSPP are exaggerated for effect in their taper size.
    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
