Hello, bad news ?

I installed injectors (1000cc top feed) 2-3 weeks ago, All seemed good.

Untill today I did a boost leak test and the injector oring bosses have pushed out....wtf

Before I go and pull it all apart, what do you guys think I've done wrong for this to happen.

Thanks ?

It looks like the fact it could move up the rail is too high.

Need to reduce the length of the spacers, assuming there are spacers.

How much pressure did you apply for the leak test?

@Ben C34 after further inspection i believe thiere is a problem. See pic.20200927_120017.jpg.57000c0be448a6322d8ee8548359a439.jpg

There's a decent gap at the top which would allow it to move up, i think this is the problem. Or am i missing a spacer or somthing?

The injector kit only works with 3/4 height top feed.

I was sold the kit by Kudos motorsport with ev14 1/2 height injectors with height adaptors (short, 14mm) 

So im not sure if I've been given the wrong injectors or is there an issue the the injector o-ring bosses or somthing else.

 

 

 

Thanks robbo, yeah maybe I'll have to if there's no other way. but its strange there's a instruction manual to install this fuel rail kit. States 100% bolt on and mentions nothing about shaving spacers down. ?‍♂️?‍♂️

I'll find out more tomorrow hopefully.

I have the taarks kit and it all bolts in nicely - my spacers don't look like that though and i use the injectors that came with the kit, bosch 960cc

Thanks @hardsteppa yeah I reckon Kudos has made a mistake. It should work 100%. Are you able to get a pic of you spacers/rail?

also i remember during the install; the bosses pushed in but then some popped back again again like yours is in your pic. Had to push them back in slowly (taarks note this in their instructions) for it to slide in and stay in; not any further issues other than that though.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
