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.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
