Question

Is there a secret to getting the old injectors out of the rails
They seem pretty jammed in there
Do not want to get the tools on them and do damage

Cheers
Scott

WD40
twist the injector left to right and keep sparing the seal with WD40, after a while it will work through and losen it up nicely.
You can also get a large bladed screwdriver inbetween the connector and teh fuel rail to help it out, beware though... too much force will crack teh plastic.

p.s. i could never spell teh

Cool, different matter then

They are a straight forward fit mate, have they been supplied with new O rings?
When fitting, give the o rings a smear of grease or vasoline so that they slide in nicely and dont pinch. only a small ammount though..

I now have the 550cc Injectors, 1:1 FPR and Parallel Fuel Rails installed on my MY94 WRX
This is still on a stock ecu at the mo till re-map.

I have set the FPR to 3.2 bar atmos, will this be overfuelling??

What is best till I get the re-map done?

Thanks

how is your idling??

I would personally set it a bit lower(3bar) until you have the car remapped....

Rob

just read 1:1 FPR, may not be as bad with that Reg.

Funny you should say Idling.................

All over the place, so have just put it down to 3 bar and now seems ok. Must have telepathically read your mind.

Just before I forget where did you get your BRASS T pieces from? I have nylon ones at the moment but need to change them to brass. I have tried everywhere.

Cheers
Scott

RPM Motorsport in Ware.
Follow the 414 from harlow towards hertford until you come to the Amwell roundabout, take the 4th exit towards Ware and it is 1 mile on your left, just next to the petrol stn.
Rob

Out of interest what are you using the T peices for? please dont say the fuel lines

Have already tried them don't have any 8mm ones only 6mm
They can order them but will take some time.

The T pieces are for the fuel feed and the fuel return off the fuel lines. I read the http://www.ravensblade-impreza.com/m.../fuelrail.html

Thanks
Scott

p.s forget email

I have a MY94 so I think it is different. I did not really know what the Weapon R attachment is for.

I have cut the stock fuel lines near the connectors to the fuel rails and used a Brake line flair to make sure the hoses never come off. Then Tight jubilee clips on the new fuel hoses.

You do get a converter for the replacement of the stock FPR in with the FSE FPR.

I did not take any pics. I knew I should have afterwards.

Cheers
Scott
