Default Classic Injectors

Just had a heart stop moment... I have a 93 classic, what type of injectors are fitted to these as standard?

I have just got some 550cc top feed injectors (STI Pink) - Well i assume they are top feed.... Are these a straight swap?

I wouldn't worry i brought some gold billet fuel rails to go with my goodridge hoses for parallel conversion only to find there ver 5/6 not 3/4
So i had to buy some billet fuel rail ends to convert my existing rails

Aye thats what the kit posted above is for... you get new bits to put into the manifold at the bottom, and an adapter to mount the fuel rails above the injectors.

This is the kit:

It looks like CD now does the full kit - inc billet top feed rails! - here, for all Classic MYs:-

http://www.carldavey.co.uk/diary.php?id=72


If so, get that - or have you already brought that £140 top-feed inj. adaptor kit?! If you have, then you do need to get hold of a set of OEM 2nd hand top feed rails from a New Age... Or spend out on CD's own billet ones, here:-

Man, by buying top feed injectors, you've unwittingly heaped a whole world of extra expense and hassle upon yourself

If only you had bought the correct sidefeed jobs in the first place...............

Tell me about it, although I'm still better off so far with what ive got, as 550cc side injectors are 550 quid +... so far only spent £220 on injectors and the conversion kit so far....

Just need the fuel rails (actually pricing up parallel rails and fpr - gonna start crying in a min ) - Why cant this have been easy... seems I have opened a can of worms getting the bits ready for remap

The CD fuel rails are a bit expensive though http://www.carldavey.co.uk/product.php?id=13 - Think I'll be able to source some cheaper ones? They're only a bit of hollow metal lol

Still need to get myself a walbro fuel pump

just read the thread
but dont really say why your just changing the injectors
as changing these will need some sort of mapping, or you will be over fueling the car?

They'll prob work. But iget nervous re. the all important sealing O-rings on aftermarket fuel stuff.

I'd personally play safe and get a set of 2nd hand OEM top feed rails (and save cash in the process) -- it's not as if those billet ones offer a performance enhancement; just look pretty.

Or try API David - he does a pre-fabbed parallel set-up for side feeds, comprising braided hoses and -AN Earls fittings... So I'm sure he does an equivalent kit for top feeds. Then you can just utilise that TF adpator kit from CD to make the whole caboodle fit your MY93's IM.

You'd also need a 3-port FPR ike a Fuelab too...
