Do blue/hawk WRX injectors fit blobeyes?
 
Hi All,
I bought some blue hawkeye WRX injectors off of here, to go onto my blob WRX, which is having an STI manifold with TGV deletes fitted at the same time.

The mechanic said that the injectors are not fitting properly, they are 4-5mm too short. He also said they maybe there are rubbers available that can sort the problem out?
Tomorrow he's going to try my standard injector rubbers on the blue injectors to see if that works.

Are the blue injectors from a hawk supposed to be a straight fit into a blob or do they not fit at all? Or need to be modified?

Cheers to everyone in advance!

Yes they should fit, they are the same size

Hi Rob, cheers for confirming. Do you know why the mechanic things they are are 4-5mm too short?

The fuel rails are from my wrx, if that makes a difference? The fuel lines on the STI manifold came with bent rails, so the mechanic had to swap them.

This is such an annoying problem. I really just want my car up and running, and back :-(

as above straight swap - light blue WRX, pink STi or the later Hawk dark blue WRX/STi injectors are all interchangeable

Hi, thanks for the confirmation. Thats exactly what i thought when i bought them from a member on here.
Will they fit a newage wrx fuel rail?
I'm wondering if the rail or something has been fitted properly, which is why there is a 4-5mm gap?

Think i figured out why the mechanic is having probs fitting the injectors. Heres a pic of the injectors, they are missing a rubber ring round the middle! Hopefully thats all it is :-)

Thanks everyone! :-)
