Alright, did the plenum removal. had to go out and by an impact driver to remove these stubborn screws on the injector caps. removed the fuel rail only to found out that the injectors are bitches to get out. i tapped them out and broke the plastic ends (see pic)

? #1 - Since I broke the plastic ends, are they important ?
? #2 - According to the pics are the injectors bad and need replacing ?
? #3 - Is there a tool to properly remove the injectors ?

My wonderful pictures ~>

 

if anyone still has their stock injectors from an NA and upgraded to bigger injectors, let me know

 

which platic ends did you break?
you can't tell if the injectors r bad just by looking at them.
Checking their resistance and comparing to spec will tell you if they're bad.
also if you listen to them while the car is running will tell you if they're opening and closing.

 

in the 1st pic, on the right shows the fuel rail, i left the 3 injectors in there, shows the top, they have plastic caps, i broke them on the 3 to the left

 

the plastic covers IMO are to aid in the fuel dispurment but i dont see that it would affect performance too much especially since u have an N/A but i have no technical excerpts to support this.

 

I believe those plastic covers were put there for a reason. I'd look for some new injectors. I believe Z1 sells remanufactured injectors. That's where I'd go.

No, there isn't a specific tool to remove the injectors. It's recommended that you soak them in blaster spray over night to make it easier to remove them, but it's a little late now.

And like Rizz said, you can't tell if they're bad from the pics. Get your ohm meter. They should read around 12 ohms.

 

alright thanks. ill ask how much Z1 sells them for

 

got ya covered brother...have my NA motor sittin around, was gonna tear it apart and sell what i can and trash the rest as soon as i get the car up and running, which will be tomorrow or wednesday...they (the NA stock injectors) have about 93k on them, make an offer, pay for shipping, and they're yours...i figure if parting out the old engine can get me a few tanks of gas so i can break her in, it's worth parting out lol...

i'll just send ya the whole fuel rail, no extra cost...just to make sure i dont mess 'em up when removing them...

by the way, sending you a PM with my cell number, get in touch with me or leave a voicemail, can't answer while at work, and we'll make arrangements...

 

alright sweet thanks. but is there any way you can check them with an ohm meter ?
if theyre checked out okay and not defective, ill give ya 60.00 shipped. Fair ?

 

I have four good ones already pulled and in great shape and great ohmage.

oooo, how much ??

 

Never thought about the price, you let me know what you want them for?

 

Does 20.00 shipped sound fair ? oh, and just making theyre for NA

look here to see what parts you'll need to replace.
primarily the insulators you broke.

 

The insulators on the Courtesy Parts page are not the same as what he broke. He broke the plastic end caps off of the injectors. Those aren't available separately.

It is highly recommended that replace all of the insulators and o-rings. The ones that you have are likely hard and brittle.

 

hard and brittle = hellz yea.

someone really messed up my car good. even putting in walmart brand plugs ? WTF

 

lol, yeah my car had that in there too.

 

hey riz, think i should go ahead and replace the efi harness or is that hard to get out if the engine's still in ?

 

Yes, it's hard to replace with the engine in. If you didn't break anything removing the wires, then stick with what you have.
