I am trying to fit this today and have got a few problems.

Clearance of banjo bolt near vacuum hard pipes.

What have other people done about this. I am staying sequential. Seems like I have to remove it and run lines down to the actuators. Is this right?


Injector sealing/fitment.

The 1600cc injectors fit nicely into the rail, but when I put the rail in place, it looks like the bottom of the injector does not seal that well. I removed the old insulator and diffuser from the hole. I read on another thread to cut a bit of fuel line to make a makeshift insulator, but I am not sure where this should go, and it also sounds a bit 'unprofessional' to me. Is it ok to just fix in place or what?


SARD FPR

I recieved a SARD FPR and pressure gauge in the kit. I don't know which are the IN and OUT connections on the unit.



Apart from these niggles it's a great kit. Any help is much appreciated. I have also mailed Chuck, and will post the answers to my questions if they are not already answered. That should make the thread more useful because I have spent a long time searching through threads with useless titles, questions and no answers, and lots of people telling them to search.

Thanks

 

Oh, pics of the rail.

Note Banjo bold left off as there is no room

 

Point of sealing on injector and LIM

 

ive heard something about cutting the leggs of the diffuser and using it. I'm working on almost the same kit as you right now and ive run into the same problems, but im not as far as you yet, but this thread will help me out alot too

 

and..oh yea, how did you get the diffuser out, i cant seem to get it out

 

As far as seating the injectors properly, you can purchase LIM injector spacers from keith at: http://kgparts.com/diy.htm



Fitment is perfect

 

i heard you can just cut a piece of 5/8th hose and use it, much cheaper then 25$ lol

 

The diffuser just lifts out with some long nose pliers (gently!) or tweezers. You just have to take out the rubber insulator first.

I also have heard about the 'cuting legs off diffuser' method, but after staring at it I can't seem ti see how that would work.

Those spacers seem great, but I am in the UK and it sounds like a long time till I can proceed. I have emailed to find out if the ship to uk.

Is the 'cut a bit of hose' method jus putting a bit of hose in, and pushing down on it to seal?

Thanks

check out Part 3 section 3. tell me what you think?

 

I have read that before I think....

About part 3, sec. 3, that looks like the piece of tube does all the sealing. When I rest the rail on the LIM, the O ring on the tip (near the pintle cap) is just touching the step inside the hole on the LIM. If I put the makeshift insulator, wouldn't that make the o-ring seal even less?

 

Have you got any further with this? I think I should be fitting my kit sometime this next weekend. Any more advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated

Cheers,

Paul

 

I strongly recommend getting the shims. IMO every top feed fuel rail kit should come with them.

 

Yes I have it all fitted now. I got the spacers from KGParts. Cheap and quick delivery to the UK. Keith is very helpful.

Agreed, every kit should have these included.

 

Have just sent an e-mail to Keith.

Cheers guys,

Paul

 

I just bent the hard lines to make the the banjo fitting fit in the tight space.
