Got to fit a set of grey injectors to a mates car this weekend, can someone
tell me how they fit them . I know someone had a picture of an
injector with the fitting kit on it, any chance someone can post that up???

Cheers

Al........

 

laid out in order aswell

 

Cheers Mate, Just the job !......

Al...

 

Right, went round to fit the greys and got stuck



Ok thats what it should look like yea??

Our injectors have a blue shroud on the end ( not I don't mean the covers )

Am I supposed to pull them off cos I've pulled as hard as I like to and they don't move?

Part no on them is 0 280 150 403

Have a look!




Someone help please!!

Thanks

 

You have to cut them off, but mind your fingers

 

Right so you cut off the entire blue thing so there is none left at all

 

yes slit it down the side and then pull it off
remove all of the blue m8

 

and dont bother with the yellow bit on the end as well as you get a better spray patten

 

Cheers for the replies . Will sort it out now.

Al...

 

Right, I shoul have this right?



Then why do I have this??



The top half seem fine (although the top ring is too small to go on )
but the bottom half I've

A. Instead of a nice snug fitting metal washer I've got a plastic ring which is much bigger that the diameter of the metal end of the injector

B. I have 2 o rings instead of one

Anyone help or have amber just sent me the wrong fitting kit

CheeRS

 

the top pic is what it looks like after the kit is on

the top ring is not to small

just an absolute fucker to get on

 

I know the top pic is with the fitting kit on Craig and thge top half I'm not worried about as a bit of brute force and ignorance will get the top ring on but the lower half of the fitting kit seems all wrong

The pic show a metal washer, rubber o ring and the yellow pintle

My kit has no metal washer, a plastic ring which is to big for the shaft and 2 o-rings?!?!?

 

hmmmm

stu helped me out when i needed a single washer to replace one i had lost

give him a bell top man

 

M8 a lot of kits have the grey plastic ring (which is just a spacer)
that what i got with mine
and the top ring i think i had to tap it on with a 8mm socket
just make sure the beveled edge faces the top

The kits do normally have extra rubber "o" rings

 

If I was a Bristol based Cossie rebuilder - I'd be rubbing my hands togethor right about now!!!!

 

we havent got no bristol based cossie buiders maybe thats the problem

 

And why exactly is that??

 

If you're fitting greys, I'm guessing its a 380bhp+ engine.

Personally if I wasn't 100% sure about what I was doing, I would bite the bullet and spend a few squids and travel a few miles to get it done by a pro.

If running greys there is probably a good few quid sunk into the engine, plus if it was my mate I'd worry about something me messing something up, or damaging the injector causing a melt down.....

If it was a straight job and looked how the picture said, then fine, but it looks like it's not. Hope it all works out - but IMO could end up with a rebuild, hence the comment.....

 

You know absolutely nothing about Alex's or Alex's friends knowledge and experience so kindly keep your snide comments to yourself

Having never fitted greys before and as they do not have the conventional euro clip fitting and we are dealing with fuel in a hot engine bay under 3-4 bar pressure do you not think it wise to ensure that they are fitted absolutely correctly???

I am a qualified mechanic and just because I've not fitted greys before does not mean I shouldn't attempt it, it simply means I should ensure I know exactly how they fit before fitting them.

It's not just a case of sticking in a chip, injectors, winding up the boost and hoping for the best.
Alex knows that, who are you to assume he doesn't??
