Topic: Got myself some 19lb injectors.

[dexetr30]

I got myself some 19lb injectors from ebay. I paid $32.00 for a set of 8 and that includes s/h. Not a bad deal. I won them yesterday and they should be shipping soon. Anything I should know prior to puting them in?

dexetr30.  Take Pics and do a writeup on the install.  I am very curious on how this goes in and the what kind of benefits are achieved.

So that means you can sell the other 4 and charge $16...

New injectors? If not, check the O-rings for any signs of distress or damage. Cheap replacement now, vs. leaks later...  :)

Putting them in is not that hard at all. New o rings will help. Just try to clean any dirt or grime that has built up on the intake. I used a little bit oil on the rings to help them slide into the rail. Then just kind of hold the rail in place and tighten the hold down bolts. Turn the key to pressurize the system and see if they leak from the rail then start it up and see if they leak at the intake. One thing I did after was to put a can of Seafoam in the gas tank. Since mine were used and sitting for a while i wanted to try to clean them out.

I can say this last weekend I drove about 500 miles to get my kid. All freeway driving. I have drove this before and I got about 16 MPG. Also there were a few hills that I had to downshift into 4th gear to get up. this time I got 19 MPG and no downshifting at all. So I am sold on them.

Good luck

They are used injectors. They have about 50 thousand on them and are from a 2000 mustang GT. I planned on replacing the O rings. Also, I'll plug each one in and check the spray pattern on them before they get installed. Thanks for the advice guys.

Well, I got a smelly box in the mail today.  (check went out today, btw)

I looked iver the injectros and they are a bit durty but otherwise look good.  The gaskets look pretty good actually since the dirt never made it to the gaskets.  Looks like they could be just cleaned up and thrown in.  Did you check these?  They sure are fragrant.

I've got to read through thsi thread again to see what I need to do to prep for the install of these bad boys.

Also, keep in mind that some MAP's are wider then others.  This has to do with the lose tollerances used with them.

Where are you getting the O-rings from?  I just cleaned mine up and one was torn.  It was an upper.  The lowers look pretty good though.

Oh and how are you supposed to take the 'brown cap' off the injector to take the seal out.

Looks like these O-rings will work but damn, some of the kits out there costs as much as my injectors did,  

Actually looks like these might be better since they have the seals and the )-rings along with the seat.

Let me know how yours turns out.

Sorry Jeffy, didn't get a chance to check them like I said. It's a crap shoot on both ends. Lol, you're the second one to recieve that same smelly box in the mail. I had one torn and one missing o-ring myself. I ordered new ones (o-rings) from the local ford dealer. I got the injectors from e-bay from a guy who said they were from a 2000 Mustang g.t. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping they work once I get them in. I'm not really sure when I'll find the time to do that right now though. Things have been more than hectic around here as of late... which is why they didn't get tested. If you get them in before I do let me know how they work for you.

Well, likd I mentioned in the other thread, I bought seak kits but I don't know hwo to take the caps off the end.  They look like they should pop off.  I was looking though teh FSM and it say's there's supposed to be something like 14ohms (gotta double check that number) on them if they're ok.  From the smell, I'd better they work fine.  How many injectors did you buy anyway?

I was thinking about installing these soon.  Well, if I can get the lower seals replaced.

I bought a set of 8. Let me know what the ohm's rating is when you re-check the fsm. Let me know if they work for you. If not you won't have to worry about my cashing that check. I won't sell you something that doesn't work. :wink:

Haha, I spent more on those seals then the injectors I think, LOL!  $16 is nothing really.  I checked the YJ spec's on the injectors.  Actually, I should check the Ford specs for testing.  I've got a few ford friends that I can ask.

Ok, does anyone know how to take teh cap off the injector?  I've asked a few and no one has come back to me on it.  They look like they just clip on but it's requiring a lot of force and still doesn't pop off.

I know what you are saying about getting the cap off. They are on there pretty good. I am wondering why are you trying to take if off? Not trying to question you just wondering if there is something that I missed. I would suggest maybe sending them out to be rebuilt. There are a number of places that will do it for 12-15 per injector. That is with new O rings and all. For what ever the kit cost that you bought it may be worth taking that back and getting them rebuilt.
