of doom! not death.

 

ah well ive heard it both ways =P. I'm just now starting on the injectors while at the same time changing my oil and putting in my egt, oil pressure and temperature gauge.

 

If possible, I'd like to come out and just watch...maybe even lend a hand because I plan on doing the same thing next month. Let me know.

 

Give me a call, my number is 650 279-3317. I'm going to be out for a little while because I need to get a few more parts because my guages wont work with the greddy oil sandwich adapter. But ya, give the a call and ill give you my address.

 

Be really careful putting the injectors back in. The rubber gasket on there can tear very easily. I know from experience. It's not fun to start your car and see gas shooting out onto the engine.

 

by rubber gasket, do you mean the oring? I have heard a few ways of lubricating it before you put it in. Is it safe to just lube it with gasoline?

 

I'm not sure what you do lube it with (if it even needs lube), but gasoline will evaporate before you even get the O-ring on the injector.

 

-1 for those green brackets

 

get a new gasket for the fuel pump. trust me on this... your old one will look fine, but after a couple days your interior will stink like gas if you re-use it.

it costs $7, and don't take it out of the package until you install it.

 

russ- thanks for the advice, I'll do that.

So I just finished installing all 3 gauges and I'm pretty damn tired of soldering =P.
I'm gunna resume installing everything else on friday.

All the gauges are working now except for the oil temp, i'll have to check that one out tomoroww.

 

Uh oh, your mods are going to move you out of STX.
Good luck and have fun with the install !

 

2cam - haha i know =(. It took a lot of debating whether or not I should go through with it. I did it because I'm going to be doing more track days now =P.

 

Yea o-ring. I was not having a good day yesterday. I've heard of using some WD-40 on them.

 

Update 11/23 9:52: Just got back from st helena about 2 hours ago and I just finished installing the drivers side injectors and fixed the oil temp gauge. Tomorrow will hopefully be passenger injectors, turbo, and pump.
Also, anyone who is planning to watch/help with the install tomorrow could you please pm me so I can see when you're coming.
