    Put in some 17lb injectors today!

    .....and i likely!

    Car runs nice on my M20, slightly smoother and throttle more lively, overall im very pleased.

    The injectors were from a M50, bought the service kit and replace the
    pintles, filters and O-rings.

    Installation was pretty easy, hardest most frustrating part was trying to get
    the clip off the harness where it plugs into the injector plug. Theres no room
    to play with in there so i removed the valve cover for alil more room, used a thin 10mm socket to remove the 4 10mm bolts thats holding the rail to manifold.

    :p

                direct links are useful

                especially shopping service packs with the filter part. Im buying the exact same thing

                      I want to make a sticky of ebay chips reviews somewhere.

                      I can pass on that the rennsport technik chip, the most common ebay chip, for the m20 stage 1 and stage 2 are almost 100% good reviews.

                      I do not own a chip just shopping.

                      And not exactly remembering, the other one that goes for 30$ is crap. I dont think theres 3 in that range on ebay.

                        I am a fan of the M50 injectors in ANY M20 engine. They really do make it run smoother.

                          Completely agree. I also just put in M50 injectors this week. Engine definitely runs smoother. Some of that is also probably due to the fact the stock injectors were nasty when I pulled them LOL.

                              oh man Im either ordering this or im ordering the leather shift boot kit, ebrake and shift knob

                              I cant decide I cant decide

                              Im not sure I need injectors you see. I have that very common cold start hick up that could be a leaky injector, could be some invisible vacuum leak could be head gasket thing.


                              but the leather boot will look pimping...
