As the topic suggests im thinking bout putting 13b injectors on my car. from what I can tell its a pretty common mod. Not being someone who has played around with engines much, is this an easy job to do, do they go on without modification, being a toolmaker im sure i shouldnt have any problems if i have to.

also around how much should i be paying for injectors, and would there be anything else i would need.

everything else has pretty much been done on my car/engine allready, just still has standard injectors.

.Looks like I wont have to store this bad boy after all, so might aswell put in some extra power to shut my mate getting an XR6 T up :P

You need to,

a) take the 'O' ring off the top of the injector, and push some EFI fuel hose onto it.

b) remove the plastic pintle cap off the bottom of the injector

c) transfer over the metal mounting plate, bakelite injector boss, and rubber injector ring seal from your original injectors.

d) retune

Done!

the 13b injectors aren't a good choice they have a horrible spray pattern - more like a hose than a mist of fuel. in the rotaries they run with "atomiser plates" that break the fuel up. because they atomise poorly you don't get the full advantage of the extra fuel.....

Ive heard this too. good for rotaries but no good for us.

Maybe gtr injectrors will work?

From what i have been told the GTR injectors are side feed as opposed top feed on the FJ, I have 13B injectors in my DR and is basically the same thing as standard only bigger from what I can tell. This is an uneducated opinion mind u but the 13B's are an excellent and cheap upgrade with them being available for less than $300 for a set of 4.

well I ended up going with the 13b injectors. it seems alot more sources in my research are using 13b injectors with no drama's. seeing as its just a ''fun car'', if it gives more power and less economical efficientcy it doesnt really matter.

    • Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!  
    • While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.
    • Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
    • I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
