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.

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
