Heavy Petrol Smell After I Changed My Injectors

[MrKenny]

I just changed my RB25DET injectors to 740cc Tomei injectors. I am having a really really heavy petrol smell when i drive/stop/idle my car, is this normal? its really heavy petrol smell, no joke............my whole house can smell it if i didnt close the door to the garage when i get home........ any other way to make it not smell that heavy?

DOesnt sound tuned properly if its running rich as hell.

Did you re-use the old injector o-rings/seats or did you put new ones in?

The fuel indicates leaking injector seals. Leaked fuel vaporize and you smell it through the cabinet. It will likely to leak or leak more violently under high boost pressure.

the base seals need to seat perfectly into the manifold, otherwise they blow fuel back out on boost, you wont notice a leak at idle.. check for leaks near the base of injectors.

get some new injector seals, and check all the fuel hoses that you removed to make sure theyre tight

If fuel is absolutely pissing out at the injector (but we don't know where yet), it's possible fuel can get inside the injector plug and start a spark that will ignite the fuel in the enginebay.

from what i see, there is no fuel/oil leaking around my injector......but i cant see some of them ...its inside the thing.......

If you paid a mechanic to install these injectors, you should take it back to him to find the source of the smell.

And yes, the smell is vapor. Vapor is the thing point in which fuel goes boom best.
