Mot sure if this is the right place to post this up, but I bought a set of 550cc injectors n they were close to impossible to install, had to modify them to fit them n just giving u guys out there a heads up to stay clear n maybe spread the word. His eBay user name is - clean-injection. The item number I bought was 170855484984. And before u all go why did u buy off eBay blah blah, u live u learn, my mistake is ur gain.

Funny you say that I nearly bought from the same people

I asked them a million questions about injector physical size , they told me it'll fit , there was no way the dimensions they gave me would fit

I never bought them due to that reason .

not all ebayer are bad, we have a ebay shop and 99% of customers are very happy. its probably better to do some research on the forum and see what actually does fit in though :yes:

I'd say this would he better in another section.

but, I bought my current injectors from a person on eBay.

based in the US, they were the most pleasent people to deal with, with fast turn around, great communication, and excellent service.

straight fit, plug and play.

as an example of the service:

sent them an email Christmas day here(christmas eve there), and had a reply within the hour.

had the injectors in my hands in less than 2 weeks.

and that's over the holidays.

so, some are good, some are bad.

I would definitely buy from these people again.

Yeah there's always gonna be good and bad I emailed this particular n made these were direct bolt in injectors to replace stock injectors, he sed yes but when I received them they were 11mm in diameter n way too short, when the stock ones are 10.4mm n slightly longer. In the end after drilling out a stock fuel rail to compensate we had to source other injectors that were the correct 10.4mm diameter n length. Just a massive headache. From taking it to a shop were it shouldn't taken 2 hours has now taken a week just to fit some damn injectors lol. Just a warning to be wary of this seller not the entirety of all eBay sellers :)

I had a similar case from a different eBayer

I asked if mine were a direct fit and obviously he said yes.

2 weeks later when they arrived they did not fit. I told him that it wasnt a direct fitment as mentioned and asked for refund. I had to take pictures of how they were different and send them.

He gave me a full refund and even covered postage both ways. I was happy with the refund but the time it takes to do all that was a waste.

Just buy quality injectors :)

I bought some injectors from a so called reputable dealer on eBay trying to sell fake injector dynamicss injectors. He convinced me that they were genuine, only to see that they were not ID's when they arrived. He accepted a refund but yeh a total waste of time. I later bought some ID injectors from a SAU trader and boy was there a difference.

Lucky I just read this, as I was about to buy some off of him next week.

I sourced some from a business on here instead.

Thanks very much for the heads up Marcus :)

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
