please help this is driving me nuts lol.

I'm upgrading injectors and I can't get it to fit. I bought a raceworks r33 rail kit, and xspurt 1000cc injectors. First I tried fitting it with the injector collars but the stock plenum fouls on the top of the rail. So then I tried plugging the injectors straight into the rail (without the collars) and it still wont clear the plenum! I'm sure that I've seen heaps of people using the raceworks rail and xspurt 1000s so I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Any advice? Supplier said he sells many of these exact kits to fit r33s without issues. pics below.

To fit the injectors under the stock plenum I believe you require 1/2 length injectors.

This guide was written by an SAU member :)

ah bugger I was told this kit would go straight in. In that case does anyone sell the shorter spacers that go under the bolts to mount the rail?

It doesnt look to me like I can shave the plenum back enough to make it fit.

You'll need a new rail if you want to use those injectors or go half height injectors and use that rail but you'll need to cut down the spacers.

Or refund it and get what you were oringally promised.

I done this before with a cheap rail, it can work, it isn't easy and in the end we talkin bout a few mm of it fitting.. it probably will require some custom welding of shit/shaving to make it work

Should have just gotten 1/2 height injectors to begin with lol

You can see the pipe underneath was removed and brass fitting installed uptop to make that hose easier to get on, and some shaving near that welsh plug, a fabricator can do this easy or if your local you can have this one...

yeah the seller is exchanging the injectors for the 1/2 height ones instead, and I'll just have to take some careful measurements and get the spacers machined down. I dont want to be grinding and welding on the plenum when I know that there are kits that fit straight in and I don't want the rail too close to the plenum anyway

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
