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

Here is one i prepared earlier 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

    • 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!
    • 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.... 馃槂
    • 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. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
