How to - Injector change on a newage blob.

[RobEvo5]

Anyone give me any advice on best practice to do this.

Last time i changed injectors on a classic, I ended up flooding the bores, and ended up having to take plugs out, disconnect cam sensor and crank the fuel out. Also getting injectors out of the rails was difficult, without mashing up the plastic heads of the injectors, And also had problem getting the 'O' rings to sit down properly, which ended up in fuel bypass.

I'm sure there is a better/proper way to do it, so a walk through would be must appreciated. i.e how to de-pressure the system other than just leaving car overnight. Best way to get injectors out of the rail, or perhaps better to just remove rails altogether then change injectors and put rails back. If so how to remove rails and fuel lines etc ?.

Basically any tips specifically for a WRX Blob, from anyone that i'm sure has done it a few time would be great.

Cheers

Rob
Cant help you, but yep i had same issue when i did my old classic

CJ, ftted a new set to a blob at SRR whilst i was there , so i guess he knows a good way to do it.

Well, good, but what about some usefull advice mate

Nothing you can say other than take your time and dont bother putting the passenger side crash bar back on , drivers side cut it down so it just is a support for the header tank .otherwise thier pretty easy to do and hard to make them leak unless you dont put the seals in or the top rubber bits on

Ok, I'll have a proper look this weekend and weigh up whether I'm brave enough to tackle the job. I remember last time saying I would never do it again, but time heals, and TBH trying to get a mechanic to do jobs these days is never that easy either.

I end up spending more time trying to get the car booked in and trying to get the car to them, and back from them, as well as chasing them up to get the job done. And just as quick as if I just done it myself and save a few quid in the process and learn something along the way.

I'll need to get a VF35 fitted as well as a decat centre, and 3 port. But I do have the run of my classic at the moment, so I can take my time with it in the comfort of my own home over a few weekends if needs be.

There top feeds on the newage, so you wont suffer the same leaking/bypass and potential compression lock issues of the classic side feeds.

Found this very useful link which others might find useful. Looks more involved than a classic, and now having second thoughts about attempting this. It don't seem too bad on the face of it, so long as everything goes as it should, but nothing rarely does when it comes to me and mechanics.

Im off down to see Jaffa on Sat for an mot. Why dont you come down & he can talk you through it. Ive changed them on the Evo & thought that was quite easy. The messy bit was the de-preasureing. Dont worry though Rob if it goes tits up i will bring some matches. Burn wagon burn.

TBH I'm tempted to just pay Tone the money and get him to do it, and the turbo at the same time, and I've sent him a PM. But he is always a busy lad and I'm an impatient and a have a go type a guy .... If Tone can get to it in the near future, and labour aint bad - I'm tempted to take the lazy/easy option.

More involved than a classic, but less danger of bore lock with fuel on the newage so horses for courses...
