injector install

[snackpack]

Going to replace my injectors tomorrow, and I was wondering if there are any special tools I will need. Any tips and pointers would also be great!!!

Or would it be best to just have a shop do it?

Thanks

Easy as cake. I'll suggest a fuel line disconnect tool, to unhook the fuel lines onthe passenger side near the rear of the blower. I'd remove the 4 fuel rail bolts 2 on each side, then pull the fuel rail off and pull out the injectors. You may need to remove some the the vac lines on the driverside. Pretty simple install.

do i need to anything with the fuel pressure?

you can bleed it off on the fuel rail, passenger side. there's a black cap that you screw off then hold down the valve.

do you realize that the car shouldn't be driven without retuning? (or at least a temp tune to get you to the dynotuner)

Not so simple, requires tune. Didn't consider that. Still a ways down the road for me, but good info.

I've got the tune in my predator just waiting to be installed. So that I have covered

Put a tiny tiny bit of silicone lubricant on the injectors O-rings so that they slide in better without risk of damaging them.
