1J Inector Replacement Time?

[honestabe]

Just curious, what kind of time frame am I looking at for swapping out my injectors on my 1J? I'm going to be installing a set of JDM 440's.

depends how good you are at reaching into tight spaces.

I would give it 2 hours with the manifold left on.

took me about 45 min. tops with the manifold still on. I just did this last week too.
I did remove the throttle body and throttle bracket

Cool. I'm getting a set of JDM 440's, so I was just curious how long I had to freeze my ass off. Thanks guys.

You can do this without removing the rail.

Get yourself a set of ratcheting wrenches, with a flexible head.

If you remove the ISC, throttle cable bracket and other surrounding items, you can reach the top injector holders just barely with the ratcheting wrench.

i always just took the intake valve cover off and the throttle body off and i never had any problems.

i would do everything 935motorsports said and also you will see that if you do not have the best prying hands (i dont) i use a smooth flat head screw driver and put it right where the injectors meet the rail. give the screw a smooth gentle turn and the injectors pop right out. no damage and no stress on ur arms.

remember too that some of those old grommets get stuck in there so dig ur finger around and make sure its not left in there.

first time doing it, give urself an hour. just make sure you move all those stuff out of the way near the 6th injector. make life a lot easier.

I'll let you guys know how it goes. I should be getting my new injectors in a couple weeks.
