^^^ HOT! HOT! HOT!


...well... pretty MILD, maybe... but took me a dozen years to finally get 'em!

(Actually, they are labeled as MATSUDA (Mazda) injectors on the box in Japanese... whereas the "original" HKS injectors were "exclusive" product, I think.)

An EVENING job... at first.

^ Pulling TB bolts WITHOUT bending over.:biglaugh:

^ Stuff comes off...

^^^ "TRANSPLANT" in a JIFFY!:biglaugh:


p706563_10.jpg



^^^ Goin' back together...

p706563_11.jpg

p706563_12.jpg


^ ...and a WISE impulse to RE-TORQUE!!! (Several REARWARD joints had "relaxed" and lost tension...)

FEELIN' GOOD for the moment.......................................

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....................

^ DOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!:icon_evil


There was an apparent miscommunication when I explicitly asked if I needed "clips" to transition from my 440cc stockies to these!!!:icon_conf

^^^^^^^ .....needless to say, THAT idea went up in.... er.... "smoke"?

It became clear I would need the patience, stable hands, and advanced skill-set of a Belgian Grain-of-Rice Masterpiece Carver to make these two very different connectors "mate"...





hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......................




............................................................................:icon_idea

p706565_3.jpg



^^^ A quick trip to Radio Shack... and a handful of "blade-type" connectors... and an "innovative" slip of "cardstock" to "positively" separate the two connectors (VERY close together... and EASILY an IMMINENT short circuit!).

p706565_5.jpg


^^^ Installed and then "injected" (pun INTENDED...:nono: ) and "coated" with RED RTV silicone.

the clips arent that expensive. horsepowerfreaks.com has them.


...yeah... it was on a weekend... I had NO TIME in my life... and my PATIENCE at the moment was down to less than nothing...:nono:


I also had fun making it work!:naughty:

I think it looks pretty badass. Custom modified FTW, yo.


Yeah, thank you! I agree... the goal is a "wolf in sheeps clothing" thing... so anything "non-stock" under the hood is in keeping with the Jekyll/Hyde thing... and the very "subtle" stockish look on the exterior is a really nice "cloak"!



I don't need ANY attention when I'm just "lurking"... er... I mean CRUISING around.


heh heh heh...

no offense, but i wouldnt have done that to them. something that important i would want the right clips on them. we have them in stock for $30 and could have had them to you the next day. good luck to you tho, hope it works out.

on a side note, what shot are you running?

You are totally right!:biglaugh: We'll see how my haste ultimately affects the "long-term" performance of my car!

On the "shot"... the jets I have are for 50, 70, 100 shots, but I don't run it at all.;)


... I'm an "all-turbo" guy for now.


(On another note... it is set up with a remote solenoid and two heated 10lb bottles through a fogger nozzle off a WOT throttle switch. Pretty basic.)

You are one crazy guy, but I like it!

I like the way you type too :D

Clips of course would have been better, but I call that proper-ghetto :biglaugh:
Honestly, I think that'll hold!

You should take pics of both the Solara and the Sup together...


...Hmmmmmmmm... you are SO RIGHT!:icon_surp


Yet, as I rack my brain for why I HAVEN'T done something so "intuitively obvious to the casual observer" as taking pics of BOTH cars together...


...I come to the slow realization that I've never had BOTH of them CLEAN enough for a SHOOT at the same time!:icon_conf


DOH!:cry:


Hopefully ONE of these days! (Ditto on the VIDS!:naughty: )

Thanks for the F/I ideas. But I think i will JB weld fill my Injectors :D


p707267_1.jpg




JB WELD FTMFW!!!



(I used that on the "semi-stripped" rear threads in the head on the exhaust manifold rearmost fitment. So far it's not bleeding off any of my 15psi, and seems to be taking higher thresholds if selected.:icon_bigg )

JBW is FTW! (I feel semi-juvenile... but it feels aw'rite, too!:runaway: )
