lucas 550 injectors

[mk3concepts]

will these injectors work on our car? or fit for our car..i got 6 from a local performance shop for free..the guys told me they are 550cc and will fit on our cars..but i forgot to ask what car they came out of..there are some numbers on it..

where the clip attaches it says - "927"
right next to it - "0280150756"
right under the green rubber thing on top - "1012"

hope the info i gave helps

As long as they're top feed and low impedence, you should be good. Did they come with clips or are they suppose to work with the factory ones? Either way, I'd have them properly flow tested before I would use them.

well keep in mind.

The toyota NipponDenso injectors use a 11mm top feed
Most Bosch and Domestic injectors are 14mm top feed.

Lucas = the old name for Delphi before the split off from GM (also known as Rochestor).

ill take a pic ounce my sis gets home..and post it up..hopefully that will help a lot more..you guys know where to flow test..besides rc?? somewhere affordable kinda low on the cash..cause of school

at a min i would get them flowed and cleaned before you even thought about putting them in a car or selling them. you could probably easily sell them and use the money for some mk3 specific injectors if need be.

thats the picture..sry ima noob in fuel mods..don't know what top or bottom feed is..=[

 

[CRE]

Bottom feed = catfish.... that's top feed, the other option is side feed.

A little less expensive than RC:

No experience with this company myself. Someone on here recommended them some time ago.

no.


You have to verify that they are infact machined for our cars. Stock Delphi/Lucas/Rochestor injectors were made for Domestic cars which means a 14mm top feed NOT 11mm. That why you VERIFY with a set of calipers at the least.

ooo ic ic..how do i do that? what tool do i need?

Yikes, maybe you should hand your car over to a professional instead of doing this yourself

 

[CRE]

Don't even think about trying to bore the fuel rail to take those injectors yourself either.

 

[mk3concepts]

nah i know what im doing..and no im not going to bore the fuel rail..im asking these questions to make sure im doing the right thing..the injectors are just sitting in the garage till i find out if they fit or not

 

[CRE]

Measure with one of these:

 

[mk3concepts]

oooo thats thing..iight thks

 

[mk3concepts]

ok so whcih part of the injector do i measure? haha

 

[CRE]

^^^ Erm... that IS a joke... right?

 

[adampecush]

i think trial and error may be a better way for you to learn than asking questions....as the answers given in this thread are extremely simple to understand.

i have access to a injector cleaner and flow tester. I can clean them for you for 50$ you pay shipping both ways.
