PETEW Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 I finally bought the '83 turbo car to put the motor in my '77 280Z. My question is since two of the injectors are bad (wrong injectors) what should I do. I know that I will putting on a intercooler (ordered my NPR from Scottie) and I will buy a 2.5" downpipe and 3" exhaust. I will also put on an electronic boost controler (opinions??). My question is should I just upgrade to the SVO/Merkur injector right away. I don't plan on doing everything at once but why spend the money on injectors I have to pull in the near future. Will SVO injectors cause me problems when the car is stock? If anyone has 2 stock turbo injectors, cheap, I would buy them. Let me know guys. Thanks.

PETEW Posted January 24, 2002 Author Share Posted January 24, 2002 Hello, Anybody. Need some help over here If you have a couple stock injectors or thoughts on if I can use bigger injectors with everything else relatively stock (only for a short time)then let me know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 IMO, do the SVOs now. Remember that with the addition of the NPR and free-flowing exhaust, you are going to be making a LOT more HP running the same boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETEW Posted January 24, 2002 Author Share Posted January 24, 2002 Thanks for the reply scottie. Here is another dumb question, though. Will the SVO injectors fit in the stock fuel rail, I thought someone said that you had to have a custom one for the injectors. I hope that isn't true. What do the SVO injectors cost, by the way? Thanks for all your help guys. I can't wait to get the motor in my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 The SVO injectors will take a bit of work to adapt to the stock fuel rail, but it's just a matter of attaching hoses to the tops of the injectors, and monkeying with the o-rings and possibly the plastic end caps of the injector end. Scottie, of course has done it, and may be able to explain better. You can get a fuel rail full of 4 injectors off Mustang SVO, Merkur XR4TI, or Thunderbird Turbocoupe. Expect to pay $20 at a U-pull-it, and I personally have more than 20 injectors I intend to flow test. I could be persuaded to flow test and match a set of 6 and sell them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETEW Posted January 24, 2002 Author Share Posted January 24, 2002 Thanks for the answers guys. I saw the mod page that Scottie has. I just wasn't sure if that was on a stock fuel rail or a modified version of it. Now that I know I am on my way to making more power. SleeperZ you have mail.
