240Z Turbo Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I had to tap stock injector ports for 1/8NPT plugs because the injectors would hit the plenum. I mill a spot on each runner to accept an injector bung that I will have to weld on. I think you will see what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Damn. Everytime I open my hood I feel so inadequate Looking good Dawg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Will the injectors sit perpendicular with the runner, or will you be angling them a bit? A good slant is the way to go, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perfect world, it will depend on how much of a PITA it is when trying to machine. Start with .5"length x .75" OD and then somehow drill a slanted hole. Maybe in the mill I can somehow achieve this goal. I don't think it will be too critical in my application?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAD D Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 240Z TURBO, Nice work but is that monster going to fit under your stock hood? And if not what are you going to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted January 26, 2003 Author Share Posted January 26, 2003 Well, you can't forsee everything when you are blinded by dreams of hp! Correct, a little hood cutting may be in order and then some carbon fiber cover. Hey, it only hits a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 James, you may want to consider aiming your injectors upstream into the air if you have room. Various "theories" behind this, but generally it is accepted that this orientation works best for fuel delivery into a high velocity air path. (ie: the air velocity is high enough that aiming upstream is intended to give the fuel more time to distribute itself evenly in the air) I'm pondering what type of air velocities you'll see with high boost pressure and (stock?) diameter runners. It might be something you want to pursue for packaging reasons. Personally I'd not aim them at the opposite wall of your runner, or you are going to have big problems with atomization as the fuel collects on the tube wall and forms large droplets. At high air velocities this may not be an issue, but I'd bet it would hurt your idle. Just my 2 cents... Love the custom work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
