i just ordered some 19 lb fuel injectors because the stock ones are 17lb so i thought i would give her a little more at wot anyways my question is when i remove the fuel rail i read in the service manual it says there are fuel injector retaining clips but it looks as if they retain the injectors to the fuel rail and not the engine so if that is the case i can just pull up on the fuel rail after i remove the bolt correct?

 

Before pulling the injectors i would make sure to clear any dirt or debris from around the injectors. Then I'd use a little wd40 at each injector to lubricate the o-rings and then rock the fuel rail assemblies back and forth until they come free

 

Just tossing in .02 here.. A member replaced/upgraded his with Bosch brand.. and his car puked on them after a while .. Seems they didn't hold up and he ended up with his OEM's back in.. This was on an SRT6.

 

You have an NA. They are overkill I would have thought. Save your money.

 

You don't need injectors IMO but to answer the question, the clips align and hold the injectors to the rail. Pull up on the rail and they come out with it.

greatly appreciated guys thank you i will now know i have done a few mods to the car in the past month including borla exhaust,2 cats deleted,needs wings cai,74mm tb,19 lb injectors to come and euro charge tune with the mods ive done i find the car way a lot more fun to drive for about a grand its been fun modding this car and learning my way around it ive learned so much about this car and love it more and more thank guys for the reply's ill let you know how the injectors do any suggestions on what to do to the used injectors that worked on a previous car to clean them or anything for safe measure.

 

I don't know if anyone will want your injectors. I purchased some used injectors for my car, (stock 2005 blacks) had them serviced, installed them and found my stock 2006 ones to be blue. So, I used the blacks until the blues were cleaned and balanced and switched them out. I put the blacks up for sale for the price I paid to service them. Not what I paid for them or the sum of both. For the price of having them cleaned and balanced no one even made an offer. You may have better luck but I wouldn't put a penny into making them more attractive to a buyer.

We'll I put in the injectors after 2 hours jezz it's a pain not the fuel rail or injectors but removal of the fuel rail cover jeez anyways the injectors I put in are 19 lb instead of 17 lb I drove it it runs amazing no problems and I noticed a huge increase I remember at about 5 thousand to 6 the car would kind of fall on it's *** but after the injectors from a 430 Mercedes the car runs amazing and has plenty of power I love it guys thanks for all the help and support of the forum I will use this forum for a long time I love the help

 

I thought there were no gains to be found from bigger injectors for the N/A. This is interesting. Might look into some for my car. Where did u get the injectors? Are they new or remanufactured?

 

There used off ebay I cleansed then really we'll with some alcohol and lubed the o rings there 19lb vs the stock 17lb so just a little bit more across wot the part number is 1130780249
