Default RC Engineering Injectors Plug And Play?

Are the RC Engineering 440 injectors plug and play into the Z's stock fuel system with the harness clips you can purchase?

I talked to Deatschwerks today and their injectors are $500 - $150 refundable core exchange. = $350. They plug right in.

The RC engineering injectors are $595 with the harness clips - $100 Deatshcworks will give me for my stock injectors. = $495

Any reason not to go with the Deatschwerks rebuilt injectors?

RC are not plug and play

As for the rebuilt ones, Iget a picture of a spray pattern before I put my $$ down. Sometimes firms are successful at doing this. Other times, the results are miserable

Which was another reason I went with the AAM fuel return kit... Since it included new fuel rails that would accept the RC injectors.

Even stock fuel rails will accept RC injectors... the rails are not the plug and play issue, its the injector clips.

Since Deachworks are plug-in, there is no harness wiring/hacking up needed. Given that and the cost difference and the fact that you could get 480's or 510's from them at pretty much the same cost, its worth considering imo.

I'm getting confused here.

WITH THE RC ENGINEERING INJECTORS AND CLIPS CAN YOU INSTALL THESE WITHOUT ANY MODIFICATIONS????

If not what modifications need to be done to get the RC Engineering injectors to fit.

If you want to install RC injectors, you need to change out for the RC clips, and get then space the fuel rails up about .450"

You will need to space the rails up no matter if you have stock, AAM, or CJM or whatever rails. You can just use washers or you can get aluminum spacer at a hardware store.
