I noticed the stock injector clips don't fit snug over the Deatchwerk injector's.. I mean.. I know they are drop in's and other people are telling me they just used the stock clips but it just doesn't seem snug because the Deatchwerks are a bit wider at the base.. anyone know what I'm talking about and have any advice?

 

hmm...I havent had any issues with the OEM injector clips fitting the DW injectors. They should click right on.

 

mine didnt clip either. bolts the rails down and have been fine since.

if i could only get all my AN fittings from that NO2 Y adaptor on my RFS to stop weeping....

 

^ 2nd that I have the AAM fuel rails with deatchworks inj. there wasn't anyway to use the clips, haven't had any issues going on for a year and a half now.

 

Thanks for the responses guys. I feel more comfort since Sharif decided to step in as well.

I've solved my problem.. I pretty much just clipped them on even if they are a little loose.. we have 4 big bolts holding down the rail so meh.. I'm positive i'll be fine!

 

you'll if its not right know when u fire the car.

 

I thought I didn't need the clips myself (the Turbonetics manual says you don't have to re-use the clips), and I was fine w/ 440's...but when I went to 650s for some reason my injectors would pop out under boost, even with those 4 bolts....I decided to try putting the clips on, and I haven't had any problems since...

BTW, these are with RC's....

 

Yes I guess I will because there will be like.. you know... possibly an engine fire

 

It took me reading your post a few times to realize you are referring to the fuel rail retainer clips, not the electrical clips from the injector harness.

The retainer clips are not necessary.

Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions

Oops, i'm sorry about the confusion. I always refer to those things as harnesses but I can see why you call them clips too.

Yes it was for the METAL clips that hold the injector down into the block.

 

very nice to see your issues taken care off

should not be long till you finish up your build ...

 

I also thought the electrical connection clips.

=)

 

Mike, I just reread this, and I thought the same thing! Brilliant minds think alike. Glad its all good.

 

Got the cats off last night which was a breeze thanks to PB, and now I just have to hook up the piping and do the gauges! Jeffie has been helping me a lot via PM

In order to do the AC line do I have to go pick up a special tool to do that?

 

To make life easier you might definatly want to pic up the tool to pop them out. It was a breeze with that lil tool. They arn't very expensive either. You can get one at any car parts store too. It just slides over the pipe and then you push it into the socket and Pop the pipe right out. Very handy lil tool.

What tool did you end up using to get the cats off? I know the PB blast works awesome I had to use it too.
