Injector install instructions

I have 740 Injectors to install in a 2008 GT. There is nothing on this site about them. Has anybody seen install instructions on another forum or know where to find some info on it?

Are they Deatschwerks??? If so are you sure you have the right ones?? I thought they did 740cc in side feed and 750cc in top feed.

check vacation pics

 

they are very easy to do on our cars vs the 2.0 top feed

2008's are top feed.

They came out of a 08 GT and im pretty sure he said they were DW 740's. Either he didnt know what he had or I got them mixed up. But now youre making me have doubts,thanks:confused:. They are baby blue if anyone knows what color they should for the top feed

Blue DW are top feed.

 

Just wanted to make sure that you didn't get the job started and realize that you had wrong injectors.

Dammit, if know one can answer this in the open forum im gonna have to go back to PMing the usual suspects:lol: Sorry guys I gave it a chance. Get ready whitetiger unclemat etc

I'm curious as well. I did the fuel pump install and that went smoothly (except the gasket - had to go back near the finish and realign that puppy). Next up is injectors, and it would be great to get a visual walkthrough before diving in there.

I found this on the Turbo XS website, via NASIOC. The instructions are for a WRX and I'm not sure how they translate to a LGT.

 

Drivers Side Injectors:

 

1. Remove "green" protective bracket from the fuel rail assembly by the 5 bolts. This is a "PITA" but be patient and pull it out towards the rear of the car.
   
2. Remove 2, 12mm bolts between the injectors securing fuel rail to the heads and 1, 12mm bolt at the front of the fuel rail.
   
3. Disconnect electrical connectors from fuel injectors
   
4. Pull up on fuel rail and slip out injectors one at a time. Be careful not to damage the fuel injector's rubber gaskets.
   
5. Install TXS Fuel Injectors in reverse of task "4."
   
6. Put everything back together from "Install the Larger Fuel Injectors" in reverse order.
   

Passenger Side Injectors:

 

1. Remove the coolant assembly located next to the intake manifold.
   
2. Remove the various bolts securing hoses to the "green" bracket.
   
3. Remove "green" protective bracket from the fuel rail assembly by the 4 bolts. This is a "PITA" but be patient.
   
4. Remove 2, 12mm bolts between the injectors securing fuel rail to the heads, 1, 12mm bolt at the front of the fuel rail and 2, 12mm bolts at the top of the fuel rail.
   
5. Disconnect electrical connectors from fuel injectors
   
6. Pull up on fuel rail and slip out injectors one at a time. Be careful not to damage the fuel injector's rubber gaskets.
   
7. Install TXS Fuel Injectors in reverse of task "6."
   
8. Put everything back together from "Install the Larger Fuel Injectors" in reverse order.
   

Cool, Matt. I'll poke around and see if that makes sense in a Legacy engine bay.

2008's are top feed.

 

oooohhhhh.....hahahah that sucks

 

have fun with the GBOD if they still have em

Well Ive started this project, and its looking pretty tight. I sent a pm to guys I think may have tried this already. I will let you know what i find out Duketrout.

So I finally got the passenger side done. Took my time over the last week or so. It is a very tight spot, now the hard side tomorrow. Im gonna go cry myself to sleep:icon_cry: and then tackle it in the morning. Again I have been taking photos of this and plan on putting something together for the site, but as of now I think it would be worth paying a competent shop to do this.

gl man...it'll be worth it when you finish!

 

the shop isn't going to have a much easier time than you, and if you diy, you know it will be done right

Any Pics, i may need to do this soon.

+1 How nasty is this for an 05 ?

+1... I got one to change soon, one is going to die !

 

 

I was looking at the driver side, I see there's a Torx bolt that hold the injector, can I just remove that to remove the injector or I really need to pull the fuel rail ?

 

Mine are sidefeed like that : http://www.scoobytuner.com/products/?vApplicationID=40&sfID1=33&productID=1619

So how do you get the protective plate off the driver's side? The lower rear bolt is below the TGV solenoid and impossible to get to. I have been searching and searching. If I can get away w/o removing that intake mani, that would be great.

Install instructions from the Haynes manual:

 

1. Relieve the fuel system pressure

a. remove fuel pump fuse

b. start engine and allow it to run until it stops

2. Remove engine cover

3. Disconnect the negative battery cable

4. If you are going to remove the #1 or #3 cylinder injector, remove the air intake duct and coolant reservoir

5. Disconnect the electrical connector from the injector

6. Remove the retaining screw and pull the injector straight up.

7. Remove and discard the old o-ring

8. Install new o-ring and apply a light coat of engine oil to the o-ring to protect it durring installation

9. Install in reverse order.

Bump.

 

So any chance of swapping Injectors on 07+ cars with topfeeds without having to remove the intake manifold?

 

Has anyone managed to get this done? Or do we just have to bite the bullet and take the manifold off?

Unbolt the IM and just lift it up about an inch.

Gasket can be saved?

I sure hope so! I didnt change it. I didnt even fully remove the studs (I don't think, so everything stayed in place. I only needed to luft is up a bit to move / clear a fuel line. Something like that. I forget. It was on the passenger side front.

I have done it on my topfeeds with just releasing the fuel rail. Two bolts on top the TGV's. Passenger side is easier than drivers. It sucks, but better than pulling the manifold again. Oh, the bracket covering the injectors is gone on my car too. I never put them back in after they came out the first time.

same here. No way I was putting that thing back in! I absolutely had to lift my manifold slightly to get the fuel rail out of the way.. I think that is why I had to lift it.

I also had to relocate a ground connection on the driver's side since I did not put that plate back on. Its been a while, I somewhat forget.
