intresting! it almost looks like the oposite of what is needed ... it looks like those adapters accept bigger orings then the big stock injectors...odd!

I never saw the other side

but is not like it seems...
TT done that bigger diameter part to have a great fit in the injector hole in the manifold, just like the stock injectors form is.
They're easy to replicate if you have the right tools without paying 100usd for 4 small pieces of SSteel or alu or what they are

$120 shiped is a little much for something like that... kind of a piss off

I know, so for the half of that price I bought one entire E36 M42 manifold with standard injectors and I'll use it with turbo

realy ?? e36 what year??

nuvolarossa · « **Reply #64 on:** December 13, 2008, 02:49:39 AM »

I don't know what year is in there, but here in Europe from the start to 12/1993 they had standard injectors

I have the M44 and this swap is more complicated because of DISA (M42 is vacuum actuated, M44 is electric). I hope to have all parts before christmas so I can see how it will fit and if there will be problems. I see that the bracket that hold the M42 manifold is different from the M44 one, so I'll have to fab a new bracket

Looking good!! just a note though, the rubber boot at the throtle body will not hold 12 psi the way it is so just make a wire frame that conforms to the boot and wrap it up with hockey tap or whatever you prefer and you will have no problems... can't wait to see this go !

looks good haha no turbo choke with that sucker ... did you clamp everything under the first half of your intake manifold? what size injectors did you end up going with?

Xtremelylow · « **Reply #69 on:** December 15, 2008, 02:06:47 PM »

no I haven't clamped them all down yet still gotta do that. I didn't get injectors yet I called tuning guy again and he is telling me to go 45lb injectors still.

thats pretty sweet cool set up man looks good. definaltly go with 42lbs injectors bosch type lime green top they are more than enough. you bettter heat wrap the upper rad hose really good just to be safe.

I agree 45lb is overkill! ... 12 psi and 42lb is plenty and if you decide to upgrade the head gasket, studs and you will still have room to push more fuel and 15 psi in the future ... actulay a MLS head gasket is only $145 and you can get high strength studs at ottawa fastener for a good price

Thanks man. Do you have any parts #s for the lime green top injectors ? Actually we made a upper rad hose out of rollcage tubing so there wont be any heat issues with it

I will check at work tomorrow if i have the part # i will get it one way or another. i know that VW guys are using them for turbo 2.0L thats how i found them i think they were around 90-100$ a peice brand new.

i hate to bring this up again but with my future plans to turbo i hate to see this done so wrong. the turbo in that lo ation WILL NOT give you anything near satisfactory results. the turbo lag with it sitting that far away will be tremendous. also as was said before, heat will be a major problem. not necessarily just for those hoses and belts but the air in the entire engine bay will be extremely hot and could mean suicide on your cooling system. with the combination of heat and the length your pipes will be apart, the recirculating air will be far from ideal as well. to be honest, mounting the turbo on the manifold or at least way closer would be just plain easier as well. i really really strongly urge you to reconsider the placement for optimum performance and driveability, but hey its your car and your money, just tryin to help out.
