Is this the correct way to configure CFIs?

Is that right? Spacer + O-ring at top and 2 O-rings at the bottom?

Is the Pintle cap required?

[Obeharskad122s]

Pintle cap is not required. Thats how they are setup in my 242, no leaks...Vacuum or fuel.

There's two styles one has a larger than standard shaft on the lower part and goes in with two o-rings and no pintle cover. The other is setup just like vovo'z and uses one o-ring and the pintle cap.

i ended up using one oring on bottom .but the top is the same as your picture.:)

[m4ff3w]

Thanks.

[m4ff3w]

They did not leak. :)

[barry240]

good did you use one or two orings?

[m4ff3w]

2

[barry240]

hows your ecu likeing them?

[m4ff3w]

Just fine. After running about 5 minuts it hiccuped a bit with a weird idle, turned off car for about 20 minutes and it didnt want to start. Had to give it throttle to keep it running for about a min.

Once it started to idle again it has been fine.

:)

[m4ff3w]

Ok, I think I need to get a 2.5 bar FPR.

Stumbling under full throttle.

[ikyikthe1st]

did you do that amm trick

[Booster]

did you do that amm trick


if he has 2.4 he shouldnt need to do any tricks lh will self adjust

[Booster]

why didnt you use the pintle cap? wouldnt that help it seal even better?

[m4ff3w]

Because I couldn't get the pintle off the other injectors w/out breaking them.

[m4ff3w]

It does fine at idle and part throttle, but it really doesn't like full throttle.

I guess I need to hurry up with my MS install.

[Booster]

volvo sells the pintle caps & an injector o-ring kit for $5 each.


did you car like full throttle before the install of these new injectors?

[m4ff3w]

Yes, it was fine @ full throttle before. I think it is just going WAY rich.

If my understanding is correct LH goes blind @ WOT and goes by map only. Which would explain why it is so rich, LH can't really adjust @ WOT.

[Booster]

not to sure about that. but i would look at the injectors being faulty

lostartof has ran i believe 65 lb/hr injectors with no problems at all on stock lh.

you will need to get your car running correct first before you go to megasquirt

[maxman142001]

yeah your cars isnt liking the 46 lb injectors because of the excessive fuel at WOT.... Once you get a BIG turbo, lots of boost, and other supporting mods(3" AMM) the injectors will compensate better. Put the FPR 2.5 in and they will run at like 36-37 lbs, like Browntops. Thats what im doing...


plus once you go MS you can control the injectors a lot better

[m4ff3w]

Anything else I can do for cheap to lean it out @ WOT?

[HonestJhon]

let it learn for a few days?

[barry240]

it might take a while for the ecu to learn when i reset my ecu with 36lbers it runs pig rich at about 5000rms.do you have a chip

[m4ff3w]

No chip. MS is assembled just needs to be installed.

[m4ff3w]

I coulda swore I read that at WOT LH2.4 disregards O2 readings and won't lean it out. Am I wrong (I hope so)

[Mueller]

the OP is NA...did you do this with an NA or your +T Barry??

+T does not count here...


why the change in injectors? did you do something to need them?
WB02 gauge running lean?? or just for sh!t's-n-giggles??

[m4ff3w]

I'm not NA, I'm running a 16t.

I put the the new injectors so I could turn up the boost. I have MS but it will be a few more weeks before I have a chance to get it wired in same for my WB02 (waiting until I get larger downpipe to weld bung into)

my bad...I got your thread confused with another one :oops:

good question on the WOT and what the ECU does or doesn't do...I'd like to see that get answered..

[m4ff3w]

I found a 2.5 bar FPR in the garage. Time to go install it.

FTW!

where did you get your 0-rings?

[m4ff3w]

Crap, it wasn't the right FPR. It was for a screw on fitting (B21?)

I used o-rings that I bought orginally for the browntops (that ended up being unuseable)

[m4ff3w]

**** it. I'm to rich at WOT so I'll throw more air at it.

Bigger turbo is going in, 16t is coming out.

[Booster]

thats the tb spirt more boost = greater smile

[MikiK]

what did you use as the spacer on top of the cfi?

[m4ff3w]

what did you use as the spacer on top of the cfi?

That is the spacer from just above the pintle cap of a stock injector.

[m4ff3w]

wtf? The car doesn't seem to bog at WOT anymore.

I'm confused as hell.

[thelostartof]

you mean LH finally got around to learning things and is running good?

[m4ff3w]

Yea, but I thought it didn't LH did anything at WOT.
