I am currently at the halfway point of changing my injectors (bought bosch 3 reman from south bay 22#) and have a question about fitament. I have never installed gas injectors before only deisel(very different). Had to sell Cummins (12.47 @111) due to a second kid on the way, and now working on this. Anyways the factory injectors in this iroc fit snug and require a bit of effort to seat in the bung, or remove from. However these NEW BOSCH Ones require little to no effort to seat,and 1 literally falls to place No soap, or vasoline req. IS THIS NORMAL? i just dont want to reinstall everything and find a vacum leak. I will check for fuel leak first with just ignition. And yes i read the tech article on how to install injectors. That is why I am asking, there is no satifying pop or feel and they are 1/8" taller even when seated no difect fit. Any experienced advice would be great. As this is now my summer fun car now and Winter is finally over here in Alaska and im DONE driving my 00 4x4 ranger(winter beater) and just gave this car a major tune up tranny and some paint. Just hopeing this is normal so i can finally drive it. Thanks , Jason

 

Hi Jason, are the injectors 1/8th in longer oring to oring or in overall length? It is 7am here in new york. Give me a call later on and we will be sure to help you with this!

oring to oring they are an 1/8" taller. when compared side to side the orings are farther apart on the bosch 3s than the ones i just took out and when placed in manifold side by side the bosch 3s are clearley taller (to the oring) than the ones i took out. is this normal?

 

do you have a TPi setup?? If not then the bosch lll's with the adapter on the end will definitely be too long.

 

Ya car is an 88 5.7 tpi iroc z here are some pictures, and also thanks for the quick response. Here are some pics

 

hey Julie thanks for the help. Cant wait for the new injectors to get here. hopefully there just what the doctor orderd. Im just glad that I wasnt schleping it up, and you see what i see. Thanks, Jason
