Installing accel injectors....a coupe questions - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

zr1assassin · 11-23-2018

I'm installing injectors and have a few questions
1: can I use the O-rings that came on the accel injectors or the factory O-rings? I know I remove the bottom rings on the primaries but do I use the orings that came on the new injectors everywhere else?
2: do you just grind down the clip on the primary injectors?
Thanks in advance

Ok, figured out the grinding down the tabs, what about the orings?

I used the o-rings that came with the Accel injectors

Make sure you slide the locking clips in the top groove of the Accel injectors.

Will do, thanks

These tips look different (primaries), so do you remove the stock o-ring down in the port/put it on the new and push it in? As you can tell the stock injectors have no lip on the bottom so they slide in/out with leaving the ring in place in the injector housing.

Ok.... think I've got it figured out. I put the accel orings back on the primaries and am going to pull the stock orings that are still left in the injector housing (very carefully ) as not to drop any into the head. Then I'm going to install as I have ready in the picture with all accel orings installed on injectors.
Can someone confirm this method?

With the 375 hp engine primaries I reuse the upper injector housing o-rings and ditch the lower O-rings that came with the Accels

Ok. I'm assuming you take them out of the housing and put them on the injector to install? It wont slide in and out like the stock injectors because of that lip on the accels
