Help Modifying Bosch 1600cc Injectors

My5ABaby · 11-28-2011, 05:20 PM

I have discovered I have to modify the bottom of the injector also... any tips there? I'm getting some vague/conflicting info on the 7 club.

As a note to anyone else, I use the hacksaw method to cut across the grooves so the plastic was separated and would spin freely and then used a soldering iron to melt a notch in each side of the plastic so it just fell off.

Most of those Bosch units run a plastic cap at the tip.
I will remove them and leave them off.
To seal the tip of the unit to the engine, I cut a length of 10mm (I.D.) silicone hose.
You can use a section of 3/8" (I think that's the SAE equivalent to 10mm?) heater hose if 10mm vacuum hose isn't easily available.

No need to worry about protecting the tip, since they are all protected in our engines.
