Injector Clips And Exhaust Gaskets

[Khadgar]

First off, are the clips that hold the injectors in place (stops tehm from rotating?) important? or are they just throw away. Second, anyone know a local place i can pick up some 2.5" exhuast gaskets?

[john]

I believe car-x has them. Car-x in hopkins had 3" gaskets that fit (collector gaskets) when I was looking. They should have 2.5". How many do you need? I may have an extra at home.

i dont know of any clips that stop the injectors from rotating, i know of clips that hold the connector on to the injector, and i would say they are important. probably dont want a shaking motor loosening injector connectors leading to an intermittent connection, detonation, and a blown motor.

[Khadgar]

They are behind the injectors and stop them from rotating, they are made out of metal, ill get a pic after work.

I am not aware of those clips either. Just the ones that house the electrical connectors. BTW, I do not have any of the clips on mine and have had no problems. They all broke off a while ago. I plan on getting them though.

[Super Bleeder!!]

ugh, i hate those harness clips... they are the devil

[Khadgar]

Yeah I hate those as well, I finnaly freaked out and snapped all of them with a screwdriver and just bought the "better" ones Machv sells. We'll see how those work tomorrow when I put them on, btw I'll try to get a pic of the other things im talking about tonight, i just need to find the cameras mem card.

Anyone got a pic of a fuel rail bolt?

[john]

I will remove one and take a pic when I get home. I believe they are 8mm X 1.25 pitch and about 60 or 70 MM long (2.5-3"). They are most likely the 3 cleaner bolts you will have in the stack.

[Khadgar]

I swear I labeled those and put them in a bag but I cant find my pile of bags so I am just looking through my assorted bolts and found nothing that fit.

[Khadgar]

Ok my bolt situation is almost fixed except for I need oil return bolts that go in to the turbo, anyone got the specs for those?

[Pushit2.0]

They should be 6mm by 1.25, 10mm bolt head and short.

ok, i seem to have everything BUT the downpipe nuts that fit on the 02 studs.

[Enes]

those are cheap.. just get new ones.. they are weird looking too...

they are rounded on one side and normal on the other.. thin..


if you need them i can drop them off at qpr or something..

The 2G Injector clip things are TRASH..........Toss em'. Weight reduction stage 0.001.

I see you got your gaskets. I recently found out that Fleet Farm has metal reinforced two-bolt exhaust gaskets 3" and smaller. I don't know how good they are...But if you are like me and tear apart your exhaust every 2-weeks they work fine.

Enes, nuts that are sumwhat beveled on one end and not on the other are a type of locknut. I believe the ones for a DP are 10MM by 1.75 pitch. They are not a common size. You fill save some time if you can bring in the O2 housing or one of the nuts that fit. They are kind of an odd size.

[Khadgar]

Well I guess I'll see if Ace has em, unless someone here has some to sell.
