I took some pictures of my Top Feed conversion at Pacific Import Autos and figure I should share them. This could give some members an insight as to what is involved regarding changing your injectors or switching from side feed to top feed.
Parts included in pictures are:
FIC 1100cc Injectors
FIC Top Feed Conversion Fuel Rails
Fittings and hoses
Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator
First thing you want to do is let the car set overnight to allow the fuel pressure to drop and to ensure a cool engine to work with.
1-Disconnect the battery terminals and remove both the windshield fluids tank and battery.
2-Remove your alternator and now would also be a good time to replace the belts as well if needed.
3- Now begin removing the intake manifold and inter cooler or in my case I had to removed the piping first due to my FMIC set up
There is a lot of wires and connections you will need to disconnect inorder to get the intake manifold out, so keep track of which goes where but most will only fit in their design area so not to worry.
4-Now would also be a great time to conduct a compression and leakdown test as well as new spark plugs. Once that is complete you can disconnect the fuel lines.
5-Remove the old injectors
6- Start assembling the new injectors onto the fuel rails
7- With injectors firmly secured within the rails, you can start screwing them back onto the intake manifold
8- Then with your new fittings and fuel lines begin connecting them to the two rails which has two connections each.
9- Repeat the process until you have both rails connected. You also need to start assembling the injectors electrical plug and connect them to all four injectors.
10- Before we install everything back in I suggest you might as well get new spark plugs
11- Now get your gaskets ready and every so gently place them within the groves
12- Gently lower the intake manifold back on
13- connect the fuel lines to the Fuel Pressure Regulator, in my case its the Aermotive mounted on my Pitch Stop Torque Mount
14- Then reconnect your fuel lines and please ensure they are in the proper order. Dont do what I did and put them on backwards and caused the Fuel Pressure Regulator not to work properly .
Above is the wrong side, so yeah dont do that.
15- You then want to set your fuel pressure and reconnect everything back on such as all your electrical sensors, power steering, battery, and windshield fluid tank.
16- From here I suggest getting a retun to fully maximize your new injectors.
Well that is about it guys. I know I skipped a lot of steps and my explanations are not very detailed, but hey this was a learning process for me as well. Plus this was actually suppose to just be pictures. I hope this help with those who are considering doing something of this nature.
Thank You
