LEAKING 1.6 INJECTOR BLOWING BACK (FOUND PART)

done the engine swap , and one of the 1.6 injectors is blowing fuel out of itself, from top. are there anyways of clearing it, id get a new one but thats 3 days from germany, darlo suzuki. anyone had this fault before, will the 1.6 engine run on the 1.3 injectors, worst case scenario until i can get a replacement or will it do in the ecu? need to get fixed this weekend or its another week off work, any help ideas would be v much appreciated, cheers in adavnce

What colour are your injectors.

I have orange and purple here in Leeds.

Have you checked the top "O" ring is in place?

It'll run fine on the 1.3 injectors.....should manage to drink enough fuel lol

I had this same issue trying to fit the injectors. As Keith says, check the rubber o rings. Its tricky to get them all seated in correctly and stop the fuel leak.

Worst case it will be happy enough with the 1.3 injectors (thats whats in my M18 currently and its fine)

hey keithy, blues ones mate, just one was leaking at the top, moved its place and it still leaked, i found 4 for £80 delivered of tebay. thanks for offer mate,
so the 1.3 ones would of been ok? arrrrgghhh doh!! another £80 down!! ha ha!
cheers L

hey riccy, thanks for rapid reply, bugger so the 1.3s would have been ok then,
i thought happen they would spit less fuel in ? did your 1.8 injectors knacker up?

The 1.8 ones I tried were putting too much fuel in. You could hear it evaporating in the exhaust after trying to run it and it was running badly (rough). Tried all sorts but ended up going to the 1.3 injectors and all was well. My 1.3 injectors are orange, the 1.8 were yellow and I think the 1.6 were blue, but I dont know if the colours mean anything or not.

Ive been looking into throttle body setups and better exhaust so I will keep them incase they are useful for that (if it ever happens)

ive got the 1.6 ones blue, coming today all 4 and rail from prestige auto salvage ltd in the midlands , a real helpful guy , posted em off in a rush at 4pm so i could get em today. out of a 2008 37k engine i,ll stick em all in, and fingers crossed.
bloke who is helping me , nickname is fingers, after badly damaging his fingers with a circular saw!! in the future i might start looking at diff throttle body too mate.
after your conversion, any recommendations on swapping fluids or bits after running it in a bit, or should all be well? cheers L

sounds like a result there for the parts then.

I have fitted a 2004 Liana throttle body onto the original jimny manifold in J999MNY, which is slightly larger ported, but doesn't really make a difference as its the manifold causing the restriction there. Ive also got a much bigger rav4 throttle body that I have tried to fit, but no luck sourcing an adapter plate yet.

Same goes for the exhaust. I tried a 4-2-1 manifold on J999MNY and all that did was increase engine bay temps and put up the engine code light (sensor in manifold not working in a different position).

It sort of all needs to work together, so IF (when... ) I do it to the M18 in Ulysses I plan to take it to JDM dyno together with a boat load of cash. Plan would be to get him to make a full exhaust to go with the 4-2-1 manifold, as well as fit throttle bodies, custom snorkel and a stand-alone ECU to run it all properly. Then it will be rolling road tuned to suit, hopefully up around the 150bhp mark, but more for torque. Ive been for a chat with him but he's busy moving premises at the moment, so a job for next year. Suits me as its time for the new M18 to run in a bit.

Re fluids; just keep checking them. An oil change after a few hundred miles would probably be a good idea. Once its running and not leaking there isnt much to go wrong

The blue are the Sport injectors....all have different flow rates.....the 1.3 have more spray holes so probably better fuel atomisation.....with the 1.3 injectors and 25PSI boost I only saw 53% duty cycle....so could more than cope with another 300cc's NA

I'm using the sport blue injectors on the twincharger.......if they can't throw enough fuel in I'll come and steal riccys bad boys
