Scoobysruvenge Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 As soon as I pulled the injector lips I found a problem. One of the injectors is melted where the clip clips on. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt198/Scoobysruvenge1/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150808_144518_470_zpssxqa3eop.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcristquester Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I have injectors for sale. See "Mini SQ hoard sale" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobysruvenge Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 The car came with a 16g turbo, another exhaust manifold and a exhaust to replace all of the Duff he wrung the bolts off on. I have replaced all the studs and exhaust nuts and installed the 16g, the scroll and the manifold. My question is thos... Is there and should I upgrade the cc of the injectors? I see different years and sizes on the "mini SQ" page as well as others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcristquester Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 You'd probably need to have either a wide band and/or some tuning done to check if the 1150 FIC secondary works with your setup. FIC primary is stock flow at 650.May depend on how much boost and other intake mods you are planning on running. I have 2 88 quests. Both like the stock ones and only one likes the Trilogy's, which are similar to the FIC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobysruvenge Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 My plans are simple. Get the car running in stock form with exception of the 16g. The smart thing for me to to do here is get a stock injector. Like many others I have plans to upgrade the car, but time and money must factor in to the project as I go. Once the car is running first extra will be a 3" exhaust and a trip to the dyno to see what is needed to get a correct tune. I see some megasquirt threads here I have not had a chance to read. I am familiar with megasquirt a have also been skimming through the MPI threads and drooling. Sadly these things are down the road and still have some work to do to get the car running before I can have some fun. Thanks for the offer an injector. I may take you up on it. There is a parts car locally I need to go look at first. Thanks for all the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobysruvenge Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Closer inspection of the injector that has some melting of the connector appear to very minor. A test of both injectors reveals both are spot on at 2 ohms. All of the clipping surfaces for the connector on the melted are in good shape. Both injector connector clips look perfect no melting or signs of heating. I will send these off to be tested and cleaned. I think they will both be fine. If not I will proceed from there. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt198/Scoobysruvenge1/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150810_124423_036_zps0jdn9rm0.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcristquester Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Good plan. I would suggest at least replacing the fuel filter in the engine bay while you have that open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobysruvenge Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks for the advice PC. I was looking at it the other day and wondered is there a replaceable filter cartridge or do you replace the whole filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcristquester Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Whole thing. I think randy aka DAD at engine machine service on here sells them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobysruvenge Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I have a few items on my parts list that I will need to get from ESM. Injector clips Steel exhaust gasket. Gastank strainer. I will be sending the injectors off this week and putting in a order with ESM. Thanks for you help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobysruvenge Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Injectors went out to Witchhunter to be cleaned and tested. I will share the results when I get them back. $22 per injector plus $10 s and h. I also ordered my injector clips and fuel tank filter/strainer from ESM. $8 bucks for the filter and $15 for the pair of clips. $7 s and h.

Scoobysruvenge Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 The gastank is ready as soon as I get the Tank filter/strainer. Still need a sending unit gasket??? If I can't source one I will get some gasket material and make one. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt198/Scoobysruvenge1/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150814_164844_458_zps7pb4chru.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 there should never be enough power going thru an inj circuit to MELT a connector clip housing , check the inj resistor for 6 ohms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobysruvenge Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 According to this article found here on this site injectors should be less than 3 ohms. Is this informsion incorrect? Both of my injectors are at 2 ohms exactly ??????? http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=143840&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobysruvenge Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Funny my brother pointed out what looked like diletric grease on the connector that had the light melting damage. His thought was someone had used something other than an approved substance on the connector at some point causing the slight melting of the plastic. The clip connector is made of a different material and showed no signs of heat at all. As mentioned there was very light damage to the injector and with the 2 ohm reading I shipped them to Witchhunter to be tested and cleaned Friday.

Scoobysruvenge Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Aaahh. OK thanks and I will check it and see what I get. Is there one resistor for each injector or one for both??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobysruvenge Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Thanks Shelby and PC. I will check this in the morning. This would not affect both injectors? Or because one fires more than the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 One for both One for each. 2 resistors in the resistor pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 you may be right about the lube on clip,, there are many7 diff types of grease some will cause melting or softening of plastics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobysruvenge Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 All the cliping surfaces were in good shape on the injector and the clip snapped tightly making a good connection. I think of will be fine. I will have wait and see. Thanks for all the help and advice from eveyone.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
