Got my injectors back today...

Due to my plan to replace the mechanical injection system with an modern elecrical one I've started to get new injectors, and to be able to replace the original mechanical injectors I need to modify the new electrical ones...

I've turned down a "standard Bosch injector" (0280 150 792) to exactly the same diameter as the stock plastic injector holder. In that way both the stock injector and the new one are identical in size and will use the same seal (o-ring) as original. I also had some spacers made which places the seal in the same position as on the stock one. I will probably use 2 o-rings on each injector just to be safe, I don't want any leakage.

Stock injector... The turned one without seal and spacer and then the new modified one.



Se how nice the new injectors fit, notice the spacer which put the seal in a correct place.
All injectors in place, ready to measure for the fuel rail.
Injectors without intake manifold.

  1. What do you mean by "turned down".

    Oh and here is a link to my Mercedes blog. I too keep track of my endeavours. http://v8bruiserbenz.blogspot.ca/

  2. I suppose grind down should be a better translation, otherwise the original o-ring wouldn't fit on the injector...
