pink injectors into v6 sti

[tez n u]

If i buy top feed aftermarket rails to fit my v6 inlet manifold will the pink tops just drop in? Is the wire plug the same for yellow top v6 and pink top v7 injectors?

[Stoffa]

nah the plug is different, the locator tabs are in a different place, the pins are the same though, if you had the right plugs an auto sparky can pop the pins out without damaging them

Just cut and join the right plugs on . . . Injector polarity doesn't matter

[mattapo]

they do plug in,

on the plug on the injector there are two locating strips, one on eace side, if you cut them off they plug straight onto the factory plug. also you can fit the entire v7/8 intake manifold can be used and that way the larger intercooler can be used

[WRXONP]

There ya go lol . You could use the manifold and fuel rails and injector and the whole shi-bang

hmmm last time the mechanics tried - it didnt fit..

maybe they didnt do it right..

or was it that sensors needed swap over and wiring redone...

cant remember ???

but yea something custom had to be done so we just stuck with the v6 manifold...

u have FMIC so i dont think ther is much need to spend up on doing the manifold etc...

[WRXONP]

If using ver 6 manifold and after market fuel rails on top fed ver 7 injector all I suggest is checking the injector clearance . . As in not pushing the injector in to hard and also not leaving it too loose to leak . . Ie spacing the fuel rail to suit

thanks guys.....after i take out the two strips is there a chance the plug will pop off easy? Dont want that happening under boost .......also will the injector drop in with aftermarket top feed fuel rails?

I have done it on my old bh and used the V5/6 throttle body, had to make an adapter plate out of 3mm alloy, took about 5 mins to make, very easy and that way the sensor issue is bypassed, looks good having it on there to.

how to fit the throttle body http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic,16720.0.html

I think the v5 and v6 intake manifold bolt pattern is different from the leagcy and imprezas before v5 and after v6 so im kinda stuck now and finding new aftermarket injectors is becoming hard as well, anyone with any ideas where i can find some bolt on injectors or maybe topfeed fuel rails for v5 and v6?

[Stoffa]

any v5+ manifold will bolt onto your V5 heads, I'm using V8 sti manifold on my V5 heads. There are only two different bolt pattern possibilities

You could just put some big sidefeds in and be done. Alot less drama
