  1. hey guys as the title says......anyone actually done it? I am attempting it at the moment after being told they are all universal fit but they don't appear to fit well. eg. only just sit into the manifold on the engine side. they are the same length from rubber seal to rubber seal as the factory injectors so they do fit in and bolt up etc. but they are really only just sitting in there on the engine side which gives me the shits if its not sealed properly. any ideas?? failing that any ideas on some injectors that will fit?? and where to purchase them from bearing in mind its for a turbo xflow so I was wanting around 36lb to 44lb

    My guess is its something to do with the cruise control? as theres a heap of vacuum lines running out from under.

    So next question is if I do away with the cruise control can I just remove the plug from here and get rid of all that ugly sheeit?


  3. Hey guys can anyone point me in the right direction on how to replace the fuel pump in my efi xf?

    I get the basics but im sure I have seen a "how to" guide before but may have been on the "other" forum??

    cant seem to find it in the search now tho....

    I have a walbro to put in as replacement


  4. Anybody still running aircon with their turbo xflows? In the process of fitting everything up now and the aircon unit and all its pipes look as if they are going to be in the way. If possible I would like to keep the aircon. Its an 87 xf ghia. also would the heat affect the aircon pipes? they are already factory heat wrapped


  5. reason i want to front face it is I have stuck my wastegate right in the way.......... so figure its a good excuse to shorten the intercooler piping

    sorry for the blurry photo pretty crap lighting in my shed


  6. I do realise that its not an ideal inlet manifold but I can make this for nothing and it should run while I sort out a custom plenum, so long as number 6 cylinder doesnt run too lean


  7. Im trying crazy honest . have opened a photobucket acc. but still doesn't seam to work? From more research....(had a mate come and look today) Adrianphu123 seems to be right and its an egr valve so I will continue with cutting it off and see how I go


  8. Sorry if this is a stupid question but can anyone tell me what the funny lookin doodah next to the throttle body is? am looking at cutting up and modifying my inlet manifold to a front facing one and want to know if I can just chop it off?

    I would upload a picture for reference but I am computer illiterate haha

    Also the gadget at the back of the rocker cover (firewall end) is that the pcv valve? and do I still need that? bear in mind it is in the process of being boosted.

    Apologies if I sound stupid but im pretty new to all this efi stuff always had carby v8s so im working it out as I go
