Default Precision injector install ?

I just got my turbo kit in from Autoworks and it came with 440cc precision injectors. They didn't come with the bushing for the IM, just the o-rings on the injectors. When I went to install them they wouldn't sit in the stock bushing all of the way. Do I just lube them up and put the fuel rail back on and tighten it down? Or do I need to shave some off of the inside of the bushing?

for my rc's i shaved some off... I would assume that you have to do the same for the precisions.


Looking at the pictures, it definitely looks like you need to trim some down...
Try a dremel.

Dremel the o-rings so the injector fits snug inside of it.

I just put the Fuel rail on and tightened it down. Fit perfect IMO I think that is the way to go.

x3. Avoid forcing things. Can you tighten the rail until it squishes the incorrectly-sized o-rings in? Probably. Should you? Probably not. Premature breaking and/or shifting in front of the nozzles can occur, and nobody wants that to happen at 14psi

They didn't exactly snap into place, but they went in with little effort. I was just expecting them to go in like the stockers. So I got them in and went to connect the plugs and they wouldn't go in. After searching for the reason I narrowed it down to the little nipple, inside the center section, by the metal prongs. You can see what I'm talking about in the pic of the 2 injectors in the manifold in my first post.

Here are some more pics of them installed and with the injector next to the plug.

I'm not going to touch the Bushings. I think that they were designed that way.
