Changing injectors is really an easy task but when you have to change connectors all of a sudden people hesitate to buy a set. "Should I get pigtails or pins?" That's always the next question. Since most guys don't have and have never used a "W" type crimper, they have to solder on pigtails.

Crimping your own pins using a "W" type crimper is easy to do, if you have the right tool. And we're now including a crimper tool with every set of Injector Dynamics injectors purchased from KStuned.com so you won't ever have to solder pigtails again.

• Crimping injector pins is easy and there’s no cleaner method.
• Crimping your own pins eliminates the need to solder pigtails.


The crimpers that we include can crimp any “W” type pin including weatherpack. It’s a great addition to anyone’s toolbox. Below you’ll find a step-by-step tutorial on how to crimp injector pins using our supplied crimper.

Step 1: Cut off your OE injector connector.


Step 2: Slide on the seals.
* Make sure the small end of the seal faces the injector pin (see picture).


Step 3: Strip the end of the wire back.

Step 4: Insert the wire into the pin and crimp the pin around the wire as shown
*Make sure the open end of the pin faces the “W” part of the crimper (see picture)




Step 5: Slide the seal down into the end of the pin and crimp the pin around the seal using the round part of the crimper (see picture)


Step 6: Now just plug the pin into the back of the injector connector and you're done!
*See picture for how the crimped pin should look.


Step 7: Go faster and idle better than your friends that have big, stupid injectors.

 

Nice!

 

very good write up!

 

Any resources to find these pins please?
are theses the same pins found in the ecu harness plugs?

I love those W's. I use them for everything that requires crimping either joining 2 wires or using pins as pictured.

Thumbs up!

 

Who else includes the crimping tool for free to do the job right? Injector Dynamics from Kaizenspeed is a no-brainer

 

awesome im gonna do my injectors on sunday id2000 ...anyone know were i can get a w crimp tool

 

Good stuff!

I just soldered and heatshrunk mine when i used new clips. If i decide to change in the future, im going to look into this.

 

Would you all offer the crimper seperately? PM'd.

 

KS should be able to help there.

These can be purchased elsewhere as well (not to take a sale, just want to help!)

There are part numbers and a link in our instructions.

Tony is right. Im an idiot.

 

Which Deutsch connectors are like that? The DT, DTP, and DTM are all push to seat, not pull to seat.

 

Thank you Tony for the heads up, local ID dealer was also able to help me out point me in the right direction of it this morning.

 

I personally still solder them. In this situation I really doubt its necessary due to being sealed but it only takes a few moments once your done crimping to put some solder on them.

W crimps are very strong on their own.

 

If it's crimped properly all the solder is going to do is make it fail prematurely at the end of the solder.

 

If you leave flux on the copper sure, it will corrode the metal. If done properly there should be zero issue. Unless I am missing something.
