Summit injector connectors, no dice :( Options

[yarin]

Just tried these out:

they don't fit. the connector itself doesn't plug into the injector. even with the surrounding housing ground off.

oh well.. back to square one.

where do i look now? any leads to cheap injector connectors with some form of clip mechanism?

Mixing apples and oranges solves some problems creates others.

The D-Jet hardware relies on the rubber boot to keep the electrical connection connected and keep contaminants out of the connection. Teh boot is very important, yet it is the first part to fail.

The L-Jet hardware does a much better job of keeping things together and the connection contamination free, but both halves of the connection must be used. Its a system.

Mixing the two provides a connection that relies only on the spring strength of the wire terminals to keep the connection together, without the 'C'-spring clip on the outer housing having a matching part on teh fuel injector to mate with, as designed. The gasket inside the outer housing is not kept in compression because of the missing C-spring clip connection on the outer housing. Its a tenuous connection at best, while it may functoinally work, its not a very good solutiuon, certainly not long-term.

The best solution is to use the original parts. everything is available. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Having a system that was designed to work together far outweighs any perceived benefit to mixing components.
