Well after getting everything going for a good while I ran into some life obstacles and had to put the car on hold. I needed new fuel injectors and was given a set as an early birthday present. The thing is.... they look pretty different and are shorter. I called the company I got them from and they assure me these are the correct ones and will work, but I'm pretty hesitant.
Picture is attached and these are Standard Motor Products FJ6. Any help is greatly appreciated. If these are not correct, any recs on where to go would be great. The old ones sat for 15ish years and I don't know if they're able to be fixed/rebuilt.
Thanks,
Brian

Those look like FJ67's. If they are, and you have a 2.0, they will work.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=343970Send the originals to Mr. Injector & see if he can refurbish a few for spares. Good luck.

Yup - FJ67s in a 2.0 is fine.

It’s a 1.8. I guess I’ll try sending the old ones in for a refurb and see how it goes.

1.8 injectors are NOT the same.
Look here for Porsche/VW and Bosch part numbers.

SMP FJ6 is the injector you need. Amazon, Rockauto, Parts Geek etc. Real Bosch are twice the price. Click to open

So yes - if you got FJ6's and you have a 1.8 you're good to go.
I have the FJ67s in my 2.0 and they DO look different but run great.

Don't do that, looks like you have the right ones! I too have these standard motor product injectors (for a 2.0 of course) and they are quality.

@Planeswalker33 What part number did you buy? The picture shown is not the correct injector for a 1.8. The connector is wrong. It shows the type used on D jet which plug inside the connector. L jet connectors go over the outside of the connector and have a clip.

There is a big difference between the injectors for a 1.7/2.0 and a 1.8. The 1.8 uses L-Jet injection, and the injectors are a different impedance and have a completely different connector than a 1.7/2.0 D-Jet injection.
Make it easy, go to FLAPS and buy 4 fuel injectors for a 1980 Datsun/Nissan 280ZX. The injection on a 280ZX is a Nippondenso licensed built copy of the Bosch L-Jet system. The injectors for the 280ZX are the same ones used on the Porsche 912E with L-Jet injection. Those injectors are the ones Porsche used to supersede the 914 1.8L injectors.
If it will help, the injectors are a Standard Motor Products FJ707.

Any idea how I could source an FJ707 type injector with the form bent tube? The only ones I see have a straight piece of hose. Not ideal.

Marty,
AA sells a bent elbow kit.
