This blows... (running only on 3 cylinders)

[Bbandit]

As you all know, I just finished my KA-T a while ago...

today, I spent all day fixing some stuff.. recirculating the bov which means that I have to make myself a new intake piping and weld a recirculating bung on to it...
and then I made my own turbine discharge flange cuz my flange was warped..
I put everything back on.. it idled like cr4p...
I thought maybe its because of my burned up exhaust manifold gaskets...
then I took my s13 for a run..
it pulls way better than when it was N/A..
I was happy...
and then I parked.. let it idle.. and found out that my exhaust poured out smoke.. and it idled like cr4p...
so we checked the spark plug...
all of the spark plugs sparked...
we found out that cylinder 2 was not firing...
so we pulled off the injector plug in #2.. and it didnt do anything..
so we figured that its a bad injector.. prolly clogged up to hell...
I was so pissed we did a compression test on#2 emmidiately...
185psi...
so #2 is fine, #2 sparkplug fires... but not firing..
We decided for sure that it was the injector..
so now I have to find myself another 370cc SR injector..
this blows.. I really wanted to get everything running right by this weekend.. :(
What do you guys think? is it really the injector?

anybody happens to have any extra 370cc injectors? I'll buy it for real... help me...

oh one more thing.. do you guys know where I can get metal gasket for head/exhaust manifold?
cuz all i have is that fel-pro paper gasket.. they burn easily...

Sorry for the rant and long post.. Im so tired and sad cuz Im only running on 3 cylinders.. :(

sux, man. sorry to hear, you have such a nice setup.

as far the the 370cc injectors, dont 300ZXs use them too?.. go pick one up @ the auto parts store or a junkyard.

[Bbandit]

thanks man
only 94 and up z32 injectors will fit...
i have a friend that has a 91 z32 and he has tons of stock injectors but they're different.. they wont work on KA stock fuel rail...
and the junkyards down here dont have any z32 :(

I'm also contemplating on building a KA-T setup instead of going Sr just knowing that I can put it back to stock if I ever run into any problems with california emissions or chp. Plus I'm getting another s14 with 90k miles so it can be turboed for awhile until I build my other KA for boost sitting in that peice of shit in my avatar. I dunno sounds like it maybe cheaper because I'm only aiming for about 350hp but I think in the end it's going to cost the same. Well anyways goodluck.

Bbandit: I have extra 370cc injectors for sale.

i don't have anything useful to add but good luck man... i hate it when you do some planning, put in some work and get stuck. i hope it all goes well for you.

oh man that sucks... I just called Kuah @ SPL Parts, he said he'd sell you his stock 95 300zx TT injectors if you want them (single or set). He said just to shoot him an email: [email protected]
