EFI in spica manifold, part 2

[bianchi1]

... try a toyota fuel injector,,, i was working today, lot's of rain, no customers.. so i went snooping around toyota's, camry fuel injectors are about the same size as a spica injector..this is on a 2008 4 cly. model, but i think most of toyota injectors are the same now.

*loud warning buzzer*

Toyota and several other Japanese manufactured injectors have what appears to be the same Bosch type connector as most every other injector out there.

They do not and are specific to only Toyota and certain other Japanese manufactured harness connectors.

Ask yourself how badly you want to be hacking up and modifying harnesses to get the proper plug ends before going that route.

Do you have pics of your manifold? I am building a similar intake but using a shortened Bosch manifold with ported Spica throttle bodies. Trying to get as short a runner length as possible.

Richard, would you mind posting some photos of your manifold/tb project? What is the advantage of using a shortened Bosch manifold?

you "might" have better luck finding the right size and right plug type by spending a bit of time at a u-pullit type of wrecker where you can wander around pulling random injectors till ya find the right type

There are only a couple physical sizes of electronic injectors. One of them is the Bosch EV6 long body. These injectors are available in all kinds of flows; in the US they are known as LS1 injectors, being used on GM engines.

The drawing on this site is for a Siemens substitute to the EV6 long:
Home » Shop » Fuel » Injectors » Siemens DEKA IV Mototron 60lb/hour High Impedance Injectors ( Long Style ) (BTW this has way too much flow for most Alfa applications - it's the only detailed drawing I could find)

From my measurements, this would fit a Spica manifold with very minor drilling, putting the tip of the injector in virtually the same location as the Spica injector.

I'm in the first steps of a Mega squirt application. I would use this with an extruded fuel rail ($10), my challenge now is to find a way to attach the injectors and rails to the manifold.

ooops... just noticed I'm off topic - you are looking for connectors, not injectors. Still, if it can be useful...

hmm I need to find some at a junk yard or ebay. I wounder if they could be turned down and threaded to fit in a stock manafold. great info I have never seen the long type before..
