Thanks again m1tch, the ones I have look different to those these are what mine look like.

Do you think these will do the same job, they are quite soft rubber.

That\'s brilliant m1tch, just one more question, what are the rubber grommits that go between the lim and the collar, is it the rubber grommit that sits on top of the diffuser on the standard set up?

Hi everyone, I am currently installing a kg parts secondary fuel rail on my FD with the Bosch 1600 injectors.
I am looking for some advice, the collars that come with the kit that go into the lim, how far in do they need to be pushed in, is it so they are flush with the top of the hole in the lim, or do they need pushing in as far as they will go?
Any advice would be a great help, I have been looking on other forums and the Internet and it seems different people have different opinions on it, I want to make sure I dont get any fuel leaks and have a fire.

Thanks for all the help.  It\'s not going to be road legal so mot\'s won\'t be an issue, we are hoping to eventually enter some competions in it, so would like to totally remove it for weight aswell as that it won\'t be needed on a track.

Hello everyone, me and my mate are turning my FD into a track day car, and are in the process of stripping it down.  We would like to remove the ABS, I know that we will need a biasing valve, I have pictures of people using the one off the abs unit, is this ok to do, or should I buy a fully adjustable one?
Other than that I am struggling to find a thread on how to actually remove the whole abs system, including wiring and the abs ecu?
If anyone could direct me to a thread if there is one about, or if someone would be willing to write it up on here for me would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Dave

Thanks for the reply m1tch, I have the injector collars, what grommits do I need? all I got with the injectors was the collars.

Hi, I have got a set of Bosch 1600 cc injectors on the secondary rail on my FD, I am running an apexi power fc.
I have been reading in some places that I should have resistors in line with the injectors as they are low impedance injectors, and if run without resistors it can cause damage to the power fc.
Could someone clarify this for me please, and I\'d possible tell me what size u would need and which wires to install them on.
Help greatly appreciated
Dave

Yes mate I would be interested in it, was it a runner when you took it out?

Hi, has the engine block deffinatly been sold?

Hi, could anyone tell me how I can tell if my AVCR is still programmed correctly, as I can\'t find the setting I wrote down when it was done by Hayward when they mapped it.
It\'s on my FD, I was basically wondering if there is an obvious setting that should be in it that I can check.  I am asking because I believe the car is over boosting a bit.

I can\'t see any air leaks, and all batty terminals and connections are fine from what I can tell.
I have just been out in her for the first time this weekend and the knock only registered about one third of the scale on the power fc and then once I had been cruising around for 5min or so the knock went down to nothing and hasn\'t come back since!

If I remember right it was about five years ago just after I got it.

I have put a new battery on, and a new fault seems to of appeared, when I started the car up the heat warning light was flashing and the knock was right up on the power fc, when I drove the car down the road the light went out and the knock halved on the power fc. It seems to drive fine with no smoke out the back.  It seems a bit strange as the last time I used the car before changing the battery there was zero knock showing and all I did was put the new battery on.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I will check both of these out, I don\'t think the battery is great I will get it checked.  Thanks for the advice anymore is welcome.

Hi everyone need some help with my 95 FD, it\'s single turbo uprated secondary fuel rail apex power fc mapped by hayward.
The problem started to be fairly intermittent it wouldnt happen very often.  What would happen is that the engine just dies with no warning and all the dash lights die, once I have pulled over it all comes back to life on it\'s own accord and starts fine and drives fine.
Then last Thursday went to Alton towers and on the way it started cutting out loads aft about an hour of running fine, at one point I wasn\'t getting more than ten miles or so, eventually got to Alton towers, on the way back it cut out on me after only about 10miles, due to thinking it might of been an electrical problem I pulled my stereo out just to check all the connections, which seemed fine so I left the stereo out and carried on.  We managed to get about 50 miles, then again with no warning it cut out, but this time first there was a big missfire and when I started I back up it just kept revving itself to about 3000rpm, managed to get about another mile and cut out again but this time when it came back on it wouldn\'t start just turned over.
Got it back to mine and started looking into stuff, ended up finding that the main egi relay was broken so I replaced it and she fired up fine went out for a short drive and everything seemed fine.
But went out today in it and after only about two miles it cut out, but with no misfire this time and when all the ignition came back on started fine and ran fine, so brought it home and came on here.
The only other thing that might be relevant is that when it was mapped I got told the ignition system was breaking down under high boost so they put a relay in the system somewhere to make the ignition circuit shorter to help stop the voltage lost in the system.
Any help would be appreciated I\'m getting really stuck now, and can\'t afford to take it anywhere.
