951rs

Hello all

Yesterday, among other things, I wanted to fit a set of new LSR injectors in my 85 951...I bought a set of flow matched Siemens injectors from Dave Lindsey...
I disassembled all necessary parts and then wanted to fix the new ones.
I plugged them in the fuel rail and wanted to secure them with the genuine clips...but that didin't fit because the genuine clips aren't 'high' enough

On the genuine Bosch injectors, the furrow where the clip gets in is placed on a higher position, so the shorter clip fits, too (the genuine Bosch injectors also have two furrows, a high and a low one)...

Can anybody help me with a part number for the proper parts?

Thank you

Cheers

If you mean the little square mechanical retainer clips at the top of the injectors, those don't generally fit with aftermarket injectors and (I assume?) everyone omits them like I did. I've been running 6 years without them, with no problems here.

Thanks Tom for your answer!
Yes, this is the clip I ment...So you suppose to just leave it away...
Basically, the fuel rail is fixed with four screws and these also 'hold' the injectors towards the rail...so I guess they can not slip out of it...

can anyone else confirm running without the retainer clips?

Cheers

Put a LR fuel rail and bigger injectors on the race car and also omitted the clips. So far no problems.

FYI, my Siemens 72's fit the injector clips fine with the stock rail. Got mine over at Racetronix

Yes, the stock clips will not work with Lindsey 55# injectors. Leave them off and rely on the fuel rail mounting bolts to tighten everything up.

Oh .. I use the clips with siemens 55# injectors.. No problems ............................... I think

Interesting, they didn't fit on my old Delphi/Rochester injectors, and so I'm not sure I even tried them on my 83lb seimens injectors. I may have to check that out.

Yup, the siemens injecors work fine with the clips. If you push the injector all the way up into the rail they won't work but if you pull them out just a bit they'll work.

Hello all

I received an answer from Dave Lindsey:

Ben,

It's not necessary that you use the clips. The injectors are contained (trapped) between the fuel rail and intake
manifold and cannot go anywhere. Install without the clips and move ahead.

With kind regards,

So, I think I'm really gonna install them without the clips...

Kind regards
