Title: source for complete injectors
Post by: jimfoo on December 06, 2007, 08:07:01 am
I will be needing complete injectors for my new head 1Z/AHU. I know KERMATDI sells some, which I am tempted to get, but is there somewhere that sells used ones I could get rebuilt, as I really need to keep costs down?

Ok, I got my injectors. One has a wire on it which if I remember is for the timing for the ECU, right? How does it work? Does it just make a connection, is it piezeo? I'm just thinking it would be really handy to put in Cyl 1 of my future M-TDI to be able to use the signal for a timing light as once installed, it is very hard to get the dial indicator screwed in. But I need to know exactly what it does first.

not sure of the signal, but it basically gives the pump an idea of when the injectors are opening.  doesn't really help much if the other 3 injectors are opening at different pressures though...  you should just leave the 3rd injector in its spot otherwise you'll possibly need special injection lines, and bending them should seriously be avoided.

a step in the right direction though! would be pretty cool if you could use that wire to time your engine to the breaking pressure.
