Corbin's injector bungs broke on me =(

TalonESIT · 10-10-2006, 09:33 AM

I was trying to install bigger injectors last night, and was preparing to mount the fuel rail back onto the lower plenum, when 1 of the injector bungs slid right into the manifold!
This was Corbin's actual setup so I guess the JBwelds did not quite bite the outside like I had hoped. He told me I couldn't weld the bungs because they were too thin.

I have extra bungs I ordered, becuase I was going to build his system, but I am not familiar w/ anyone that welds aluminum over here. Plus, hahn is having a nice sale on their portfueler mounting setup, 1/2 off, so I just ordered their mounting kit.

To anyone that has had an 8-injector set-up, this shouldn't be a problem right? I mean it is just a hardware issue.

Right. As long as the injectors are secure, and they have a solid source of fuel, it shouldn't matter how they're mounted.

Oh wow, I didn't expect that. Thanks a lot, is that the name "mild 2 wild"? Because I was thinking at least I can fix the manifold and maybe someone here may want it.

I appreciate the info dynamite.

yes the name is now mild 2 wild but was at one time xtreme metal works and the owner has been welding for ages it seems and he knows his shit when it comes to fabricating.
both of our shops are at 5115 s. dean martin dr.

i also have the port fueler setup and have liked it so far, we will see what can be done with it though as i hope for low 11s to high 10s in the up coming months now that my new motor is in and can boost over 16psi now.

Thanks lol, i'm not looking to make much, if any money on it, just dont want it to collect dust if someone here can benefit from it =).

awddynamite: Wow sounds like you have a nice setup going on there, how long have you had the portfueler kit for? Whats size secondaries are your running?

i have had it for about one year now and have now decided to put my race motor in and try for big times, it has the 500cc secondaries, there is a thread on my car and video, the car went 12.4 @109 with a completely stock motor from head to block and made 308whp and 305ftlbs at 16psi daily on 100oct rebel pump gas.
