GM Corvette TPI L98 Step by Step Injector Swap Video Guide (10 min. video) Better Quality

[@xraided04loc]

i know very little about cars and working on cars. thanks to your video i was able to successfully replace my fuel injectors and now my corvette runs!! now it looks like a need a radiator.. thank you for your video!!

[@tvr2120]

You're welcome ! Glad it helped you !

[@tvr2120]

If you are installing Bosch III models with the extra o-ring seat , i recommend manifold first and then carefully install the fuel rail on top, but for my specific case i had to install them on the rail first to install the small locking clips on them.

[@BarkingTitty]

Your fly is down @7:24 LOL. Nice video. Very helpful

[@wfrsd]

you are very talented,i wish i was able to do that.i have 3 corvettes and keeping them in good shape is expensive. very good job man.

[@tvr2120]

+wfrsd Thanks! Keep the good work, it gets expensive once you get into mods because that's addictive! and you'll always want more:D

[@wtsig76]

I learned some good info. Thanks

[@tvr2120]

wtsig76 Glad it helped you !

[@RANS87IROCZ]

awesome vid of great detail! nice work, best tip is those tricky bolts like you said, for the runners on the inside, 1st time I ever tore mine apart, I was stumped, but I pulled the plenum off and then saw them. was like yep thats it. but cool vid

[@Awavy1]

Thank you for telling me where the hidden torx were located!

[@tvr2120]

You're welcome

[@nedaCFilms]

@srtgarret The L98 TPI had a MAF in the beginning, then switched to just MAP sensor...

[@tvr2120]

You're welcome !!! Glad to know it was useful !!!

[@frogthinker]

Note that putting the new injectors in the manifold first minimizes the risk of damaging the o-rings in the fuel rail. Both methods work but manifold first is safer.

[@izzydizzy1115]

Nice work!

[@tvr2120]

Thanks +Izzy Dizzy

[@tvr2120]

@bran20man It's possible but it worked well that way, i cannot remember i don't have that setup anymore Thanks for the heads up !

[@superman3755]

thanks for the video it was a life saver

[@tvr2120]

I'm using 24 lbs, they still run great !

[@tvr2120]

@caddyboy84 yes, but after doing it for the first time you get used to it and you'll find out that it's pretty easy. Bosch III are a real good upgrade, and FIC is just the best ! You can visit Corvetteforum com the tech section and do a search for FIC , you will never be wrong with them. Yes its a good replacement, but i chose later the older style injectors because of the clips which i like better. Sign in at Corvetteforum ! See ya there !

[@tvr2120]

@ChevyTech Yes they do,but the video is edited

[@Jmprofessionalimagin]

Saludos,buen video,y tremenda musica que estas escuchando(marc anthony)

[@Artyfil]

Nice video... but you should include 305 TPI and LB9 in the tags because that engine uses the same fuel injection system. You'll get more hits on the video and help more people. :)

[@tvr2120]

You are right!

[@tvr2120]

@Artyfil Thanks for the heads up ! Done !

[@roadwraith6]

great video. I am in the middle of putting everything together. the gaskets got destroyed when I took it apart. I am using a gasket paste but notice now once I am putting the top part on there is quite some play 1mm on each side. the org thick gaskets would probably fill out that's space. do you think that it would be ok to screw it tight with paste or it will be a dead end?

[@tvr2120]

Jimmie, please call Jon at fuelinjectorconnection.com at 770-888-1662 they will set you up with everything, including new rail orings which is a must, you don't want any possible leaks, let me know how it went !

[@roadwraith6]

Calderone (tvr2120) I would if i lived in sweden. I Have already found smal air leaks so When i am finish I expect a corvette engine with many new found horsepowers that wasnt there before :) I have halted my work until I can get my hands on new gaskets.

[@tvr2120]

Jimmie add them on Facebook , they can hook you up with everything, i did lots of mods to mine and runs 0-120 under 5 seconds, im very happy with it. >>> facebook.com/Ficinjectors/

[@tvr2120]

Check kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXLbdaB4Z9esptU

[@DJ80s]

Are those clips from the orignal factory set up or did they come with the new injectors?

[@gavinoflores11]

Hey I have a camaro iroc z28 . 87 what you think about the 36 pounds injectors . ?

[@tvr2120]

Gavino Flores it depends on the rest of your setup & tune, i suggest you to call Fuel Injector connection at 770-888-1662 for advice.

[@tvr2120]

You're welcome !!!

[@jonathanpiedra581]

Hey man my car gets a rough idle and shuts off on me while driving and reaching warm temperatures. Then I have to wait for it to cool down to start again. Can it be injectors?

[@tvr2120]

Check your sensors first, IAC, O2 sensor, TPS , get the codes, then contact Fuelinjectorconnection for injectors

[@tvr2120]

@caddyboy84 Hi, why did this job took so long , this is a 2 hour video edited into a 10 minute segment, the injector swap is pretty easy once you get used to it, why remove the EGR Valve ? it does not affect the fuel rail , Why the gas keep leaking ? you have to depressure the system first, never touched the vacuum module, and yes both runners has to come out. What was the TPI care you were working on ? Pics if possible thanks !!!

[@tvr2120]

@srtgarret MAF Is not present in the 1990 model only

[@213SMILEY213]

Do i need to have the retainer clips on the injectors that are in the fuel railMine never had them

[@tvr2120]

+Alejandro Montoya i like them just to be safe but the rail keeps the injectors in place with no problems

[@camaro88iroc]

@srtgarret only on 89 and earlier models!

[@22AMOPRO]

mmmmmmmmman that's a lot wow I was going to polish that but damn that's a lot of work

[@idus]

How many lbs is your injectors?

[@nedaCFilms]

I like to use the 24lb. LT1 injectors...

[@LuvmyVR6]

I don't remember having this issue last time I did it about 7 years ago lol so I just have to let it drain out?

[@tvr2120]

First thing is to disconnect the negative battery pole, that's all, Fuel pump won't work with no battery. No fuel will come out, That is all.

[@LuvmyVR6]

I aready have my plenum off and fuel rail off just had to stew back in to make it stop is it still ok to start car?

[@tvr2120]

No don't start it, disconnecting the battery is a MUST before you work on the car.

[@SasquatchIsComing]

Did you get the fuel rail and gasket seal kit as well? Is it totally necessary?

[@tvr2120]

Alex Johnston It's totally recommendable, i wouldn't reuse 25+ year old orings and gaskets if i have the chance to refreh them, you can have the right parts calling at 770-888-1662 FuelInjectorConnection.com Good Luck !

[@SasquatchIsComing]

Thanks alot. I got in contact with them yesterday. I was stupid and didnt get the kit when I ordered mine.

[@tvr2120]

Alex Johnston You're welcome, best customer service ever, great products & prices, can't beat Fuel Injector Connection for real !

[@logman2012]

Calderone (tvr2120) dude....u are the greatest..video is great...could use your skills here in Florida to help me get my C4 from running so rich....some small modes were done on my 85 before i bought it...you think having a dyno to get me a OBDL EPOM will solve my issue. ..Memory Calibration (MemCal)....rather not go my to stock. ...wonder which is cheaper..

[@tvr2120]

Yes i got them, i wouldn't re-use old gaskets and seals on all of my builds, i wouldn't risk to have a fuel leak to save some pocket change

[@Marco_A_Marcano_Soto]

LOKO buena musika, Marc Anthony in the back ground, en donde estas.

[@tvr2120]

Chile, no lo habia notado :) es el stereo del vecino :)

[@LuvmyVR6]

Any idea why the fuel won't stop coming out of the fuel lines? I disconnected the battery

[@tvr2120]

You had to relieve the pressure yet, remove the fuel pump fuse, start the engine and let it die. If not, lots of fuel will come out.

[@tvr2120]

@corvettesRbetter Thanks !

[@PBRfabco]

Thanks for the info... You sound like you could be a radio dj..ijs

[@tvr2120]

Thanks lol, really? :)

[@tvr2120]

[@Hugo350R]

[@tutchngoes]

how much would this job cost at the shop

[@tvr2120]

+tutchngoes you'll need to ask around, check on Facebook "C4 Modified Group" maybe some local would love to help you.

[@pizzaguyaz]

+tutchngoes I heard one estimate of $1700

[@FlyingPlatypusGamess]

i saw a chevrolet corvette c3 TPI motor for sale but the seller says it is an economical modern engine, how much would that use in kilometre/litre?

[@tvr2120]

TPI rules on the highway mileage when using with TH700R4 overdrive, anyway C4's had TPI, C3's had Crossfire Injection for the last model.

[@SCIONNE14]

Where are you located?

[@tvr2120]

Chile, Southamerica

[@tvr2120]

@DJ80s Factory clips

[@tvr2120]

It depends on your setup , you can go to CorvetteInjectors com and use the contact form , they will give you EXCELLENT costumer service , let em know you found them here

[@tvr2120]

@spoolinomni to this day,they are still unzipped

[@BobSmith-ww9rp]

I did this job about 10 times already, what a poor design on gm part for the year, my poor torx bolts does not hold up well after many disassembles. (had to replace erg valve twice, injectors 3 times, misc vacuum lines and random troubleshooting's the rest of the times):)

[@billwilson3792]

this job sucks. This is a 30 year old motor with 30 year old parts. be careful you don't break anything. When I unbolted my fuel lines the copper tubing crumbled and broke. The video id exactly what its like to do. Good luck
