Injector help

e3sean · December 30th, 2007, 05:06 AM

ok so i bought a set of injectors they are from an 03 cobra and the plug hole is too deep could i shave the injector side down to make it work?? i dont see why not i just wanted to get some input before i started cutting.. they run on the same electrical pulse i am positive i can get to mate it may not clip on but i can make them shay in..

I wouldn't..... Its going to cause loose connections and problems down the road. I wonder if all 4Vs use the same socket. You may be able to yank a harness from one out of a junkyard and solder the other connectors into your existing harness.

e3sean · December 30th, 2007, 05:17 AM

just to note i just want to shave the plastic to flush the petal prongs with the hole like the oem injectors then it should be able to be plugged in. do u think it could be done?

e3sean · December 30th, 2007, 05:20 AM

maybe ill just sell them and get another set i dont want to cut and splice i dont want to mess with the integrity of the wires..

C MY 4D · December 30th, 2007, 05:25 AM

After looking at the pins closer not only are the offset in the hole but they are sunken in. Are the base of those injectors even the same? Its better to sell them.

e3sean · December 30th, 2007, 05:28 AM

yes they are the same leinght they fit in the rail and intake the plug fits in it just doesnt go down all the way. the only differnce are the pins sit a little deeper in the socket and the pins are not as wide.. i just posted an add on craigslist to sell them so hopefully someone wants them..

someone sells injector harness extensions to mate the stock injector harness to those injectors. if i remember who i'll post it up.

Ford sells the harnesses for around $8.00 a piece.
you have to splice your wiring to get the Cobra injectors to work.
I did the same swap from 19 the 39 as you did.
Make sure you get yourself a tune for them man.
I would also invest in some heat wrap as well. electrical tape= poop when hiding hot wires.

Use the adapters like HMUSN said...

They work great...

e3sean · December 30th, 2007, 02:51 PM

ya but for the cost of these plus 64$ for the connectors i could have bought a set made for my car so ill just sell these and get the right ones so i dont have to worry about it.. what year did they start putting this style on mustangs or is it just cobras??

HMUSN · December 30th, 2007, 02:53 PM

the pigtails for the 39 pound injectors are exclusive to the 03-04 Cobras

Now you have the right idea.

Do not modify the stock harness or these injectors to try and make them work it will only end up casuing problems.

Get the Correct Injectors in the correct flow rate you need.

HMUSN · December 30th, 2007, 02:56 PM

I had no problems when I did it

remember you will NEED a tune if you up your injectors man.

i know my car is still in peices and it just got switched to mass air from speed density plus there is a 347 stroker going in with a set of 373's and a rebuilt transmission the car is going to be 100% differnt car then when i drove it into the garage.. and its sad but thats all i got to do.. when i bought it the guy drove it to my house and all i did was drive it into the garage from the street and rip the engine out same day. i never even got to feel what she could do before i started everything.. so ya its gonna need a good tune.

HMUSN · December 30th, 2007, 03:16 PM

good luck with her.

sneezingfox · December 30th, 2007, 03:31 PM

Yes, there are adapters that enable you to make these work without modifying ANYTHING.
