Replace
your cracked and leak prone plastic 1.8T injector cups once and for all
with Phenix Engineering’s Billet 1.8T Injector Cups
In 2011 we discovered that the plastic injector cups or known on the
other side of the pond as “injector seats” were slighly cracking and
leaking from heat and fuel exposure. This was found through boost leak
testing with a hot motor. The trouble codes that continued to come back
that lead to this test were a P0170 : Fuel Trim Malfunction Bank 1. By
doing a pressure test of the charge piping while spraying soapy water
over each connection the final weak point was discovered being the
injector cup area. The first thing that was done to attempt to solve the
leak was to replace the injector o-rings, which did not help prevent
the leak.
To create the solution to this problem, we designed a billet
replacement cup out of 6061-T6 Aluminum as well as a tighter fitting
o-ring to ensure better sealing under high boost applications. Next up
was to created our own inspection gages in order to ensure prefect
fitment for the threads. This is critical as the plastic threads are
designed to be able to be injection molded, a straight copy of the
threads would cause issues with fitment in the manifolds.
After machining in house on our CNC lathes, the parts then are hard
coat anodized to ensure that the longest life span possible for the
customer. After they are anodized they are assembled into kits with
sealing compound, new o-rings, a wire brush to clean the threads on the
manifold and a tool to remove the old plastic cups and install the new
Phenix Engineering Billet 1.8T Injector Cups.
Kit includes new sealant install tool, wire brush to remove old sealant and new Buna-N o-rings for the injectors.
*Installation should be done with the intake manifold removed from
the car. This is to prevent sealant and whatever other grime is on or
around your stock injector cups from dropping into the engine. After
removal of the stock injector cups the intake manifold threads will need
to be cleaned prior to installation.
