Pics of injectors

Can you possibly send me some closeups of how the injector bungs are mounted in the F150 manifold or at least post them up?

Also do you have a part number for the an fitting that you used that goes to the factory fuel rail?

Looks familiar


For real though, this is great progress! I'm finishing up my intercooler plumbing and starting on wiring everything right now and under-hood space is definitely becoming an issue lol but it's not this bad. This is some great inspiration though, I'd love to give that aux injection a try at some point!

The nitrous is wired up, TPS sensor is programmed, the heater works, purge works, and nitrous solenoid works under WOT....at least it works with the engine off.

You can see under the console lid there is a group so buttons. Arming, heater, automatic bottle opener (will install later) and the purge button.

What a mess of wires!!!

On top of the console around the e-brake handle I have a master arming switch for everything nitrous related, it powers the small group of switches inside the console.

The other switch is the master arming switch for the line loc, the red button is the to engage the line loc.

I believe if you check towards the beginning of the thread you will see several pics of the injector install. Check it out and let me know if you need something else.

Here's the adapter

Lol, yep that's pretty close!

Ya it all barely fits, tetris comes to mind. For aux fuel check this out, not for 3.5 yet.

I meant the adapter that is on top of the manifold, the one that is in the auxiliary fuel rail.

Oh the fuel rail, it's from a 2011+ 3.7 mustang.

Lol..... no I know it's a stock fuel rail it's the adapter that goes into that fuel rail... I see you have braided steel line feeding that rail,,,,,, I need that connector that goes from the braided line to the factory fuel rail.

Excuse some of my questions and sort of thread jack but where did you find the shouldered injector bungs.

I milled the lower down to the gaskets so I can use all stock heater hoses and not use the F150 water pipe. I was going to mount the injectors in the spacers as I did on the Taurus manifold but I like your approach better. I'm fighting for space but have a high rise hood. My ultimate goal in running this setup, first N A,,, but then to use the 3,7 heads on a 3,5 short block and avoid the whole control pack issues. Just not sure how well the 3.5 to 3.7 heads will blend. But it would save a **** load of money and get me a forged block.
Taurus setup.

Here's a link to the bungs I used

Cool project, I would think the heads would fit fine.

EDIT: fixed the link

Thanks for the inspiration to get my butt going again and the saving me hours of research for what I need in small parts. Also that install of injectors on top is something I never even thought of.

Cool, no problem!

I didn't find this until after I started working on mine but someone else has installed injectors in an aluminum manifold. Www.ecopowerparts.com sells them, his name here is mtxexpert I believe. So depending on which manifold you want you can decide how to install the bungs.

Well if I go Procharger or a current turbo kit I can use my Taurus manifold as it turns the stock 3.7 direction and I know it already works as is NA. The F150 NA should work better as it has much more volume... anyways, I like the bolt on F150 setup a lot better!!!

I wish that my setup would have worked with the Taurus manifold because I would have used it. I'm sure you know but for everyone else the Taurus and F150 air inlet orientation is completely different.

The reason why I would have preferred the Taurus manifold is because it was a PITA to expoxy the bungs and get them sealed to hold pressure. It's very difficult to apply the expoxy to the inside of the manifold. Welding the aluminum would have been less "ghetto" overall. My main concern is that I'll be spraying fuel inside a plastic manifold, if there's a backfire the plastic will not survive but the aluminum most likely would.

If you want pm me for the custom made plates I have for pressure testing the manifold. That's the only way I found my leaks.

I installed the nitrous nozzle in the aluminum 90 just before the throttlebody.
