keybaud Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The Vx manifold I purchased recently is a SBD design and has injector ports in the manifold itself (SBD TP7-K), whereas I need a standard Jenvey design (MV-07) that does not have these ports, as the injectors are part-way down the throttle bodies. The manifold is a better fit than my current one, so rather than sell it on, does anyone know a simple solution to blocking up injector ports without causing any damage to the manifold? One day I will finish the carbs to TB conversion I started 17 months ago... Edited by - keybaud on 19 Aug 2013 18:50:02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Buy some second hand injectors from ebay and fit those. More prettily get your local engineering company to turn op 4 alloy bungs in the form of injector bodies. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to use injectors, as there wouldn't be a fuel rail to hold them in place and I don't know how secure they would be without one; however, I've got a friend who has just bought a new lathe and may be able to make something.

Molecular--Bob Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Jenvey sell these here. Might need some epoxy for a permanent fit, but jenvey are quick to reply if you need instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_pank Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Some rubber bungs? The manifold runs at below atmospheric pressure so it will tend to suck them in rather than blow them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keybaud Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 My friend with a lathe has just asked if I want the plugs in Aluminium or Titanium. Oh, yeah. Now that's a good friend to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birkin S3 ZA. Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 On my duratec I used epoxy to blank the injector holes in the head as I will only use the TBs mountings, looks like the hole never existed and the port is finished of flush with the walls.

Birkin S3 ZA. Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Its a product made by Sika South Africa, tubs are rather old so I cannot read the name or code. I have used it a few motors with no problems. Not sure what you could use, but there is nothing special about this one. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
