The hardest part is re-installing the hold down brackets. I used a retrieval magnet once I got it flipped up (I just dropped mine in the opposite way you do it, and then flip it up with my finger, piece of cake) to hold it in place. You can move it around to line the hole up and you don't have to worry about it falling back down. I don't have a magnetic socket, so I wrapped a piece of my parts receipt around the bolt head and stuffed it in the socket- holds it perfectly. Once I figured that out, putting the hold down brackets in takes about 20 seconds.
Thank you. Gave me the confidence to do this myself AND successfully on the first attempt. Didn't pull the fuse. I dealt with the little bit of gas with rags instead.
@@tunerworld None at all. I've seen where some people have a harder time with #6, but that was as easy as the others for me. I'm working on a 525hp 335is . Index8 could only get to 492hp before they showed their age when trying to push them hard after 68k miles of service. Still dialing in the new tune on the 12s. MHD did an update to the Mboost logic for the DCT recently that were adjusting for as well. I'm gonna surprise some C8 and Mustang owners when this is done.
@@FinnyG47 sweet man!!! Yeah Cylinder 6 sometimes sees some water sneak in thru those cowl seals and gets a bit corroded sometimes. I’m sure your car is gonna love those fresh injectors!
I couldn't of seen a better guide EVER. This is perfect buddy! Made me feel confident to do my injectors! Just waiting for them to turn up along with my Teflon compressor tool 😁😁
Important to note: When you remove injectors DO NOT WIGGLE THEM! The injector holes are prone to ovaling out, which will cause compression loss & fuel leaks out of the injector hole. You will be forced to buy an injector bore repair kit, so just take your time hammering the injectors upward!
hopefully i get a response before doing this tmr morning but after coding the injectors u mentioned to cycle the ignition right after , do u mean press the brake and start the car and then turn off or what exactly did u mean?
I have done everything to the tee in this video, i am now at the coding part. Am i missing a cord how do i connect to vehicle? I have the odb port that connects to my phone but what do i connect to vehicle for bmw 335xi
I am going to be doing this on my sons bmw 335 xi is it the same process for an xi? Also when u coded them from ur phone did u just plug it in a usb port? My sons car is 2008 335xi
Yep, same process with an XI! My main car is an XI. Correct, you hook up the USB to the phone using an OTG adaptor meant for your phone! Then you have to turn on developer settings on the android device
Ok so what tool you need to code the injectors? Can you do only with and app (special app) and a tool for that connect's to d car ? Tho I saw a geek word for an app
@@tunerworld I went ahead and install them both. However, trying to code them with ProTools Beemer geeks and when I choose driveline. It’s telling me the ECU is not responding, or may not be compatible with this vehicle.
would you happen to have a vid or know somewhere i can get a more in depth video on the coding? its my first time trying this myself so the terms are a bit vague for my low knowledge.
@@tunerworld as long as protool isn’t samsung based i will probably use that, if not available to me i’ll more than likely use a laptop with whatever software is most straightforward and reliable
@@tunerworld i’ll have to get a friend with an android out to help because every other interface to code them is excessively complicated for no reason, got my k+dcan INPA cable all ready to roll
I’m having issues with misfires after installing my injectors index12 off eBay.. I’m took my spark plugs out and noticed them very black You think I need new sparks plugs cuz they fouled out ? Car wasn’t misfiring before installing index 12
The calibration numbers are all the same? Where did you get the injectors from? They may be knockoffs as the calibration numbers should all be different
