While disassembling to do the injectors and AFPR, I quick did a compression test.
1 - 210
2 - 210
3 - 210
4 - 200
5 - 175
6 - 200

Cyl 5 might be part of the reason we saw so much smoke in that video I posted... But still seems good enough to let er buck for a little while

Started on the fuel system. Got the injector clip pigtails soldered in in-place of the stock clips. Then installed the injectors. Decided to install my AEM AFPR since I was right there. I had a spare -6 to M12 x 1.5 fitting laying around. Found the hole where the stock FPR was mounted accepts an M12 tap pretty much perfectly as-is without drilling the hole any larger. So I tapped it and installed the fitting. The AEM AFPR inlet ports are made to screw into a -6AN fitting. So I mounted it right to the fitting on the fuel rail. Nice and simple/clean, I really liked it! Just didn't like the way it pointed. So I tried to turn the fitting a little bit more. Oops, snapped the fitting

I was able to extract it so no real harm. I ordered some replacement fittings from Summit that arrived today. So I finished up the install today. I'm pretty happy with how simple of a setup it is.

Next I need to get the car running on the new injectors, and set the base FP with the new AFPR. Then install the dual 255hp pumps, get it half-way dialed in, then take it to Shane at DB Performance to get it tuned on the dyno at around 15psi levels for now.

Anyhow, on to some pics of the injector/AFPR install:

Tinning the pigtails:

All pigtails soldered/heat shrunk in place:

Tapping fuel rail for M12 x 1.5 fitting (if I were to do this again, I would have done 3/8npt)

Fuel rail tapped

Fitting installed. You can see the blue fitting is the M6x1.5 for the Fuel Feed. The silver one is the spare one I had laying around and is being used for the return end

Injectors and fuel rail installed. Again, big thanks to Shane at DB Performance for helping me pick these injectors out, and getting the correct ones on the first try for this car, and the great price!

New set of BCPR7ES plugs

AFPR wasn't in the exact angle I wanted so I tried turning it a little more, Ooops

Easy out to save the day

Purchased a new bunch of fittings from Summit (didn't take pics of it all though). Ended up using the same blue Earls fitting for the return as I had on the feed (I like the oring it comes with).

AEM AFPR installed with Turbosmart gauge. I love the stealth black look

Big thanks again to MAPerformance for the great price on the AFPR setup

Hard to see, but I simply used a 3/8" male-male barbed fitting to extend the stock rubber return hose to reach the new AFPR

All done
