Calling ALL Deatschwerks Owners!!!! Too short?
 
Just went to put my 600's in this afternoon and found out they are about 3/8's of an inch shorter than my stockers? What's the trick? Or maybe I was sent the wrong ones?

Here are some pics for you guys to browse over...

Maybe get rid of the plastic spacers that go between the rail and the manifold? (they are sandwiched between bolts that hold rail down)

flipt86 08-23-2009 06:38 PM

Dustin,
I tried that, but the bolts then bottom out in the head...
Surely if you needed to leave out the spacers and get shorter bolts that would be mentioned somewhere. Hopefully they will get back to me soon, I emailed Mark @ Deatschwerks yesterday. I'm thinking that they were boxed wrong???

It's definitely possible they shipped you the wrong ones, but you might need shorter bolts as well.

When I tried to use my RC injectors without the spacers they poured fuel all over my garage.

I am pretty sure they shipped you some subaru injectors. Subaru inujectors are EXACTLY the same amount shorter than the miata ones, just like in the picture. Those are blue as well, and look like 06+ wrx injectors.

Rushin 08-24-2009 01:36 AM

my 600s were quite much shorter too. they moved a ton in the rail but still work fine and dont leak. I called deathschwerks and they said its normal.

Prospero 08-24-2009 06:04 AM

Hmm, where are your pintle caps?

flipt86 08-24-2009 06:59 AM

I don't think those are supposed to have pintle caps... I could be totally wrong though. Hopefully I'll hear from them today.

dc2696 08-24-2009 09:35 AM

Mine are the exact same, I had to pull out the isolators and use different bolts, work fine now though.

therieldeal 08-24-2009 10:43 AM

so i'm getting ready to order 600's too... i'm not sure how they can be called "direct fit" if you have to remove the isolators and whatnot to make it work...

Mine were direct fit. Pulled old, reused isolators, bolt in. No drama.

18psi 08-24-2009 11:33 AM

If those are subaru injectors (as I'm almost sure they are) they have a different spray pattern as well as no pintle caps. I WOULD NOT use them until you heard from DW.

Deatschwerks 08-24-2009 02:10 PM

Deatschwerks Injectors should be plug and play. We are contacting flipt86 and will resolve the situation.

flipt86 08-24-2009 05:46 PM

Top spacers are incorrect, sending me the right ones. Thanks for contacting me today, nice to get ahold of a company with good customer service. :) Thanks again.

therieldeal 08-26-2009 08:50 AM

glad to hear that its getting taken care of :D

Deatschwerks 08-26-2009 10:30 AM

We take our customer service very seriously.

TravisR 08-26-2009 04:43 PM

This is the first person I've ever heard of having any issue with the injectors. Deatschwerks are definitely the injectors I recommend for all the Adaptronics. The 600's idle flat at 15.2:1, and have plenty of pulsewidth up top for power.
