The same injectors that the old D-Jtonics used? I have some from a 72
Mercedes 280SEL 4.5 laying around somewhere.

Thanks, Tom

The WBX injectors have a relatively proprietary barbed inlet.
I have only seen this style injector elsewhere on early Nissan/Datsun
280Z's.

VW went with a standard injector type used by many different
manufacturers
in their watercooled EFI cars.  The 1.8 Golf/Jettas use a 19lb injector,
probably the same flow rate as the WBX injectors.

Previous discussions on the list have suggested building fuel rails from
aluminum injector stock.  Not too difficult for those with decent skills
and
proper equipment.
These rails can be drilled to 13.5mm to fit the more common o-ringed
Golf/Jetta injectors.
This would eliminate the plastic fuel rails and allow use of injectors
you
can buy new for around $100 a set.

In that case, you have a handful of spares - a good idea.

I wonder if anyone has an injector cross reference that can be used to
locate donors from non Vanagon's? Such a cross reference would ne very
handy
to those searching scrap yards for parts.
