Not sure if you still care but I was able to get into the garage today and started the teardown.

Here is a picture of #6



The left wire is always yellow with a black stripe

The right wire is:

1 : brown
2 : red
3 : blue
4 : yellow
5 : black/brown stripe
6 : white/blue stripe

After Installing these injectors, my MPG has went way up to 45+ MPG. Im currently getting a Etune from Vitviper, but my MPG is staying high. Is this normal for these injectors?
I have a 2006 TL M/T with straight pipe, light weight crank pulley, CIA, and RDX injectors with a flashpro.

Duty cycle changes compared to stock so the MID calculation is not correct.

Do the old fashioned math and you'll see the difference.

buying a house in the next month after 6 months of searching plus the 2 kids and wife so I understand. I just made 2 batteries out of 4 small 12VDC batteries (link) I have in my job and walmart plastic bin so I could atleast have a battery in my car for the alarm. haven't had one for months. One charging on the side while the other is in use. Not bad so far. 8 days and I went from 12.88 to 11.57.. Besides that. car hasn't been touched.

The temps are above freezing so I spent 2 days out in the garage tearing the top end down to see what's up with #5 and why I have so much blowby.
Halted by the fact that I couldn't find my crank pulley tool and had to order another. It should be in today.
Still rocking the turbo and deciding on rods/pistons.
Winter/Spring was brutal this year. -15degF in March isn't right.

OP I noticed you said everything fit perfectly, does that mean you didn't have to cut the injectors like in those other threads that are referenced?

I meant trim the plastic, one of the other threads shows the OP cutting away a lot of the plastic to adjust it to fit, curious if these injectors fit into the runners and fuel rails out of the box or if they have to be adjusted in the 3G TL as well.

I have my rdx injectors and scion tc clips for same if anyone is interested. My injectors were flow tested before I bought them. At 60 psi they flow around 560cc respectively, 200 shipped for all, they are modified to fit any J.

Kn tl I'm currently building my motor as well. I have acquired a set of 3.7 rods and a crank, type S heads but I'm looking for good forged pistons, if I didn't get a 3.7 rod and crank setup o I would have utilized k series pistons but my compression will be to high for forced induction. Let's collaborate son ��

Did you see my post where the one stroked j32 with FI ate a 6MT almost instantly? The person who did this immediately went back to the stock stroke.

The same pistons were used in his stroked setup as I am using now in the stock stroke configuration.

So i finally moved into the house and got mostly settled in and now i have to inspect my car. here is jersey, they just look for the CEL. Im running rich no matter what so i think i will start with replacing my 2step colder plugs to stock and see if this helps with my 5K wall.. i really dont want to cut and resolder original plugs for my injectors again but if it comes to it, i will buy adapters afterwards so i can easily go back to stock injectors when needed.
Anil, did you ever get them?

just and FYI the 07-08 TL will not need the TC clips. since the 310CC injector have the same clip design as the rdx.

@InFaMouSLink not everyone knows. Swoosh didn't

07-08 base also got the 310cc injectors.

the fuel rail and lines were also changed. I had the lines but toss it in the trash since I couldn't get the fuel rail and the hose to work with my car. Just ended up keeping the injector only for the 310cc

I don't think that's correct.

Type-S
16450-RJA-A01 INJECTOR ASSY., FUEL 006 2007 TL 152.78 114.59

Base
16450-RCA-A01 INJECTOR ASSY., FUEL 006 2007 TL 56.02 42.02

Significant price difference.....

Hmm I could have swore they did.

Since the newer j motors have 310cc regardless of 3.5/3.7L

but the base has a 3.2L engine and look:

2006 Base (duh): 16450-RCA-A01
2007 Base : 16450-RCA-A01
2007 Type S: 16450-RJA-A01


so the 07-08 Base DOES have 280cc injectors....so I think we did know, you didnt
