*General* FAST LSXr 102 thread
I'm just frustrated is all. It just seems like I always find out AFTER the fact.
Thanks for the find. I just never heard anyone telling me that these won't work until now so I didn't even think about the possibility. Saw one guy who responded to my WTT thread who's running them, but I wonder. Like that thread stated "My rule of thumb is that there should be no interference on the side of the inector causing any deflection which can stress the seal at the o-ring." This is making me wonder what that person did the get them to work, if they work at all and weren't ditched after a month.
And oddly enough, searching through Google works better than searching on here. (for Tech threads)
Got my questions answered by Bill @ FIC. I'm in the same boat as Bayer, but without the parts in hand. I need new injectors as well
. This is getting ridiculous. Looks like my tax return is going to vanish. The Best V8 Stories One Small Block at Time
And it is rather frustrating. And the reason I never asked, was because I had to reason to think otherwise. Anyone who is posting in here is looking for information on what is needed to swap the intake and what it involves. I didn't know that the intake needed certain injectors. Alike everything else with this PITA swap. MOST of the reason I started this thread. It will put most of the gripes and stuff to watch out for in one thread.
), but all ya gotta do is ask around. Here is my set-up, and I hope it helps some of you out:
-FAST 102 (Mamo ported soon)
-FAST 60# injectors (LS2 style with LS1 harness adapters) NO spacer kit required
-MAP extension for front install (it's mighty tight behind the intake on a Camaro/T/A)
-Godspeed 102 TB (sensor holes need a little "opening up")
-4" connector/bellows
-Callaway 100mm MAF
-FTP 104 lid (just arrive today)
-AC Delco LS2 Water pump (to avoid grinding the OG water pump)
-FAST LS2/Stock style fuel rails
The list above has made my life easy!
Now... the issues below might serve to help others:
The waterpump - Buy a new one for $190 like I did to avoid the grinding or just grind yours....which is a pain.
Injectors - Now we know there is an injector issue, you need the skinnier ones. The skinny LS injectors car be used, but you'll need the FAST spacer kit. The fuel rail will also sit higher due to the spacers. Remember, the 102 is an LS2 based manifold, so LS2 rails SHOULD be used to avoid any leaks and to get the best fitment.
Inline Nitrous Set-ups - Depending on the nitrous set-up, it may not clear a cowl/stock hood.
Strut Tower Braces - Do not fit with 102's. 6litereater is addressing the issue with a new custom design. As soon as my motor is in, we'll begin test fitting.
Are there any other issues to help others out with?

There's definitley no clearance issues with the LS2??
And there was a guy who posted in here somewhere about the Meziere with the 102. I don't remember if there were clearance issues or not.
