hey crazy, i know what tbi means . i was just under the impression that i didnt have tbi since my motor is carbed. sorry , dude.

I haven't been fortunate enough to find a junkyard that has a junked Sentra of that year, yet. I'm still searching...

Alternatively, are the injectors the same for the e16 and ga16? I'm sure the size is the same, but what about the specs? If things still don't work out, I just may put my original injector into the ga16 tb and use an aftermarket fuel regulator.. nothing should be any different from the factory E16 set up, aside from a wider opening throttle body.

That sounds like a great idea, but if the injectors were the same wouldn't they have the same resistance???

***** Whitefox, that may be the simplest solution. In order to remove and replace a tbi injector, remove the little rubber cap that reveals the terminal loops at the top of the injector. Remove the harness connector for the injector plate cover, unscrew the top plastic plate, don't lose the thin O-ring under the plate, and unscrew the aluminum injector cover. Make note of how deep the injector is in the tbi body, before you take the injector out. That way you will know if you have tapped the new one in all the way later. Then yank out the injector. I don't know if there is a special tool for that, but if there is, I have never seen one. I carefully grab the plastic top of the injector with a pair of vice-grips, twist and pull upwards. Make sure you spray some WD-40 or the like, on the injector O-rings, and phase the injector correctly, before you put it back in [there are pos. and neg. terminals]. I usually tap the injector in fully with socket that just fits around the top of the injector. If you have not tapped the injector in all they way, you will know quicky, as it will leak like crazy and flood the engine. I usually cylcle the key once, to run the fuel pump, and check it visually before staring it. Good Luck!

hey guys , quick question. i maybe out of the loop but whats the diff between the e16i and the e16s . i was told that i have the s motor. just wanted to know the difference between the 2, thanks.

WhiteFox · Nov 29th, 2002, 03:21 AM

The e16i has throttle body fuel injection, the e16s has a carb.

Have you got the car running yet??

WhiteFox · Nov 29th, 2002, 03:54 PM

Sadly, I've had no luck in getting the car to run. Of course, the freezing weather hasn't been much of a help lately either.

I'll post with any progress; which I hope is soon. Sorry to keep everyone waiting, but this will work if it's the last thing I do.

***** In the USA, the D21 pickups had the Z24i, which had a tbi with two injectors. No Stanzas ever had tbi here. They went from carbs in '83 [CA20S], to port FI in '84 [CA20E].

I've actually thought of that too. But the problem would be [again] the ecu can only fire the single injector. So the twin injectors would need a stand alone engine management system. You and I think alike Marty!

Search the web for "megasquirt" It's a DIY fuel injection computer, costs about $100 for the parts to assemble it, and it can control up to two injectors. It even supports turbocharging.
