This is going to sound rude, but its real advice- if you do not know where the fuel injectors are by glancing at the engine, you probably shouldn't attempt to change them, the aftermarket injectors are taller and require a spacer, but if you put them in wrong it is going to be a hazard. The same thing applies to the pump, if you haven't done a fuel pump before, modifying the pump assembly is not a good place to try your first one. Again, I'm not trying to be rude, I just don't recommend messing with fuel components unless you are sure of what you're doing.

While doing the pump and injectors is not by any means easy. With proper photo documentation it can be done by an enthusiast in his driveway. I sure wish I had the FBM fuel pump photos before I put the pump back in and realized I wasn't getting any fuel to the fuel rails. Their pictures really me understand how best to modify the bucket to get the taller pump to fit. It involved a drill, hack saw, and zip ties.

I just tend to be a little cautious because, not every enthusiast has the know how that you do. I can tell you HORROR stories of fuel related installs gone wrong, but I also work closely with the Honda world which is a whole other realm of "enthusiasts", lol

I remember doing a Walbro and 550cc injectors on an LS motor as part of a custom turbo kit build I did back in 2005. I think the install on a "Honda" was easier than the install on the BRZ was this weekend, haha.

@Pure Automotive

Will you include pictures and install instructions with any kits purchased through you? Do you include the injector spacers? What are the estimated costs for an install like this one? How much would you estimate it costs to modify the oil pan accordingly?

@Pure Automotive

Have you relocate the coolant reservoir to a different place? is it possible to install the piping without removing the passenger side head lights and the coolant reservoir?

Hey bud, we provided the brackets to relocate the reservoir

The reservoir still sits in the same place, just a new bracket. The passenger side piping can be installed without removing the headlight, but we chose to remove it because it allows for easier access, you have the bumper off already anyway, so its just a few extra bolts.

There is a set of installation instructions/pictures that can be supplied to you. The injector spacers are included. I recommend professional installation at an experienced shop. Installation is going to vary based on where you go and what their labor rate is. It can be anywhere from $800 to well over $1000 depending on where you take it. I highly recommend having the oil pan mocked up and angled properly, then tack welding it in the car to ensure that it holds in the correct place and angle. Once it is tacked in place, remove it and take it to an experienced welder to make sure you get a perfect seal to avoid leaks.

I was hoping I'd be able to do this in my garage oh well.

How long does it take you guys to install the kit? Is it just a day or closer to a week?

I say go for it then man. If you have the mechanical knowledge to install it and the right tools, go for it. Mock up the return on your oil pan by holding it in place and running the line to it to see where it will fit the best, leave some room for error (make it a little closer rather than further because you can always trim the line back some) and then drop the oil pan and take it to a professional to have welded on. I was quoted $40 by a local shop for them to tap and weld the fitting if i brought them the oil pan.

You can do it. I would plan for two full days if everything goes well, but levae a third as a backup. I just posted my thread about my install experience.
