Okay, as some of you know i have been messing around with the best ways to go about delivering more fuel to the engine. Inline pumps, intank pumps, stock pump, etc. Either way I went I knew I was going to have to install some new injectors (went with the Seimen 60's) and end up having to cut my injector harness and solder on some new connectors. For most (including me) cutting and soldering is no big deal, but the fact of whacking of a stock injector connector is something I would rather not do if I didnt have too. So anyway here is the point of the thread.......

if I were to be able to make a Multec2-to-LS1 injector adapter...who would be interested?

The reason I ask is because I have found someone willing to get the multec2 "MALE" connector for me (as a favor he says.....sure whatever), but they are not going to be as cheap as the LS1 connectors from summit....quite a bit more actually. So before I go ordering a a bunch (because he says I have to order a certain amount or he cant help me) I was wondering if anyone would be interested in these if I got the parts and put them together? If not, no big deal cause i think i am going to buy them regardless....i just wanted to let you guys know if you were interested. I am going to wait till I get the pieces on my bench, test the connections, and verify that everything works, but from the pictures he sent....they look like the real deal. Let me know.

 

No idea's? This looks like the right connector doesnt it?

 

Talked to him again today and (24) of these are on thier way to me. I will have them no later than Thursday. I will let you know how they work out.

 

Good luck man...

 

I think demand will greatly depend on price. If they are big bucks, I don't know what people will pay for the convenience, when you can splice for what, 16 bucks? Will be interesting....

 

Yeah, i think the LS1 connectors are like $14.95 from summit (for 8 of them) and thats with free shipping, if you dont mind cutting the factory harness then you cant go wrong for that price. I am paying this guy a little over $5 a piece for the multec male connectors, then i figure i got about an hours worth of soldering in the wires. For me though, I will be happy if i can just snap in and go. Then i guess for anyone who wants to go back to stock to sell thier truck or whatever, can just unhook them and throw the multecs back in. I haven't had anyone even ask me about them yet....so im not sure it will even matter. I just wanted people to know it was at least an option now where when i was doing my searches everyone was saying it cant be done. I ordered enough from this guy to make 3 sets of 8 (enough to do three trucks) of course this assumes they will even work....all I have are pictures so far, but they look promising. I will know how they fit by Thursday. What i am really hoping for is once i get a few of these in my hand, i can get a Delphi or ACDelco part number off of them and find them a little cheaper. I will tell you though, i did a lot of searching and made a lot of phone calls to find these things so i dont know how easy it will be to find even with a valid part number.

 

Sounds interesting. I don't mind cutting and soldering new connectors on but...I may sell this truck sometime in the future and would like the option of a plug and play to return to stock injectors. I'm considering using the 42lb. injectors that came with my Radix instead of the stock 38lb.(flex fuel) injectors I'm currently using. Of course this will depend on cost but I am interested.

 

You dont have to worry about it unless you go higher than 42#'ers. Only us guys upgrading to the 60's and up have to cut and splice.

 

yeah, cut and splice isn't such a big deal is the problem. PLUS factor in that an adapter is now 2 (technically 4) non-soldered connections in your injector wiring instead of one. You know what I mean? Each clip is only making surface contact to conduct the electricity. More room for corrosion and error. Not that it would happen, and probably never does, but cut and solder eliminates another connection or coupling in the wire that is already very important. And let's face it, "cut and solder" is a little bit of an aggressive description. You are cutting and putting a clip on the end. Soldering the pins in the clip is HIGHLY advisable but not necessary (I did).

The adpater for quick install and easy return to stock is the selling point, but price will certainly wage the interest cause I just don't see the problem with cutting the multecs off and putting EV1's on.

 

I agree with everything you said....simply giving an option....I am surely not in it to make a living....LOL....just providing a few if anyone is interested. I saw a butt load of questions when I was searching on why there were no adapters from the multecs....of course half of those were from Brian...LOL....just kidding Brian
