Enjoy it!! You've put in a ton of work now, savour it all.
I would enjoy it, take it from someone who just kept says "well I'm here so let's do xxxx" then you never get to enjoy the car. Awesome work so far, looks like a fun drive. Weight reduction usually leads to a loud car, while it's cool for a bit you will get over that and not enjoy it as much imo.
Supercharger and turbo this time?
For some reason, when I put the adapter/rubber cushion pictured below on the right front DW injector it would leak. The rubber wouldn't compress enough when the rail was tightened down and the top o-ring wouldn't fully seal. What corrected this issue? Also, curious what you were using to lube the o-rings? Did you just end up getting new o-rings and cushions? I've had great success with using Dow Corning Molykote 55 O-ring grease. In addition to lubricating the o-ring it actually causes the o-ring to swell for a better seal. Nice numbers by the way!
I ended up just removing the bottom rubber cushion shown in the picture. That was enough for everything to torque down just fine and not leak. I think the route cause is the stock metal fuel rail lines that you need to bend up a bit to get the old injectors out without taking off the I/M. They're hard to bend down into the exact same position after installing the new injectors. The seals were all brand new and I was using the grease supplied from DW so I don't think that was the issue.
If you're having forum problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but your post ain't one.
