400cc injector install problems
I think I figured out the cause.... but here is the story.
I figured I would get all the preliminary stuff done before I turbocharge. Well, I put in the 300zx injectors and I noticed smoke coming out of the muffler. It was white so i knew it wasnt oil... As it ran longer fuel began dripping out of the exhaust and I cut the engine. I pulled off the upper intake again and noticed that one phelm had fuel lying on top of the valves. i thought maybe the 0-ring wasnt seated right so i changed the o ring and replaced (actually swapped a front one with the rear one incase it was a faulty injector).
Still the same problem... So i put the stock 3 back in the front and the smoke seemed less.
Im thinking that the 400cc with the walbro fuel pump is just delivering way too much fuel for the N/A engine. I guess I will just have to wait till Im actually turbo'ed to put these in.
Any one else ever try running the 400cc N/A and get white smoke and fuel drips?
Thanks

If you have not turned down base fuel pressure with an AFPR, have a walbro installed, and running an A32 MAF, then your dumping a tone of fuel.
I am also confuesed by your post. Your using a faulty injector? You put in 3 stock injectors and 3 400cc injectors? Please clairify.
Doing preliminary installs before the turbo goes on is a good idea. But that is for such things as the fuel pump, any guages, battery relocation. I would not have just installed 400cc injectors without any means to control them.

Make sure you grease up the O-rings, use motor oil or such to grease them. Like Bags said it is probably a torn O-ring(s), hence the white smoke and the fuel out the exhaust. Check and grease the O-rings.
