With all the threads on injector swaps, I couldn't actually find a thread on how to actually do it. So, here we are.
First Thing you're going to want to do, is turn on the car and pop the hood. Open the fuse box in the bay and pull the Fuel Pump Relay. After the car stalls, crank the engine a few more seconds to ensure there's no fuel left in the rail. Now disconnect the negative terminal of the battery so there's a reduced risk of fuel vapor detonation and re-install the fuel pump relay. (Detonation is very unlikely. I spilled gas everywhere but I'm still here)
With me so far? Good. Here's were things get fun. Remove the entire upper intake manifold (there's a thread detailing how to do this with pictures [you need to scroll down] that really help out).
Now that you've gotten the pesky Upper Intake Manifold (UIM) out of the way, Remove the bolt holding the VDI actuator in place and swing it out of the way. It doesn't actually move that much, but its enough to get the fuel ail out.
Remove the hoses on the fuel rails with the blue and red lock rings. I put paper towels under the hoses to catch any gas that spilled out of the fuel rails. A lot came out.
After the hoses are out of the way, remove the two bolts holding the fuel rail in place.Wiggle the fuel rail out and pull the injectors out of the rail and Lower Intake Manifold (LIM). CAUTION: more gasoline may drain out of the fuel rail once the injectors are removed. There should be four yellow injectors attached to this rail (Only on the high power 6-port model). Disconnect the wires from the injectors. They can be kinda stuck so be persistent. Try gently wiggling the injector to break any built up grime keeping it in place. Once the injectors are free, take note and write down what wires went to these four injectors. Possibly mark them with colored tape to avoid confusion.
Time for the primary injectors. Tackle the two bolts holding the injector plate in place.
