So no doubt it's a CSI not a CS? I'm not second-guessing you... I just want to be sure before I spend moonbeams on it
D-jetronic injection unit for 3.0 CSI
- Thread starter Frankie
- Start date
Well- give us a flash pic in focus of that area and a pic of the passenger inner fender!

I'd love to but that's the best pic I have and we're locked down here and I can't get to the car for probably another 6 weeks or so...
Also, it's RHD - so will that change the location of the 'passenger fender'?
I have 4 LHD csi’s in the shop- no RHD…
Think you will have to beg an Aussie for some help!

Ok, do any of these help?

Note the placement of the brake reservoir…
Well only because I like @sfdon and Kiwi's are kind of like Tasmanian's but sound more strange..
Here is the engine bay of my CSL (RHD) as I found it. You can just see the air box mount sticking out from the inner fender in the middle bottom of the pic.
Here's another shocker of the CSL - sorry it's out of focus. You can see the EFI harness coming out of the chassis rail. If your was was a CS you don't have the middle slot. You can also see the airbox bracket.
This is a better shot of the slot and bracket.

if your car is matching number and confirmed as a csi , it's definitely worth the spend to reinstall a D-Jet system , particularly as genuine rhd csi's are thin on the ground and very desirable ( at least here in OZ )
That pic above is your map. Just so it's crystal clear, what you are looking for is the hole in the frame rail where the injection harness runs into towards the ecu, below the rear passenger seat(LHD). I've circled what you are looking for...

Bill ànd others--is the FJ 118 injector a proven and suitable replacement for original D-Jet injectors? I have a '72 CSI and I was looking to purchase the SMP injectors referenced above but wanted to check first before taking the plunge. Thanks.

I would opt for a 123 Ignition csi distributor if you go down that path...depends how "original" you want to be I guess.
To benefit my ignorance, could you please elaborate the reasoning for this? Thanks.

I have a complete fuel injection sitting on an original 79 euro 635 Csi if this helps. Sitting is the key word.

The FJ118's work great .....make sure you replace all the rubber injector seals too as they are probably degraded.

...it's electronic ignition and a recognised "go to" upgrade ( smoother idle etc .Use the Forum Search function as there's a lot of info on the 123 generally. The one you need is SPECIFIC to EFI : BMW-6-R-V-IE

you will probably need to change/upgrade your ignition coil too ....I used a Pertronix Flamethrower but can't recall part number ....others here may have suggestions .
