1. Would the KCA30S44 inj out of a 603 turbo??? work in my 617 turbo??
The resason I'm asking is bc I can get new injectors for cheap...
2.If they would not work what kind of nozzles should I buy for my 617 turbo??? and where???
3. What size socket do I need to buy from the local Autozone to remove the injectors????

Thank you in advance.

1. I don't know. This site shows different part numbers, but they look similar.

2. Folks keep talking about Bosio nozzles. I hear they are good.

3. I would suggest that you avoid buying sockets (or most anything else) from autozone. If you must, I don't know the socket size off the top of my head, but if you drive your car there and take a crescent wrench with you, you can use it kind of like a micrometer. You can take it inside and compare to socket sizes. If I had woken up a little earlier this Saturday I could have had a more definite answer for this one

#1 I don't think so
#2 DN0 SD 265 nozzles from C Sean Watts on this forum
#3 1 1/16th 1/2 inch drive deep socket fits fine, must be 1/2 drive to get it deep enough

I bought a 1-1/16th and 1/2 inch drive, but it doesn't seem to be deep enough?? I don't have a injector to actualy test it since my car is in garage right now. Would it clear the return pipes on the inj??? I don't wanna drive 40 miles to my garage to find out that I got the wrong socket on a sunday.

-last week. My socket was an older Craftsman. It cleared the return line pipes and filled the socket pretty full. I had a moment looking at it thinking 'now I screwed up my return lines and this socket is not going to go on far enough, but it dropped right on. I don't know if all 1 &1/16th Deep sockets will fit though. ( no way a 3/8s drive is deep enough though!)

Ohh...according to diesel giant article the 1 and 1/16th deep socket should work fine!!! 2 people can't be wrong, I'm just making sure...
I dropped the idea of buying 602 inj bc I already have 2 sets of 617T in need of a rebuilt.
I'm thinking of buying 5 nozzles from the FastLane store, the O.E.M Bosch replacement, however I hear lots of negative stuff abt these nozzles that are made in diff countries and diff. quality????
Everybody seems to sweet talk the Bosio nozzles, but I would always trust Bosch before any other...

A 1-1/16" socket will work but its never good practice to use American sizes on Metric parts and vice versa. They may be close but still not the right fit.

Concerning the nozzles I would PM C Sean Watts first. If you buy Bosch nozzles on the internet you will not know what country they are made it. I would besure that they were made in Germany or France if I was going to buy Bosch. Bosio nozzles have a good rep but are around $37 dollars each when I looked 6 months ago (you have to register on their site to view the prices).
