The nozzles are the injectors.  It is a constant pressure system.  The injectors are glorified water pistols.

OK, shoot me for not knowing every mechanical detail, but silly me, I thought that the nozzles were part of a 2-piece system, the other half being the injectors..
So, on my K-jet, no need but anything but those cheap nozzles?
Would mean I have 2 surplus D-Jet injectors in stock.. Guess those are the costly ones?

Yes D Jet ones are pricey.  D Jet has it's fans  but overall the k jet system is much simpler to work on and more reliable.  Plus the system was installed into millions of cars over multilple brands thus components are cheap and readily available.

These are the injectors I bought...

I also replaced the injector seals and the plastic injector holders. 

The hardest part about the job was waiting for the parts to come in the mail.
