Fuel Injectors V6 Supercharged

[Russell Thompson]

Can anyone advise what the difference is between a $1100.00 set of injectors and a $99.00 set. Both seem to have the same performance criteria. Any advise will be good.

$99 set are junk and 99% of the time will cause running issues. Do a search and you should find plenty of hits about cheap injectors having poor spray, among the problems they have.
If you already have genuine injectors that are fit for purpose then having them reconditioned is the cheapest good option.

Is this thread a duplicate? OP if it is a duplicate JC is not like Gumtree or FB buy and sell where you put "not a Ford" in the heading when you're trying to flog a Holden, so you get more hits.....

The poor man pays twice.

Talk about extremes. A set of Bosch 36lb should be sub 400 and do you well for years to come

I purchased a set for $88, guaranteed to work,
and they are a piece of Crap !
Car is VERY difficult to start when cold, even a few times hot.
Otherwise they seen to work ok, the Accelerator is VERY responsive, but a PITA first start of the day.
The Resistance of them all is approx. 15ohms.
What pissed me off, is they are exactly the same part number, and recommended for L67's.

I am about to purchase a service kit for the original ones I removed, and put that in each of them,
and put the original one back in.

Anyway, lesson learnt.

You'll have fun changing the buckets.

Really !
Why do you think it will be Fun ?
And what's is so hard about it ?
You don't think I am capable of doing it a second time round.?

This will be the second kit I have put through the OEM Injectors.
I am only going to put the service Kit in them while I have the OEM Injectors out
[while I have the Crap ones in keeping the car on the road]
Then refit the OEM injectors.

I have a set of used , can eBay how to home clean.

 

[krusing]

Probably not eBay,

You Tube may have a instruction on a how to do it,
[I have never looked to be honest]

If you need a Service Kit, there is a great guy here in Beaumaris that I have purchased off a few times before,
and serviced mine a fair few years ago now.
[approx. $12 with free postage Aus Wide]

Today I sent him an email to see if he has a set in stock at his home,
as I will go around and pick them up, so he doesn't get ripped off by eBay.
