OE injector replacements
Discussion
I have used the search, but can only find difference of opinion - and wondered if there was a definite answer on this...
I have just had my injectors tested (some Siemens make apparently - is this Lucas or a standard TVR part?) - and have been told that one injector requires replacing, and that the other 7 can be cleaned.
The garage is having problems sourcing a replacement injector - and I thought that in light of:
1. the cost of buying a new one, and getting the other 7 cleaned
2. AFAIK they have done 70,000 miles
...it might prove more cost effective to replace all 8 with new ones..?
I know that there is much talk about replacing the OE ones with Bosch items, I have seen many references to "red tops" - but there seems to be differences of opinion regarding this.
Also, recall hearing something about Vectra injectors - or is this mis-information...?
Car is a modified 450 (please see profile for details) - although inlet manifold is standard - and is being converted to Emerald management as we speak...
Would the Bosch items be the way forward - and if so, does anyone have a part number so I can get them ordered...
Many thanks in advance,
Dom

I have the Red Tops. I think they're rated at 30lb/hr so may be a bit big for your needs. I had mine flow tested recently and BHP predicted. They worked out to be 380BHP at 80% duty cycle and something over 400 at 90%.
I'm sure whoever is doin' your engine work would advise accordingly.
