Injectors

[1996ek1]

If i was planning on turboing my car, is all i need these 550cc injectors (they are suitable for my application)

http://www.rceng.com/Saturated-Injector-SL4-0550H-Honda-style-top-P60C6.aspx

I'll assume thats the price for 1 injector. Which would equal $450 total (seeing thats US). Its just that i always see people saying i payed $650 for my 550cc injectors, or huge prices like that, same brand.


I'm not planning on to turbo my car anytime soon, it would be in the distant future, but just working things out now, because i plan on a custom kit.

If its for a stock motor 550 is more then enough, even 440cc will work.

I was asking for the future, when i do plan on going turbo.

For now im stick with the stock injectors, saving for my engine conversion :p

Im just telling you, if you're going to just bolt on a turbo kit onto the stock motor in the future, 440 is more then enough.

So whats the question?

So whats the question?

Question was mainly,

People always write stuff like like "$600 - $650 (different posts vary) for 550cc injectors" in their turbo pricing list, when the site says $98 USD roughly per injector, which would make x4 550 cc injectors cost around $450 AUS.

Is their something extra making them cost $650, compared to that $450, or are people just buying them from the wrong place?

Who cares? Find the brand you want, the size you want and get it a the cheapest price. ;)

See Jdm-yard (trader) he has good prices. :thumbsup:

In short though. You need saturated injectors and its generally a simple swap. Some injectors (depending on the brand) the body or the rubbers they sit in need modifications to fit. Also 'some' injectors come with the older plugs in which you'll need to cut off the old ones and solder on the new ones.

So yeh, pretty much just install and your done, but as said some may come with older style clips.

Hope that helps.

$450 is how much i bought my RC 550cc injectors from the states (brand new)... don't buy from Australian retailers... its a rip off, unless you hate waiting on shipping.

I have no problems with waiting to save that kind of money. But i also hear the traders here have good prices + probably have faster postage seeing we all aus.

When the time comes ill prob look through the traders here.
Thanks for your help on this guys:thumbsup:

What quality are the tuner toys 550CC?

Are they there own brand?

This goes for all fuel system components. Don't buy on price, buy on quality and suitability for your purpose. Cheap parts may lead to an expensive rebuild.

I'm not saying any of the above injectors are cheap and nasty because I haven't seen anything on them myself. Its just a general statement to keep in mind. Its the one area that you really do want to make sure you get right.

[dudeling7]

friend of mine has used tuertoys, and quite few ppl in the USA use them. Jump on hondatech and do a bit of research it really does help. But if you were afraid of quality but want cheaper option (known brand) then RC i would go for some precision injectors.
