Do they have any more left?They are so hard to get a hold off, am quite amazed you found some in Australia Thanks again for all the info Hey IM2QIK, I had sourced the injectors myself through friends at a better price than I payed, the only problem, was it was going to be about a 2 month wait. I couldn't hadle another wait. Amberley was able to get them for me ( I think that Amberley get them from Germany). When I booked the car in Ian had just taken delivery of 12 of the injectors which I had in my hand briefly. I have 6 of these 12 in my car I'm noy sure about the other 6.If you give Ian a ring at Amberley I'm sure he will tell you there availablity.Geea.

It cost $398 so it could be similar.I do know that it replaced the existing fuel pump, that would be in the tank I think. I know it replaced it cause I got the old one in the garage. Geea.

ktford FORD FORD FORD Donating Members 9,390 Member For: 21y 7m 20d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Point In Brissy's eastern side Posted 15/04/04 09:29 PM Share Posted 15/04/04 09:29 PM Thanks for all the nice comments guys.xr6ikness, I'm running 10psi at the moment.Ktford, if I go for the bigger intercooler I'm going to get the bigger valve springs then. I have been following your valve spring thread and was waiting till you finished your testing to find what you thought was the best option.The weather looks good for Friday night so hopefully I can get to Calder and get some 1/4 mile times for some real world comparisons.Geea. Geea,Xr8's have a spring that'll do the trick, retain your original caps n coletts. Around Trade $8.10 X 24. They will give you around 157psi with the valve open. Wack 'em in & screw her up to 13 pound, yeah baby. A member has ordered a set but there is a wait as he has only been supplied with 8 thus far.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
