Geea. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>What are "Eugene" injectors?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Eugene is a member of the forum. He has sourced an injector from the USA which is 1cc smaller than the 968's and about 1/3 of the price. Another forum member has sourced connecting leads for these injectors and combined they are possibly the best option for upsizing the injectors.Geea.

I doubt that the standard cooler would be any good on a 30deg+ day with the air con on etc. I beleive that heat soak would be a pretty big problem?Fair point with the WA weather, and humidity. IMHO, Qld cars should get the injectors and IC at the same time.I've had the edit since late December, and it's only now that I'm starting to get some sort of consistency in power delivery.The standard IC simply cannot handle the addition air in the warmer ambient temps.

Can ford service install one ??<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I bought a Davies Craig cooler for mine, it was $180 and comes with all the nuts and bolts, clamps and hoses. Although additional hoses may be needed. Any mechanic should be able to put it in, mine isnt in yet but will be getting placed horizontally under the intercooler, I will be moving the power steering cooler up near the top of the radiator and bypassing the pathetic stock effort of a trans cooler and running it through the after market job.Dazza.
