[quote name='RAP1D' post='745377' date='Oct 6 2008, 01:12 PM']I'll have a price up tomorow.

I only sell flow matched sets of 6, which are matched to 1% of each other, rather than the typical 5% flow from the Ebay sellers.
These give better tunabillity, which helps with idle quality and ecconemy.[/quote]

A good price on these would be awesome!!!
Im stock piling parts at the moment ready for future mods
Waiting for Rapid to do a sale on high flow coolers too

Mate, RAP1D is already in the process of getting a price for a group buy of injectors.

Any updates on this Chris?

Well, I buy them from the states, and with the dollar as it is, they have gone up $55 au a set of 6.

I was hoping to do them for a decent amount under $400, but its not going to happen.

$400 is the price. My retail on my website is $475.

Please note that these are flow matched to within 1% of each other, in a group of 6.
Most sellers sell them at the factory 5%, as they buy them by the piece, not the set.

I'd rather sell them matched, at a slightly higher price, than send them out unmatched, with the chance of tuning issues once installed.

I'll happily pay an extra 20 or 30 bucks for a more accurately flow matched set. Mainly because it seems like a small price to pay for the possibility of avoiding issues later.

Cheapest I've seen a new +-5% set for is $370 and your price for these ones is saving us $75 off retail.

Seems like a no-brainer. If it gets up and you start a thread, put me down for a set mate.

I'm just throwing this out to see if there is interest. How about torque converters for the 4 speed? In the process of finding a converter for my built BTR, I've found someone who is helping me get the stall correct for my converter. He has fitted many to N/A's but not to a Barra Turbo as yet. So after a conversation today, he is willing to use my car as a test mule to get the desired 2800rpm stall at his cost and my time and inconvenience! I only have one car ATM.

The first one was way off the mark at 3700rpm. I have a second converter being modified as we speak and I should have it fitted next week. If it's not right, we will try again until we get the desired 2800 rpm. With my car making a typical power level for our cars (350 rwkw), the stall should not deviate too much if you have a little less or little more power or slightly different tune characteristics.

I know people are paying between $800 and $1200 depending on where you get them from. I'm not sure on the price yet but it will definitely be well under $800. Probably less than $600 I'd say, but don't quote me on that yet as I'm not sure what he has to do to get these to work for our turbo application.

These are the mods done to the standard converter:

- The turbine is bronzed
- Outer stator race keyed to stator
- Lock-up up seal is replaced with a high temp Viton seal
- Needle bearing changed with a better bearing (not sure of type)
- Plastic thrust washer changed for a bronze washer
- Lock-up is retained
- 12 month warranty
