Interested as well in these... The price is good, but if they are going to have problems- might as well and spend the extra for the Siemens...

i havent heard much good while reading volvo forums, wich are some of the only reviews.

all i know is siemens deka high imp 80lb injectors are 330-399 shipped and they are amazing, and have excellent resolution and i havent had a single problem with them after buying 12 sets. ***** are great on megasquirt or stock ecu and the ysell them in ev6 and ev1 connector.

i do alot of things on the cheap but even i cringe at buying cheap injectors or used ones.

A guy had a sign at the track on his trailer that these blew his engine the 160 lb failed while spraying. Found out they are Chinese counterfeits of Bosch. They would not pay a bit and he said their muck, so stay away and deal with reputable injectors

Thought I would share my experience with smartfire injectors. I am on my second set of 160lbs injectors. The first set had 3 bad injectors that would not fire at all. Called them and they sent me a second set free of charge and was quick. Installed second set. I dont know if they were some sticking open? But tried to tune these and could not get them from over fueling. Had e85 running out the down pipe. Became very angry at my waisted time and money and called Jon at FIC and he is sending me what I need. Should have called Jon in the first place. Would have saved me a lot of time and money. Trying to get me money back for the smartfire injectors. We will see how that goes? Hope this helps save others from making the same mistake I did.
