Default VR Racing injectors?

Anybody ever use these? There cheep enough but I don't know if there worth a **** or not. The Chinese turbos seem to be holding up so maybe these will.

Never in my life would I consider even for a second on buying China knock off injectors.. That's a disaster waiting to Happen. Just buy some racetronix injectors they are fairly priced.

New 160lb hi-z bosch injectors are about $70 each. Best deal out there for a big injector IMO.

I've already got injectors and don't need anymore. I was just asking if anybody had used them. I'd never seen them before.

Is it a proper liquid injector, or CNG type like the 2000's ?

edit, looks looks like the old gas injectors that most discontinued.

I believe the 0280158827 has only been out a year or so. I've spoken with a couple people who have run them with great success in the 4 cyl world. Great idle at lowish PW. Nothing like the low-z CNG injectors of old.

I'll admit it scares me a bit they they are coming from Estonia...

Five O list them as discontinued.

There were CNG injectors years ago around the 1600cc mark that almost every seller stopped selling. Apparently they became erratic if they got too hot and could fail, or just not work properly. Dont recall what part numbers they were though.

Five O sell most stuff....so if they dont have them that cant be a good sign ( and presumably totally unrelated to the Five O poster here lol )

Injectors are a vital part of the engine....I personally wouldnt take the risk unless they had been very well tried and tested

What would these be good for on a Procharged setup running 93 pump?

Depends on the size of the Procharger.

But there'd be enough injector for around 1600hp quite safely.

I should have said best deal out there for a "big" injector. Think I paid $650 for a matched set of Racetronix low-z 160's. Then had to buy an injector driver.

Deka 80lb injectors are proven to work well and will have better idle quality for most pump gas setups 1000chp and under IMO.

If the Bosch 160's are basically the same price as 80's, I don't see any downside to getting them given their potential if/when you turn things up.

The Holley's are low impedance, don't know too many people even running them.
