Need to go with 160lb injectors for a turbo 347 inch LS1 build. Car will be a street car and need to have good street manners. Which is easier to tune at idle/cruise high or low impedance?
The 160lb high imp injectors are pricey at $155 each. I've been reading that they are easier to tune because of higher resolution, what ever that means.
Then I saw you can get a Versafueler, with 160's injectors for $860. That site swears low imp is easier to tune.
What do you guys run?

I have bosch 160's with a versafueler. The car started right up and idled with just changing the scale from 80's to 160's. My friend tuned it and didnt have any issues at all. They are rich on decel but as far as driving them around I plan on putting several thousand miles on my car this year if that means anything to you

If you want to use the versafueler we have a plug and play harness! Makes wiring it in a simple job that should take well under an hour ![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)

you are right but they were out of my budget lol. As far as decel the car doesn't act any different than it did with my 80's just a little less fuel economy..although if you have a setup that requires that big of an injector you really shouldnt be bitching about fuel economy haha

What kind of power are you looking to make with the build and ProCharger?
What kind of fuel will you be running?
160# is a lot of fuel...
8 of them @ 58psi base fuel pressure and pump/race gas would be enough fuel for 2000hp.
Running E85 would still fuel around 1500-1600hp.

It's such a con, dynamically matched and charge 800 more a set. Give me a break. The guys on honda forums asked them to show on video how they do it. All the posts got pulled down. Keep drinking the cool aid and getting ripped because Tony sais they are magic. And Tony the tiger says there GREAT..

Why would a reputable company that provides ACTUAL data for/from their products put up a video showing how they got it?
I'm sure Lockheed provides production videos from the F-35.

The part that really turns me away from companies like FIC (I'm not sure which one is which actually, there's two right?) is when they send their customers to ID's website to use their data. (I've seen it more than once now)
That's like Microsoft sending their customers to the Apple website for drivers. No thanks.

LOL!! This is you again, right? From RX7club.com??
Have a read for yourself. If you still think they are all hype after being presented with the data, then you sir, are just...dumb.

No one is saying the "stock" bosch injectors aren't fine for a stock or slightly modified car. The argument is that the Injector Dynamics injectors are "just more expensive" than the exact same injectors sold elsewhere. Injector Dynamics' injectors are dynamically matched, not statically matched. This makes them both better and more expensive than the "same" injectors sold by other vendors. In an effort to boost their sales, these scumbags have been claiming "their" injectors are the "same, just cheaper" than the ID injectors. This is just plain false, and borderline illegal, in my opinion.
Having a 10 second RX7 and a car running over 190mph, you of all people should see the value of perfectly matched injectors. It's great that the brand "X" injectors flow "X" amount at 80% duty cycle, but what about idle? What about the rest of the entire RPM band? The funniest thing ever was when FIC (don't know which one) was answering a customer of theirs; The customer asked them where to get the data for the injectors they bought (because their "data sheets" don't give you the information you need to tune) and this shitbag actually had the ***** (or is just a ******* moron), to direct his customer to the Injector Dynamics website!! "just use their data" he says." LOL![Rolleyes](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/rolleyes.gif)
Now, tell me, as a customer, how can you trust and rely on a company which makes false claims about their products and then directs you to a competitor's website to find the data on the injectors they just sold you? You gotta be kidding me.

Just bought my 1000'sfor the ls1 today from FIC, great price, great service. I got 5 files to upload to EFI Live, this tune was sent to Cory Henderson at Henderson performance.. The injectors will be there in a few Hopefully one of these days we can get this thing on the road again. Looks to me by these posts that there is a Lot of cool-aid drinking at ID
LOL!! Now I remember. This is the same exact statement you made here. It seems you still cannot read or understand data. sigh. You can lead an idiot to the information, but you can't him believe or understand it.
