I have been struggling with an drive ability issue for a period of time with my L.S. powered GTR. My engine builder and I have chased this and nothing made sense, in the end it was complicated by the fact that there was more then one problem. Several efforts ago I bought an installed a new set of Bosch injectors acquired from a reputable company. The cost packaging and appearance of these injectors led us to believe that the injectors where genuine Bosch. With the new headers installed and the last round of tuning efforts we thought we had it. That would be a great big NO. We then decided to send the injectors out for calibration to R.C. Engineering in Long Beach Cal. the word back was the injectors where made in China crap. the problem was not constant and it only effected very small flow rates. Moderate to full flow was not effected. You can see how this would be very hard to track down. New injectors problem solved. MY POINT: I wasn't looking for a bargain when I bought these. Buying from a good company is a start making sure that your injectors are bench tested might be very cheap insurance in the long run. Lee
Yes I am having a very pointed discussion with the supplier.
