Hi all iv been looking at the parts list
And can not find injectors
I have a v8 and need 8 of them but don't fancy paying the prices that power and st8six want
I expect there are lots of other bits I need
Does any one know wear I can get them from
Many thanks jim

What bits are you after? Have a set of 4.2 injectors going spare, also have a few bits and pieces left over from the rebuild and upgrades I've done over the years. Lets have a full list of what you need and I'm sure the guys on the forum can help you. How bad is it? Followed your previous and now removed thread.

I missed the end of that thread Jim but I take it you have your car back now? I don't have any injectors going spare though...

I was speaking to Dom at tvr power the other day and he has secondhand injectors from engines that have had upgrades, i think they're even on his store website? .. worth a call? and any other bits you require?

Apologies if I am wrong on this front...but dont you need better injectors for a 4.8?
I recall (maybe I dreamt it) that Graham's 4.8 required some with a higher flow...?

You can safely run 4.5 injectors to over 450bhp. the highest I've run them to is 477bhp. Flow on the 4.2 injector is all over by about 400bhp.
