TVR Chimaera

Hi, I’m a TVR Chimaera owner (sorry) was reading an interesting post(for me) on the Chimaera section about changing injectors to Vectra or even better Bosch but have lost the post !! Is there a way to search and refind this post ??? Thanks, Gav.

THIS one?

or this?

or this?

I would type " pistonheads tvr chimaera vectra injectors" into Google or whatever search engine you use.

I think ph has its own search function but not brilliant?

Might be worth leaving out Chimaera, that should then bring up any relevant threads on Griffith forum

Thanks for your reply I’ll give it a go 👍

As said the PH search isn't the best but it's all searchable on google. A slight addition to the above tip is if you google "chimaera injectors Site: pistonheads.com" or whatever search you want the site:******.com limits the search to that website it's a very handy way to home in on the info you want.

edit: added space between Site: and Pistonheads so it didn't display as

Injectors - vectra ones better, Bosch 4 port even better

Here are the details:

Application: Vauxhall Opel Omega & Vectra 2.6i & 3.2i V6 2000-03. Cadillac CTS 3.2 2002-04

Vauxhall part no: 93170386

Bosch OEM part no: 0 280 156 045

Flow: 208.9cc @ 3.0 bar

Impedance: High (14.5 Ohm)

You can buy the Bosch 0 280 156 045 injectors from Autodoc for a good price, but their stock level was low last time I looked

Are these standard replacement or are they deemed an 'upgrade'?

[gavgavgav]

I fitted the bosh ones above 6 months ago, just to confirm that they are a direct replacement/ fit with no mods.

@gavgavgav

Did you perceive any improvement after fitting the Bosch injectors?

[gavgavgav]

Yes, but it is not really a useful comparison for you. The whole fuel rail for me was full of gunge, varnish and lumpy bits as there was a restriction in the return pipe, and pressure was at 90 psi, rather than 30 odd psi it was supposed to be. I could see the injectors will dirty so replaced with a new set instead of getting them cleaned, as its only £100 more for modern injectors than cleaning. All that cleaned, and new injectors is much better.

Interesting, I'd never heard of this mod.

Pulling my Chim out of long term storage this spring so this might be a much needed option for me.
