Are you changing for any particular reason? you can run to 340bhp (just) on the std injectors. If you have an engine making more than that then bow thumbup

Got mine from Mark Adams - mainly because the old Lucas jobbies wouldn't deliver enough fuel when I converted to a twin throttle plenum. Mark has two sorts of Bosch injectors the - good ones (INJ2010 which I have) and the "Rolls Royce" ones which I couldn't afford! There's a big difference between £48 and £70 (+VAT) when you're buying 8!

I recommend talking to Mark - he'll happily chat through all the pros and cons of changing to Bosch - or staying with Lucas as the case may be... He'll also have an answer regarding re-mapping. I suspect it will be that you don't have to, but you won't get the best results unless you do! I had no choice, as I changed the air-flow meter to a Bosch unit as well - you've guessed it - couldn't get enough air through the hole in the old Lucas one (have you seen how small that hole is??).

You can buy the exact same injectors for £200 (set of 8) from Five 'o' motorsport in the US (amongst many others).

Yeah I have talked to ma in the past about the injectors and seen both in action in the cleaners next to each other. Had seen the five 'o' ones at a lot cheaper price and was thinking of changing them but would need a RR session aswell so may wait until other things need doing and get them all done at the same time. Just bouncing things around atm really

When I spoke to MA about fitting my Pinkies, he said I wouldnt neccesarily need an RR session.
They dont flow any more fuel, but deliver it better.
As with all mods, of course ,RR session will maximise the change...

Why not go the whole way and fit sequential injection and mapped ignition as well...

The advantages are that they give a better spray pattern and they will take a higher fuel pressure (pintle type vs. disc type) IMO,
