Bad fuel injector problem
Hi.
I did a full 60k tune up to my '91 Turbo II and I also had the injectors cleaned.
The shop told me that the injectors are bad.
They don't flow as they should at low and high rpms. One of them has a fuel leak, and the injector coils are bad too.
The only choise is to change them with new ones.
I checked with Mazdatix's prices and they are the following.
INJECTOR NEW 89-92 TURB (PRI/SEC) 13-2500-N370 $251.31
I suppose the price is for one injector only.
I don’t intend to keep the car stock so this is no option for me.
I did a search to see what other options I have and I found out that I can install 2x 720cc in place of the secondary injectors with the stock ecu having no problem managing them.
What aftermarket injectors can I buy? Where from and at what price?
Buying used stock injectors is a big gamble. It’s good for me moneywise, but I would like to buy new ones.
Thanks

For a set of 4, I'd email the guy and ask if you can get 2.

Well, your getting ahead of yourself. You gotta look at what Marren flows thier injectors for, PSI wise. That affects your actual CC rating. I would think that they use the same rating system as the Mazda ones use, but I could be wroing.
I am also finding it VERY hard to believe that all of your injectors were bad. I mean.. EVERY SINGLE ONE? Were they cleaned and flowed?

So would i. I had mine tested after my j-spec ate a seal and the secondaries were spraying 30% less than the primaries and the place i took them to said he'd get them to spec no problem.

I showed the results to the only person i trust and he told me that new ones are the best way to go since i am going to do modifications.
RX7.com sells 550cc and 720cc for 122$ a piece.
I don't want to play with the injectors since they are such a critical part of the car.

Why dont you contact RC and get thier opinion. They clean and sell injectors so you shouldn't be concerned about them being biased. http://www.rceng.com/

Try and get a hold of hIGGI.
I think he has at least a pair of 550's that should be good.
If not, they do come up for sale regularly (check the for sale section in here?) for a better price than what Mazda wants for new ones.

From your experience do you suggest they will work alright (720cc) with the stock ecu?
J-Rat said that he had no problems.
I am going to simply put out the old ones and install the new ones? Or is it more that that?

Bigger injectors will not work with the stock ECU...you will be dumping around 30% more fuel into the engine. Yeah...it may run, but you will be running rich which will kill power and build carbon...unless you turn up the boost to compensate. I would rather just get an S-AFC and tune it on a wideband.

I have always relied on fuel computers to smooth out the transition.
You might not notice the slight bog on the transition, but I find it annoying...even with 680's.
Even with the mods you're planned to do, the stock ECU already runs very rich in the midrange, right where the transition is. With the airflow meter still working, the increased engine efficiency doesn't fool the stock ECU into being able to use the larger fuel injectors properly.
