They used to trade under Venom, do a google search on them.

Dont buy them, they are ****. Their injectors have caused alsorts of problems and blown engines as they fail alot.

IIRC, they're junk. Search, there was a thread about them a few years back, possibly in the single turbo section.

if you are looking to run 1600cc injectors, you can gra up a set of Rx-8 injectors & remove the restrictor plate at the tip of the injector (grind the crimped edge off with a very fine file or grinding wheel/ bench grinder)

then it will be a Bosch 1600cc

I wouldn't use that rx8 injector setup. It seems that the amount of flow is determined by how hard you hit it so getting matched sets that flow the same would be a problem.

Step 3. Hit it With a Hammer. - Using a punch and your favorite hammer, give the valve tip a whack to move it in its press fit into the armature. Dont be a Nancy Boy...HIT IT!



And there you have it, a 2000+cc injector!

Is it really that easy? Just 3 steps? Well...If you didn't hit it hard enough you may only have a 1500cc injector, and if you hit it too hard and bent the valve you have a leaky non functioning injector.

They are still selling these things? It doesn't matter if you got them for free or if you paid for them. The only place they belong is in the trash!

I think I'll just stick with the injectors that don't require smashing..... I only smash parts when the damn things won't fit
