If the work has been done correctly, they will perform identically to their new specification.
"Core" is the old units you are removing. The term appears frequently on realOEM, in the pricing columns.

As Baz says, pick up solid 2nd hand units and have them refurbished.

Guys,

Anyone car to comment on the worth of those FiveO upgraded design injectors (probably £200 shipped to the UK) over refurbing the original injectors (£90 ish with postage) as discussed above?

This is for a standard M30B35 with noisy injectors and a top end power issue that is probably not helped by 21 year old injectors.

Just wondering if people thought the extra £110 would be wise.

Martin.

if i had a spare £200 then i would get new ones also as my injectors are good and do the job well + even better once there cleaned i`m happy to keep with my Oem ones.

so a saving of a £110 would be wise, could spend it on other stuff.

The new design injectors have proven popular with quite a few guys in Australia. Are they worth it? Probably. That being said, however, standard OEM units that have been given a going over will serve you perfectly well. Old injectors can be very bloody noisy and can take the edge off performance and economy. Whichever way you go it'll be a win. Still, the refurbed OEMs will be fine, I reckon. You essentially end up with new injectors and unless you're hunting for every last possible percentage of horsepower and seeking to really maximize efficiency, the savings on refurbed units probably outweigh the benefits of outlaying the extra cash.

Agreed.
The people who should be buying new are those who are doing everything else to make their car run perfectly like full engine/head rebuilds etc.
For most people, refurbing the existing injectors is more than good enough.

As long as it's E30 only injectors, Injector tune are willing to do them for £10 per injector if there is enough interest.

If this means you can sort some kind of group/bulk discount then add my name to the list matey. I was going to get them done next year, but (goes into Scrooge mode) if I can save a few quid I'll do it sooner.

I'm just in the process of building up a 2.8 m20, bought a cheap set of 535 injectors and just thought I'd get them cleaned for good measure. They look cleaner than before and the service was pretty quick, but I can't give a before/after comparison.

If this is indeed going to turn into a group buy, might I suggest that you (rix or barry - whoever is running it) starts a new thread in the GB section as per the forum rules?

Did they not include a before/after report?

Were new service parts fitted?

At £5 per injector, the guy can't be making enough to make it worthwhile if he's replacing filters/sealing rings etc as well as cleaning them.
As for them looking cleaner than before, you should bear in mind that the particles involved are invisible to the naked eye, so something that looks clean might very well still be partially blocked up.
