Does anyone have the tech specs for the Bosch and Lucas injectors used in the m30b35? I have a set of each, and would rather use the Lucas ones as they are already fitted to the inlet i'd prefer to use, but if the Bosch ones are better I might have to rethink.

Cheers,

Iirc the lucas ones (with the 3 spray ports) are fitted to the E34 and have a finer spray pattern than the older Bosch units. I'd use the Lucas personally.

Cheers,

Mmm! Based on past experience of all things with Lucas written on them, and all things with Bosch written on them, I'm not so sure!
