Re: Quick fuel injector question

I was hoping to get my injectors tested/cleaned before i slap them on my new motor. But the cheapest i could find was $26 bucks per injector. So my question, should i skip that step and hope they are fine? They came used on the intake manifold i bought and have no idea how well they work. Nate This...

yes tire size affects the speedometer
the height will, not the width.
205 is the width of the tire in mm
what's the other number. 55 ? (that number is the percentage of the width in thickness, that's the number you are looking for)

fmu can be different things but like said it's a Fuel Management Unit and most of the people refer it as a rrfpr (rising rate fuel pressure regulator) to bump the fuel pressure per psi.

I would run one on a tight budget under 10psi. I would NEVER use one above that though. Too much crucial to use it

as far as symptoms are, major performance loss and weird noise. Once it cracked I was still able to drive with it until I parked it where it didn't want to fire again. I dont think i have yet heard of anyone dropping a valve on the kl-01 cammed zes. Supposebly they are the exact same valve train? Im...

I know some dropped them while driving out their drive way too.

well like I said, what kind of power range are you shooting for ? crazy high end or torquy low end power?

50trim is a nice all around turbo but again depending on the a/r of the compressor and turbine
