You'd need to know what fitment of injector first.

But finding suitable ones to flow for the potential power is easy. There are literally dozens of pretty cheap new options available from the US.

what are your power and lb/hr requirements? Like Stevieturbo says try the US, summit or jegs ship to this green and damp land

because the US doesnt rip off people as much as we get ripped off here.

There are dozens of fitment types, but assuming your's uses the hotwire style inlet manifold, then it's just a basic Bosch fitment.
Either of these would do. The 42lb Bosch are very common and work well.

stevie thanks for that,when you order from us is there any import duty or any other hassles

[stevieturbo]

All imported goods will be subject to 3.5% import duty then 20% vat on the declared value of the goods including postage costs.

other than extra cost, it isnt any hassle.

There are occasions when theses charges get overlooked, but I'd say it is rarer these days

thank you for that,will order and see what happens,still can't get over price difference

Have a look at this-
http://www.gtsparkplugs.com/InjectorSizeCalc.html

this will tell you your requirements
yes you will get import duty and vat on stuff from the states unless you can befriend someone from USFPO!

[stevieturbo]

Or another vendor

These are listed at US$35 each.

Oddly if you select to buy as 8 they charge more lol

I'm using bosch 'green giant' 42lb injectors 0280155968.
Easy straight swap for the hotwire or gems engines (I think also the thor) They are the newer multi hole type injector which gives better fuel atomisation over a much greater range of fuel pressures then the pintle type. They will easly flow enough fuel for your requirements and the connectors are also compatible with the rover wiring harness.

I'm aiming for 400bhp supercharged and they will easily flow that.

Been with a friend today having his 5.7 litre Ford setup on rolling road which runs quad throttle bodies. He runs 30lb injectors and was showing 370 bhp with an max injector duty cycle of 70%
Not sure if that helps at all.

[kokkolanpoika]

My 5.2litre RV8 runs 315cc@ 3bar injectors and mede 381hp.. Fuel pressure is approx 3.8bar@full throttle and duty cycle 70% so Injectors flow approx 350cc? Made by Accel and bought from summitracing.. Set of 8 approx 300USD
