Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: fuel injectors
Well... I had to ask. Now I recall all the
responses to Lucas products. Thought price was too low for any
quality.
It looks like I should go ahead and make new fuel rails
to accept the larger diameter stock Ford or Chevy injectors unless someone knows
of an injector that is closer to the Mazda 'non-standard' dimensions. I sure
don't want to mess with the primary manifold if at all possible without using
the expensive Mazda injectors.
Do I really need larger injectors 38# instead of the
32#,
? Some charts show I only need 27# ones. Mark has a set
of four 43# he is willing to sell.but don't know if they are too large for
a n.a. '87 13B.
Several seem to be using the Ford
injectors.
I would really like to know if there is a
particular brand that is better and for what reason(s) - spray pattern,
durability???. I see so many on the internet I'm completely confused.
Would it be a waste of money to have my injectors
cleaned? 2 have no flow, one flows all the time with a large stream, not a
spray; and the other one seems to work.
Thanks to those who are trying to help.
