Engine management / m52 pink injectors

« on: May 05, 2014, 03:26:00 AM »

So I decided to paint my manifold to match the rocker cover the other day while it was all of I got rid of the throttle body heater plate an all its piping, an the breather pipes as most were split an tapered up by the previous owner of the engine I got 13mm fuel hose acting as breather pipes looks alot tidyer under the manifold

As I reassembled I though I'll change the injectors I've herd bout the 4 hole mustang etc but I had some m52 2.8 pink injectors that are also 4 hole kicking round so I've put them in now I've searched an searched on the bosch site standard injectors. Are rated at

18.25 lbs or 191.8 cc

The m52 ones are rated at

23.8lbs or 231.6 cc

The car idles alot beter an drives stronger too but I'm not sure if it's just an placebo effect cause obviously the breather. Pipes were shot
