You are positive that those are plug and play? I want to cover my basis before spending $100 on new injectors that wouldn't fit. I have been reading on this thread that the Bosch 0280155700 was plug and play then recently, within the last month, that they wont fit the clips and handle the pressure.

So what you are saying is Bosch 0280150556 is the way to go, if so thanks for the heads up.

yes those are the correct injectors,you can ask the people on rev-limited website.

I too was about to get Bosch 0280155700 but I ended up doing some major research and found out Bosch 0280150556 is the correct injectors to use.

The injectors I bought are recondition for 25 each,you can get new injectors but is 30 each from that same website posted earlier.

Thanks bro, I'll take your word for it. Cannot wait to get rid of my old ticking ones. Also looking forward to seeing if their is any difference in feel. I have read that the mileage may improve slightly but that it idles more smoothly. Worth $100 IMO.

wanted to report back on this.

i went ahead and purchased the injectors from the link that stillmatick posted.

http://www.fuelinjector.citymaker.com/catalog/item/4494564/4532416.htm

Direct drop in. I am running them right now and they are working flawlessly. No idle problems, and a smooth increase in torque has been noticed. Idle is smoothed out as well.

I also did a coil on plug conversion in the same as well.

so confirming that BOSCH 0280150556 Multi-Port Injector
is a direct perfect fit.

it is the one shown in the picture above in post #254 with the blue nozzle looking tip.

hope this helps those of you, who were like me, wondering which one of the million numbers to chose from.

Idle will improve, and i will report back on mileage gains. As for the injectors not ticking haha.....umm these things tick way louder than my old stock ones do. But it does not bother me.

Sounds good man looking forward to hearing more from you. As far as a tick goes.. I have a BAD injector, needs some cleaning most likely so it is LOUD, haha.

Was just at the pick-n-pull and I passed on a full rail from a late-90s VR6 VW. They're fat 150 4-hole injectors, but I thought those were the shorter ones & don't fit our rails. The 155 long-body injectors are what I was looking for.

I have to head back (There's a trailer hitch I have my eye on, and a new e46 just hit the yard

, I'll report on my findings.

I'm really not understanding this whole thread:confused: Everyone is talking about putting in the "same" flow injectors and all of a sudden the torque, idle and ...... changes for the better? Maybe someone could elaborate?

Has anyone just thought that maybe the "new" inj's are just cleaner and flow like they are supposed to where as your "old" inj's are just not flowing up to par? How about putting in fresh stock inj's and see if you get the same reaction?

Who says that 4 pintle is better in the car than the stock? Did someone do a test as to the flow characteristics into the opening in the head where the manifold attaches and knows for a fact the the 4 pintle doesn't spray fuel all over the sides of the intake port vs getting into the cylinder? Atomization is one thing but so is angle:D Just food for thought.....

I had a stock set cleaned and they flowed 204cc's. I still have them packaged and unused. They say 556's are 210cc's... So my point is again.....If one puts in a "CLEAN" set of stock inj's what's to say that the car wont' run fantastically better with MPG, and seat of the pants dyno?

204/10.5= 19.4lb inj's

Cheers,

+1, maintenance is crucial to proper running. Fresh injectors would have to be measurably better than the originals in my car.

Given new o-rings and maybe a little hose deletion...how could the car NOT run better?

Last year i had witchhunter do the cleaning /rebuild and flow tested them to 2% of each other and my recent upgrade to the mustang injector was a better and more noticeable increase. nothing on paper, but it is smoother and especially idle. Torque seems very constant now, but that is all butt dyno :-)

not much on flow design but if you look at the stock setup, it seems that the automized fuel could re-group together before even leaving the long nozzel of the injector. the pintle is deep withing the nozzel. On the mustang injector the pintels are right at the end.

In the same time i wondered the same thing as you. the new injector will stick into the head farther than the stock one, as seen in the pictures of length.

i have a 1993 e36 m42 and my old injectors were stock 4 pintles. I did not know that until after i swapped them in and looked closely.

was it worth it? i am not 100% sure. But i will test the claim on MPG's going up on this next tank of fuel. If no power increase, a better automized and better burning fuel consumption should lead to less fuel consumption in the end. and thats worth it to me.

I will report back on mpgs

here are the pictures to compare that i didn't get around to posting, from the install.

early e30 m42 didn't come with 4pintle injectors but the 36 did. still mustang injector is better.
