Those are exactly the inj's you DON'T want to get!! Those are the 155 body type that had the leakage issue.  You want the 150 style I posted earlier. 0 280 150 947 they should flow about 260cc where the 715's flow 256cc.


Taking Ralph's advice and not wanting to use old-style injectors, I ended up ordering some of the new Design 4 injectors. The guy who sells these carries a strong rep with the LS1 crowd and said that 24lb/hr should be plenty for 200hp. The injectors are 60mm from o-ring to o-ring and should be a direct swap. These are supposed to not have the leaking problem that the Design 3s do. They were $160 shipped with the EV1 adpaters to make these plug and play with the stock harness :)

Yes drool, I sat in my room inspecting them for about an hour, lol; very nice quality on everything. I honestly had a hard time deciding to bite the bullet on these considering S50B30 ITBs can be had with plenum for half the price, but I'm glad I got these instead. I honestly don't have the time to retrofit the S50s and these are truly plug n play.

With the current exchange rate and uncle sam's VAT free form, I walked out with these for $1550 US :)

I would love to, but I would hate to run your engine too lean and possibly do damage (i think it was deekay who said his was running lean on 21lb/hr injectors); not to mention the sadness of having to take them back out and ruin your fun :)

I highly recommend you contact the guy in the link I posted, he does great work and his customer service is out of this world. I know it's just a catch can, but i like knowing that my build is unique so that totally makes it worth a little extra scratch. If you do decide to get one from him, do it soon so he can send it to my APO for cheaper shipping and you can pick it up from me; I'm only here until the end of March :)

Some lite reading before I start to pretend that I actually know what I'm doing :)

Thanks! When the key turns and the engine starts w/o puking anything out I'll gladly accept that compliment. This is the best erector set EVER!!!
