Suggestions for Replacement Injectors
I would appreciate any suggestions for injectors for a 1991 Corvette. I have looked at the web site for FiveO Motor Parts and they show: (1) a Yellow Top injector made by Bosch for Ford Mustang, (2) XF2E Design III injector by Bosch, (3) an LS1 injector by Bosch, and (4) a blue top injector by Bosch. Any of these suitable? How about FiveO parts for being a reputable vendor? Any and all suggestions would be helpful.
Sincerely,
Barry C Jolly

Hey Barry,
I have bought injectors from them before on the advice from others and the injectors I received were great. Fast shipping as well. I just went to their site on Ebay and went from there. You may want to get the injector clips as well since some are bound to break.

I bought a set from here, re-conditioned and would buy from them again. There were for my 91. Good Luck!

Barry: Good move on making this thread. I am sure you will get other suggestions or tips on what to buy. Recommed you stay with the 22 lb/hr flow rate injectors for your car.

fiveomotorsports sells used crap injectors. They claim they are new or reconditioned. Many forum members have been ripped off by that jerk. One member had to send back 3 sets because they were crap. You have tp pay the shipping plus 20% restocking fee for every return. Do a search on fiveomotorsports.

BADDUCK has a set of Standard Motor Products for sale in the ForSale forum. They are 22lb. (These are sold by NAPA/Summit).
ACCEL also makes a 21 and a 23lb injector that would also work. Also available from Summit.
If you buy used/reconditioned, they do not replace the electrical actuator (coil) that releases gasoline. But they are cleaned and measured. To me, a used one is prone to failure sooner since it's been in service longer. As I'm in the middle of the replacement project, you don't want to do it more than once!
Avoid 24 lb (or higher) injectors because they are likely to make your car run richer. And, you don't need that size unless you do several HP upgrades. Even 21 lb injectors are good to 300 HP! And, if you look at Vader's website, you'll see a fully modded L98 (heads/cam) pulling good times with original 22lb injectors. You don't need to go bigger.
The ECM will compensate -- by shortening/lengthening the pulse duration for bigger/smaller injectors. IMO, you'd want the same or smaller. I would think they'd atomize fuel better (than a shortened pulse larger injector).

You can buy injectors in 1000 different places. Jon at FIC provides top shelf support, even for people who purchased injectors from someone else.
You can reach him on the phone nights and weekends. He takes care of forum guys.
