Has anyone ever heard of ford injectors working on a vette?

 

yes i have 30lb Injectors from ford motor craft

 

Yep

 

There is no such thing as a ford injector.. Fords injectors are supplied by Bosch, Siemens or Denzo. Gm injectors are Supplied by Rochester products till 97 Then Bosch and Delphi, In Chrysler, BMW, Mercedes, Volvo etc all share the same injectors as Ford except their Logo goes on them. The redtop Bosch pn 0280150945 sold by Ford Racing has been used in many different vehicles. But, it is all Bosch Just clarifying

 

It should also be mentioned that injectors rated for Ford fuel rails will flow slightly more in GM fuel rails.

For example, 24SVOs should flow 25.6# in C4 vette rails.

 

Yea, but they are still blue.

 

They work awesome and blue matches my car

 

Yes....Ford doesn't make injectors, IIRC. BUT they work real well in Vettes. Just ask Jon at FIC.

 

I know what you mean, they were made for Fords and the used ones came out of a Ford. Many many car parts are made by subcontractors but if it came from a Ford, or says Ford, most people refer to it just as you did. Yes, you can use several different makes of injectors in your Vette. Some are rated at different fuel pressure than true Corvette injectors use. ie they may be rated at 39 lbs/hr rather than 43.5 lbs/hr. In addition, they may not fit your fuel rail or require modification. They may be a strange or foreign shape or color which might be noticed by a future buyer and raise questions about the integrity of your car. it is also possible that your ECM may not be able to accommodate some injectors and cause a rich or lean running condition. Also, be careful because injectors sold on auction sites or web sites may be rebuilt or modified by the vendor. Just clarifying.

 

I thought my oem 88 GM injectors were made by Bosch.

 

Also don't buy from this jerk. You may end up with the wrong junk yard injectors and engine damage. He'll play games when you ask for a refund.

I was finally refunded all my money after I reported him to the California Attorney Generals Office. I can't believe that Ebay has him listed as a good vendor.

He has to have a legal disclaimer that lets him off the hook. Plus it can cost you more to return an injector than the original price that you paid. Basically he will sell you a junk injector and refuse to refund your money because the injector you returned is junk. He will charge $35.00 return fee plus 15% restocking plus shipping and then he will refuse to give you your money back. He's a real nice guy.

Also, if you have installed injectors that are not OEM you should have a tune. You could be running too rich or too lean. Over a long period this can lead to engine damage or at least damage to your cat. I have read about cats that glowed red hot because oversized injectors were installed causing a fire.

 

Good write up Kool. I remember when you went through this. It can happen to anyone who takes a chance and uses something that is not really intended for their car (especially if they are rebuilt (used) injectors). It's a PITA to change injectors in a L98 car and no one would choose to do it twice. Best to spend a few extra bucks and avoid the rebuilt, modified, Frankenstein injectors that where never intended for our cars. Glad it all worked out for you!

 

They have a FORD stamp on them.

 

'nuff said

 

 

They were made by Bosch for Ford. Who ever orders them from the manufacturer gets their logo. We can have our logo on Bosch or Siemens if I order 10,000 or more pieces.

 

Actually most 88's were lucas and all 85-87 were bosch 1 with the RP logo

 

The injectors in my Ford are yellow.

 

I've been running 24# SVO's for a couple of years now.
