Yeah, guess I am the hated child here who spent more to get new injectors and less hassles. rebuilt is just isn't in my eyes on such a hard part to change worth it. At least now The car will die before the injectors do. My best friend just had his multecs changed in his 1990 for a set of rebuilds he's happy it runs but at the same time he also says he has the longer then normal crank periods, and it seems more slugish then when his multecs were still good. He is going to buy a set of multecs as well when he gets a few extra bucks.

Ah ill keep my 32lb evoIV Bosch injectors!
Takes 5 mins to change them on an HSR intake "with no EGR Or Air "Smog Stuff"

LOl man we just messing with you cause you paid more $$$ for a Lessor product....
Kinda like Paying 500$ for a set of new hedman headers. instead of paying 300$ for recoated Melrose headers.

Nah man mine are a little better then the 180$ ones
Mine were 195$
Smarter no...
Getting the better product at the better price yes...
Unless your questioning the Injector Rebuilding services of Jon @ FIC?
Whom sells injectors to 3000 hp drag cars who put there trust into his product because it is a better product.

Jon is a Vette owner he knows what is best for our cars there for he sells it to us at very good prices at that.

Anywho if the OP is happy with what he got and what he payed for them that is all that matters!

Just picking a bit haven't had any fun with jon Hekking lately!

When your injector coil fails on the 100k mile injector let me know ok !!!!! Yes I paid more, but in turn I got 0 mile injectors for what a 100 more bucks. I can certainly afford that and have the peace of mind that they won't fail anytime soon.

What do you need 32lb injectors for aint like your motor needs it, it's bone stock anyways. I bet if you pop the hood nothing but a DTBI 350 will be there.

Now I might be inclined on putting rebuilt stuff on my 82 vette but not the 90 since it will be a true daily driver.

I dont know if mine did.

They are 32lbers donno what ruststang uses ones that big.

And when they are rebuilt everything is guted and changed the only thing that is old is the case which has no bearing on the flow of the injectors.
So i have 0 miles ones to!

Eh they are yellow tho.... My 24lbsers were baby blue.

the coils are non serviceable from everything I have heard so how are they gutted? I don't think you can open an injector case and successfully put it back together. Even if you could the time involved verses buy new would exceed the profit.

If everyone could afford new then they would buy new simple as that. I can so I did & I am extremly happy with the way the car runs. It isn't a race car, it isn't a mod'ed out car. It is a everyday car doing everyday things from door dings to grocery getting to takin my son to school. I am perfectly content with what the car came with stock.

Congrats that you are so involved with changing stuff on car's, I personally am sick and tired of working on them and want this car done as fast as possible. If that means buying new parts so be it because the time wasted looking for stuff then dealing with it may not work is more troublesome for me the just paying extra.

I have bosche 3's in my camaro and I can't tell a difference in how the engine responds any better then how my vette is now. to me if I mash on the accelerator and the dam car goes that's fine by me. You want to come put bosche 3's in the car stop by and do it for me & wash and wax the car while you are at it. I am not a corvette fanatic in any way, I just like the handling and looks of them thats all. But in the end it will be doing everything my mini-van does when so desired.

Guys! No need to fight about it. A good deal and a good replacement part is simply the opinion of the guy buying the part. New is new and rebuilt are rebuilt.. Simple enough for me. I would just like to make a point and show you an alternative. Many of you think we just sell only the Bosch 3 for the TPI because there are so many guys buying them. For you that don't know, we sell these in new or rebuilt. We also sell fuel injectors for just about any application. The Bosch 3 is the best replacement for the multec we have found. Only because of its later technology and superb quality. But, it seems that some of you would rather have a Brand New injector. So, here you go. We are now offering the Delphi 22lb new series Multec. These are the exact OEM replacement made to replace the original but will be compliant for use with the ethanol additive’s used in most of our fuel. We have flow matched all these sets and put them on sale for $289.00 with a 3 yr warranty. Now you have all the options you may need with the service that you deserve.
