I have used the 24 lbs Accel injectors on my 85 with no issues. Jon at FIC -- Fuel Injector Connection has a very good reputation on this Forum for providing a good product and his personal support to get you up and running.

Thanks everyone,
I checked out the FIC website and its good to know there are choices
The price for rebuilds looks good but for the long term is it better to go with new injectors or are the rebuilds as good as new?

First off the only new injector is the Accel injector and some like them and some do not. We have used lots of them here and there have never been issue. The Bosch III is a better injectors, they are not rebuilt that is a term that we all use, what is rebuilt is the injector is cleaned and new filter baskets are installed, that is the rebuild. You cannot disassemble an injector and do anything with the coil. I would personally on my own car go to the newer bosch III injector. However 24lb injectors are what is for a 85 and 85 only. In 86 you will need the 22 lb injector.

I called Jon and he recommended the 22lb bosch 3, if you check out the TPIS website they recommend the 20lb bosch denso for the 85, say they will support stock to mildly modified engines from 230 to 350 hp. At this point I think it's a matter of trusting Jon's experience.

Your injector should be a Bosch 280-150-223 which is 248 cc at 43.5 psi.

If your rail pressure is 39 psi which is standard for the 17085050 rail these are a great replacement.

FWIW, 24 lbs is equal to 252 cc. If you check pressure it is done without vaccum applied to the regulator.

Let me clarify. 2.7 bar is very old and equal to 39 psi. 3 bar is 43.5 psi and not that old, and 58 psi is the newest at 4 bar. The injectors I listed were all rated at 43.5 psi, but can be converted here if you like.

Please note if you convert the stock 280-150-223 from 248 cc to 39 psi it equals 22.5 lbs.
Knowledge is far superior to depending on someone who profits from ones ignorance.
