Injector lbs ?

[TurboJake]

Did you move all E30 stuff with you? Seem like you have a lot.

A lot was fire sold.
A lot more was thrown away.





A lot of the important and rare bits, all came with me. Especially my Hartge valve cover, which never left my fucking sight. I transported that up here in my car in the back seat.
That was one thing I was especially not willing to allow to fall under the "Some things get lost while moving" category.
:D

This guy on my facebook is selling his injectors

I know the e30 has 17lbs ( obviously less weight = faster). Why would anyone want injectors that weight 32lbs each, thats just like putting weights on your car. I know the S52 has 21.5 injectors to keep the plastic manifold from coming off ( plastic is lighter than the M20s intake manifold, and its made out of metal).


He said that they made his car faster but I don't believe him, can anyone explain how this is possible for me ?

Thanks guys.

You've got it all wrong. You don't use 6 injectors, you only use 3. Each injectors covers two cylinders.

6 17lb injectors = 102lbs
3 32lb injectors = 96lbs

Yeah, but then you are not able to space them equally throughout the manifold, you wont be putting equal down force into the motor/ manifold. I see your logic in this, but its kind of flawed honestly.

LAWL!!!!!!!... what a troll

[Cronopoulos]

That is awesome, pure genius.

[AndrewBird]

Obvious troll is obvious.

Why has this gone this far I got it after Voltas 2nd post

[JasonC]

I knew i was doing something wrong when i went from 19lbs injectors to 30lbs injectors.... Shake my head

[Xat1cZ]

I'm guessing the ultimate weight saving would be done by just running a hose down the hole where the injectors would normally go?

edit: would I need my ECU tuned for this / ebay chip?

Use 454gramm injectors.

Wish I had known you were moving...would have taken a trip up...oh well, hope you are happy in MI. You are not cheering for the Wolverines or Spartans, are you?

Use 454gramm injectors.

Hey, if you go with the metric system (like the rest of the world), let's go straight for the 1000 g injectors...1 ton injector sounds soooo cool.

and this is why I love r3v.

They make the car faster because they're yellow, and yellow is higher up on the rainbow than blue. Yellow had to cover a greater distance than blue in the same amount time when the rainbow arced from left to right, therefore yellow = faster.

hmmm, good point. never thought about that.
