just received my 60# injectors from bigolered. however im curious as to what these engravings mean on the injectors themselves. also has anyone even heard of this brand?

 

you got a good set

 

cool, now what do the engravings mean

 

um...wtf?

 

they were flowed and matched.

 

thats good to know, but can you explain them to me? i like learning things haha

 

they flow bench the injectors to make sure there within a percentage of eachother... they usually come with a sheet saying what they flowed @ xx psi

not sure why they didnt send it to you... but yeah basically you got a good set... flow benching is not mandatory it is considered optional and usually extra!

now there are many advantages to flow benching but im not gonna post information i am not sure of so if someone else can step in and cover that part, im pretty sure it makes tuning a little more precise...

 

A guy I work with retired from Siemens and he said before that when they flow match the injectors to make sure the coils are all correct they all have a serial number they engrave in the injectors.

Kinda like torque stripe for nuts and bolts.

 

Yeah but why the f did they engrave the injectors?

can anyone confirm this?

 

Ummm.....I guess e-mail the company, I dunno? All companies do things differently, when you buy a custom crate motor from a company I'm sure it's been dyno'd and the guys that worked on it probably signed it somewhere or left their unique signature on it somewhere.

 

reason is pretty obvious...to shave some weight.

 

Weight conscious driver FTW! But seriously it's to save the companies ass if you have any problems and they can trace it back to the guy/girl that tested them and he/she probably has logs somewhere.

 

i agree ^^^ mine were flow benched but had no engraving thats just what that co does

 

Interesting.... I had no idea they did this kind of stuff, but than again, I don't know too much about engines/cars to begin with.

 

ok so it seems this is the flow-bench rating. but i need a deciphering!

should i just tune them as if they were 60's?

 

If they are 60's then yes. If you want more info on the markings e-mail the company, they will probably say they are witness marks.

 

yeah just tune for 60's bro, its like having a header thats mild steel then switching for a ss one, was it needed no but it still is an upgrade... (sorry for the bad example its late im tired)

 

cool cool! i cant find any set in stone prices on these new, but it looks like they are pretty pricey

 

from what I can tell it looks like the flow 58lb/hr @probably 43.5 psi (standard testing psi) and each one is number probably in the group of injectors tested (first 3 numbers) as for the slash and last number, maybe that the percentage they may differ from. Just a thought,

 

it looks like a flow-match rating of 58#

 

65 lb/hr, High Impedance, Disc type injectors, should cost $60/each
