Thanks for the reply. What I quoted is where you lost me. I have not noticed a different spray pattern between my front and my rear injectors. Have I not looked closely enough? I never noticed a "half cone pattern". Also, it isn't clear to me, which you are saying "This IMO hinders the performance.", the OEM or the after market injectors. Is the silicone a unique situation? Is this something I can deal with at home, on my own? Would it help if I posted or e-mailed the long detailed description of the circumstances? Thanks.
RACE ON!!!
i don't know if you have ever seen the video we did on the tpi service but here it is. Maybe it will answer your question.. However the front and rear injector have different part numbers, the pattern if viewed from the side are distinctly different. The silicone you talked about can only enter the injector through the filters. There is a port on the side (about 1/8 diameter and on the bottom is the main intake. Both filters are 10 micron.. i do not believe a droplet of silicone can penetrate the filter, but it could coat it. As far as the aftermarket injectors., again its my opinion that they are inferior to the OEM. At the time, TBI was something that RP products really spent a lot of time and money working out. TPI was more efficient so they changed gears but continued the use in other lines. RP did not develop an injector till 89 for the TPI (the multec) Bosch and Lucas were used from 85 -88, You can e mail me other concerns or details to info@fuelinjectorconnection.com thanks jon here is the link to the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUbsOYPoQcw
