Within 3cc per minute, new and have had in my car for 6 months, runs like a top, plugs are perfect.

Spent a couple dozen hours scouring the internet to find the right impedance and fuel flow.

In the above posted link, will these fit an 87 3.2?

If your car uses the 158 injector, yup! Work fantastic!

[Pyrenee2005]

It appears there are 3 injectors types that will work for the 3.2 Carrera OEM Bosch-158 injectors:

the jaguar- 157
BMW- 360
and the- 364

any feed back which one would be better suited for a race car application?

[scarceller]

I thoroughly tested the 364 against the stock injector and it's a drop in replacement. Same quality and same flow stats.
Others have tested the the 157 and 360 injectors and they also are drop in replacements. All 3 of these are basically same style injector as the stock injector and same Bosch quality.

What do you mean race application? If the engine is running the stock setup and air flow has not been improved much then any of these injectors should work just fine.

thanks and by race application meant running at wide open throttle all the time

[Pyrenee2005]

Does anyone know the quality of the OEM rebuilt injectors by JB Remanufacturing?

[scarceller]

Any of those injectors should be fine at WOT.

Rebuilt injectors are just that. They usually flow them, clean them and flow them again. They also change the filter screen and o-rings.

But they do NOT and can not guaranty the state of the coil's wire windings. The coil wire windings are still old and you just don't know if/when the coil can/will fail.

Bottom line is get new injectors if you can find them at reasonable cost. You just can't assume that a rebuilt injector is a new injector.

Got these and they are in the car and all seems Great! Thanks for all the time in reasearching this.

[scarceller]

You are using the 0280150157 correct?

I am. Ones for the xj-6.

Sweet find- I want to replace my injectors so I just ordered the Jaguar ones...saved me a ton of $$$

[Chuck.H]

I just ordered a set from Anthony at Welsh Enterprises - they have about 100 in stock, not sure if they can get more. He said they only fit that small range of XJ-6's that they don't have a lot of demand for, so I don't know if they can/will order more.

Holy moly... $20 for a new injector is dirt cheap. Witch Hunter charges $22/injector for cleaning!

Sal - searching on 0-280-155-715 I see genuine Bosch items and Ford/TRE injectors with "Bosch ev1 style connectors" cross referenced - should I be looking solely for genuine Bosch items?
Eg Ford/TRE http://bit.ly/1l0IXby

Genuine Bosch - http://bit.ly/1l0JqdX

My car is going to be live remapped shortly, so hoping this will optimise fuel delivery with the newer style injector

Appreciate the effort you've put into this topic

The 0-280-155-715 will NOT just drop in and work. It's funny you found these as I am currently testing these exact injectors in my 3.2L but they flow more fuel than the stock injectors and because they are also hi-impedance injectors they require more injector offset/on time. I had to change several parameters in the DME program to accommodate these injectors. I'm still testing them and so far they work great but they will require a custom chip to use them. Don't bother trying to install these in a stock DME, car will start and run but will run very rich. The only drop in replacements have to be lo-impedance injectors so the injector offset/on times match.

[sp_cs]

Thanks - are the genuine bosch items preferred over the TRE type?

As mentioned, I'm getting it remapped it with a new chip burnt - it won't be plug and play. I'll speak to the guy doing the remap and get his opinion too.

[scarceller]

I'd stick with Bosch type injectors. Be sure the fella doing the re-map knows where and howto set the injector offset table. You really need to fully understand the DME to do it correctly.
