Mot sure if this is the right place to post this up, but I bought a set of 550cc injectors n they were close to impossible to install, had to modify them to fit them n just giving u guys out there a heads up to stay clear n maybe spread the word. His eBay user name is - clean-injection. The item number I bought was 170855484984. And before u all go why did u buy off eBay blah blah, u live u learn, my mistake is ur gain.

Funny you say that I nearly bought from the same people

I asked them a million questions about injector physical size , they told me it'll fit , there was no way the dimensions they gave me would fit

I never bought them due to that reason .

not all ebayer are bad, we have a ebay shop and 99% of customers are very happy. its probably better to do some research on the forum and see what actually does fit in though :yes:

I'd say this would he better in another section.

but, I bought my current injectors from a person on eBay.

based in the US, they were the most pleasent people to deal with, with fast turn around, great communication, and excellent service.

straight fit, plug and play.

as an example of the service:

sent them an email Christmas day here(christmas eve there), and had a reply within the hour.

had the injectors in my hands in less than 2 weeks.

and that's over the holidays.

so, some are good, some are bad.

I would definitely buy from these people again.

Yeah there's always gonna be good and bad I emailed this particular n made these were direct bolt in injectors to replace stock injectors, he sed yes but when I received them they were 11mm in diameter n way too short, when the stock ones are 10.4mm n slightly longer. In the end after drilling out a stock fuel rail to compensate we had to source other injectors that were the correct 10.4mm diameter n length. Just a massive headache. From taking it to a shop were it shouldn't taken 2 hours has now taken a week just to fit some damn injectors lol. Just a warning to be wary of this seller not the entirety of all eBay sellers :)

I had a similar case from a different eBayer

I asked if mine were a direct fit and obviously he said yes.

2 weeks later when they arrived they did not fit. I told him that it wasnt a direct fitment as mentioned and asked for refund. I had to take pictures of how they were different and send them.

He gave me a full refund and even covered postage both ways. I was happy with the refund but the time it takes to do all that was a waste.

Just buy quality injectors :)

I bought some injectors from a so called reputable dealer on eBay trying to sell fake injector dynamicss injectors. He convinced me that they were genuine, only to see that they were not ID's when they arrived. He accepted a refund but yeh a total waste of time. I later bought some ID injectors from a SAU trader and boy was there a difference.

Lucky I just read this, as I was about to buy some off of him next week.

I sourced some from a business on here instead.

Thanks very much for the heads up Marcus :)

    • Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
    • The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around 
    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
