BMW injectors for Lanos... question

[MMamdouh]

heres the ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-1-8-RECON-INJ ... 240%3A1318

it states lower down the page a flow rate of 185cc at 3 bar (~45psi)

theres also 192cc injectors for 6cyl 323 and 325 bmws: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-E30-323-325-6 ... 240%3A1318

these are the two lowest flow rate injectors i can find at the moment.

i recon the 185cc are too big for a 1.5 SOHC... unless you got forced induction or so... we are talking 27% bigger and that is a big difference

what is the 1.6 flow rate

the BMW injectors on a 1.6 engine are 150CC/min

the 1.5 SOHC has 135CC\min injectors and i recon the 1.6 DOHC got 150CC\min injectors

MMamdouh

so i could be alright with 1.8 injectors

[MMamdouh]

in my opinion they are a bit big and might cause problems... i'd shop for the 150cc/min ones

but remember, jeff has the 1.6 dohc lanos already, so yeah, he'd be better off with bmw 1.8 injectors.

yes i have noticed that... but the thing is: i already tried the blue top injectors on a 1.6 nubira and they are working perfectly

the blue tops are 150cc/min and i recon this is the very same flow rate of the woo's 1.6 engine injectors so it is a perfect match... and they do work fine on the 1.5 SOHC lanos that have 135cc\min injectors as stock injectors and they were taken from a 1600 engine so it is the second best thing to perfection on a 1600 woo

maybe the 185cc\min injectors will be good with mild boost or so... maybe it will be good with a N/A 1600 woo... it is all hypothetical talk rather than real life fact, i just don't want to recommend something that i am not sure of and cause other people to waist their money especially that i have never tested that...yet

I know its a bit late but i just wanted to give my experience in this for future reference

i Have a 1.6 16v lanos and tried the following

the blue top injectors which are the 1.6 e30 ones are a bit small for the 1.6 because it choked a bit on the top end

the yellow ones which are 195 cc are waaaaaay to rich for the car, my wideband read 10 afr and lower

the best ones till now are the light green ones which are between both of those, but they need a fuel pressure regulator because they run rich at idle and till about 2500rpm but in the top end they are excellent

i have still yet to try the 1.6 e30 injectors with a rising rate fuel pressure regulator to increase fuel at the top end and see what's what
