we've tuned a ton on RC 1000 and 1200 on E85. Work great.

A couple on FIC BlueMax 1450cc and 1250cc.

Custom modified Lucas based 1200cc here

Quote about disc based injectors from internet.

Top feed disc injectors use a small disc with six holes around its circumference. The disc rests on a short chimney that surrounds a metering hole. As the disc is raised off the chimney by magnetic force, fuel flows through the holes in the disc, over the walls of the chimney, and out the metering hole to form a full, finely atomized cone.

Performance advantages over pintle injectors (i.e. Ford / Bosch & Accel types) as listed by Delphi:
• The flat mating surface ensures that no excess fuel is present to evaporate and therefore, no deposits or clogging can occur.
• Compatible with alternative fuels (i.e. E85, Methanol)
• Longer service life
• High-speed disc action allows wider dynamic flow range for improved idling
• Quieter operation
• Revolutionary disc design resists build up deposits which can affect fuel flow.
• No Fuel leakage for quicker starts

no mal intent against RC here but.....

PS mine have stainless steel bodies but are Lucas 120 lb.

I currently have a set of overworked PTE 880s on the Evo, but I have my eye on a set of ID 1000s for both it and my wife's WRX.

I ran Denso 660cc on E85 for 6 months. Now that's being overworked..
