1600cc injectors (at least those I've seen) are a different animal altogether, and are not representative of the ones sized through 1200cc. The 1600s are pintle type injectors, and I would never use a pintle type on a high specific output application, period. You're better off using a set of aux injectors if you need that much fuel.

I guess its all what your comfortable using.. been using the blue tops in all my cars since 2000 when i was making 600hp on a 4cyl.. never an issue, so i stick to what i have had luck with.. If you were local to FIC you would see what i see..

I am not 100% sure but i think the white 1600's are all remanufactured.. Cannot say if a lot of the smaller sizer as also..

Ted B is correct on everything he said. I've worked with FIC on a few little projects and found Jens to be a straightforward, knowledgeable guy who wants to make the best product possible.
