refurbished injectors, are they usable?

Hi all.

I am budget building my r33 gtst now. Got hypergear turbo and pfc. Now looking after injectors. Planning to make 250-270rwkw.

Found these injectors on ebay. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/6-Genuine-740cc-fuel-injectors-RR544-for-Nismo-Nissan-Skyline-R33-RB25DET-ECR33-/112089938321?hash=item1a1914b991:g:YkIAAOSwawpXq-aw&autorefresh=true

They are marked "- PROFESSIONALLY re-manufactured" and "- Spray, Flow and leak tested". I reckon they look good.

So just want to ask are they really good? Or can you recommend anything else that can do the job and is cheap?

 

Btw, what afm do people use on rb25 today? Still z32 afm?

Good and cheap don't really go together but in theory professionally remanufactured and tested injectors should be fine. The question is can you trust the supplier ? Are they enough of a saving to be preferred over brand new (and new technology) injectors?

If you are using Nistune then Z32 AFMs are still a good upgrade (if they are brand new and genuine) but if you are upgrading the ECU then you will be going MAP sensor

Cheap copy Denso injectors gave me bad hot starts and really bad fuel economy.

Poor atomisation, had to retard timing heaps.

They weren't made in Japan.

Had to rip em out and dyno tune all over again.

Tried to save $300, but cost me another $1000 to fix

That makes sense. So do you have some suggestion?

Thank you in advance.
