I ran across this thread a week or so back when I "forked" an EOIT thread to hopefully spark more focused and meaningful discussion on that particular subject.
Anyway, the more I read the more I find in common. I'm also running a set of "recapped" / redrilled inectors from FIC. I asked them for data ahead of the purchase and was promised something would be shipped with the injectors but found no such information included in the shipment and received no further responses from them on the subject. These were sold as 42lb/hr bosch IIIs. Upon opening the package I found a set of 8 GM 12561462 / Bosch 0280155931 grey injectors that likely began life as 28 lb/hr LS1 injectors.
Back to the present - several hours of reading later (most important reading found here) I come to a fuller realization that the original injector data is likely all but useless.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas / recommendations on who might be able to properly flow test injectors. Not an injector cleaning shop type test, but a real characterization test that demonstrates slope and offset at different pressures and voltages.
I'm discovering that the slow and painful way. Though I've achieved relatively decent results using the SVO injector offset vs. voltage table, I think more accurate injector data couldn't hurt. After "a lot" of reading on the subject I've come to find that anyone that tests injectors and specs static flow rate should probably not be trusted to provide a truly matched set of injectors. And by matched I mean injectors that share the same flow characteristics at all pulsewidths, pressures and voltages. I believe this is why this particular company generally removes the Bosch part number from the body, and sometimes paints their "matched" injector sets (blue, hence the name "blue demon").
Would you have a part # on those?
