what's the difference

Post by K4000JB »

hi guys just wondering if anyone knows if there is any differences between the flapper injectors and the hotwire ones ,apart from the different fittings , e.g. coil resistances, flow rates, flow patterns?
cheers

just about everything is different. The end that goes in the manifold is a different size. Flapper injectors are low impedance where hotwire are high impedance and the flapper injectors don't flow as much as 3.9 hotwire ones. Basically they aren't interchangeable at all.

sorry to bring this back to the top
can anyone tell me at what pressure the flapper injectors run, what type of spray pattern they deliver and what is the maximum flow rate
thanks in advance

They run at 35psi at full throttle.
Not sure about the other two questions.
