Help me decide

[1105]

I have a choice of either buying a set of used 42lb injectors with ~5k miles on them for $250 shipped, or a brand new set for $290 shipped. I'm thinking of going with the used ones. The guy claims they work perfectly and they aren't that old. I'm running short on cash and need to save some money... So if the used injectors are fine, go for thoes instead of the new ones

Dude... ALEX on TMS has a set for $180(they are used).

I was going to buy them for GINO, but he(gino) is being an IDIOT... so they are still up for grabs from ALEX.

Look in the classifieds, im sure you will see them if you search a little.

Dont jump on things man, if you wait, it will come.

I paid 320 for used 36#'s and a 75mm MAF so i think you could probably find a better deal then that

 

[SlowGT]

What else you getting to go with 42# injectors? A turbo is always a good choice

What else am I getting or allready got And why settle for ONE turbo when I can get TWO

Tell him you will take them off his hands for $200!

 

[BlackVert]

dude wait an extra week or two and get new ones. they are kind of important and i wouldn't want to take a chance on it.

btw, i'll take that turbo kit off your hands for $200!

 

[SlowGT]

I was hoping you weren't going to use 42s with your current setup. And then having all your exhaust parts for sale kind of gave it away. But I wouldn't have guessed that 42s would support twins.

 

[1105]

Money is a little short so I was trying to find some used 42lb injectors for like $200. 42's should be enough because I'm only looking for 450-500rwhp

 

[OinkAodeOink]

42's are plenty ...

Ide find a better deal then 250 though... for 200 i would do it. Buy em new if you cant find any deals.
This is somthing that you can get at last minute anyway, so wait on it, and keep browsing the classfieds, and if you cant find any, just order em, and have them shipped next day air.

IMO, the price is fair. Allow me to justify my reasoning.

Let me state that I don't believe most people when it comes to some parts of a car. One of those being injectors. With that said, I believe the injectors more than likely are in perfect working order. Why? Because he is charged "a lot." If they were sketchy or old and the workings of them were questionable, he would be charging 200 or even less. He is charging "so much" because he is confident that what he is selling is still "good."

You as well as I know that budgets do not make fast race cars. Unfortunately, we all have them. Working within the parameters of our budget to achieve maximum speed or ET often requires that one not be so "cheap." This is not an item to skimp on, even if cash is low. I say $250 is more than fair. If you want to wait, and pay for shipping, I say $290 is an even better idea.

Hell, if it were me this is what ide do..

Check the classfeids, and if I couldt find anything up until the last 2-3 days, i would simply drive over to JD's, or CFM and pick them up new.

$250 is too toooo much for USED injectors...


---

ANYWAY...

$200 or $180 is fine.

So did you contact the guy I told you?

 

[1105]

No one really wants under $250 for their injectors and Alex had his sold allready Its looking like I might be getting some new injectors here.

 

[SlowGT]

Yeah, 42s are plenty for that HP. Curious as to why you're fooling with twins to make such a small amount of power? Unless it's just for the coolness factor

 

[rudeone707]

just go with them new and scrounge. They are only $40 more than the used ones that you were looking at, if you could get them for way less than 250 then it would be a better deal.

 

[andystang]

i just got a set on corral used for 200. im also doing a turbo setup except a single.

 

[1105]

didnt know 500rwhp was a small amount Especially not for a DD street car. Thats just my goals for now.

 

[Joes95GT]

I think he means "small" in terms of the capable power output of the twins, relative to the amount you want to produce.
