Well nuts, I guess I will have to wait 25 days. I put in new GW Injectors early April and one already failed now I have doubts about the other 3. So I will now wait for yours.

I had one of my brand new GW's fail within 700 miles. GW confirmed bad wiring (after Mr Injector said the same). They replaced the bad one, but the GW set is now 2nd backup to a set that was refurbished and proven to work over the years. Marco's new injectors are working great so far, about 2000 miles.

so i'm seeing 2 rubbers on the nozzle end, stacked on each other. is that needed on these due to body length differeneces? i've got a set coming, shall i use 2 on the nozzle end?

As they are a different injector body the rubbers are there to make up the difference, you dont have to do anything they come pre-assembled ready for you to bolt in.

According to my supplier I have the first set of Marco injectors on the Canadian East Coast!
Finally got out for a good highway drive yesterday and found the van ran great on the highway with(maybe I'm crazy) a difference around 3k rpm in throttle response. I admit, I baby this van and don't often push it at all.
Looking forward to adding the rocker arms to my winter engine rebuild along with an upgraded oil pump and these injectors. Next summer will literally fly by!
Thanks again Marco
Brian

Testimonial on a 2.1L stock Carat.
I now have smoother idle both cold and hot, hardly misses a beat.
I have better throttle response from a standstill, when shifting gears and at speed.
I am using taller gears around town on Seattle hills, third when I previously used second and fourth when I used third.
I can't see how there is any performance downside with these injectors. |

High Performance WBX Injectors Testimonial: Stock 2.1L 87 Syncro Hightop.
I notice quicker starts, smoother idle, both cold and hot.
Improved throttle response from a standstill and at speed.
Pulls noticeably better in the 3k-4k RPM range.
Very satisfied with this purchase.

Thanks for your honest report, the is a noticeable boost in mid-range torque that alows you to drive in a higher gear, as you noticed the improvements and an overall nicer running engine.
Thanks again

You can bet there will be more versions on the market soon, and I think we know from whom.

Thats ok, competition is a great thing. my injectors are an accumulation of years and years of testing, it doesn’t happen over night.
You have got to be some sort of crazy man(me) to do these things out of passion not profit🤪 |

I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully people will remember who developed/originated these and continue to buy from him. Threads like these at least help to document the creater of a ground breaking product. |
