Some probably already know but, Back when I bought them there wasnt anything to read about them but I can tell you now do not go anywhere near Venom Injectors. I spent 700 when I bought them but had them sitting there as I was waiting for the engine to run in before fitting my new fuel system. Showed my mechanic and he said Sh !t I would have them tested the flow holes are all over the place. So today I had them tested by MIS(Mobile Injector Services) and all six failed......ALL FU$%N SIX. Four of the six leak and the flows which are tested at half cycle were ; No 1 94ml per 30 Seconds No 2 96ml per 30 Seconds No 3 88ml per 30 Seconds No 4 101ml per 30 Seconds No 5 95ml per 30 Seconds No 6 92ml per 30 Seconds I have emailed a guy off of Ebay US which has his company TLF Performance on the box and who signed the postage declaration to see what can be done but I reckon I have done my dosh. I could resell them but I'm no F^%$N lowdown filthy prick. If they didnt leak and the flows were generally on the money I wouldnt be as cut but damn it makes ya wanna cry. ANYWAY BE WARNED IN FUTURE. I HAVE SEEN INJECTORS ON EBAY THAT LOOK JUST LIKE THEM BUT THEY DONT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT BRAND I RECKON THEY ARE VENOMS. ANYWAYS THATS MY BLAT IM OFF TO KICK MYSELF IN THE BALLS CHEERS Imtorqing

Are these the brand injectors or something else? http://www.venom-performance.com/nf/...niInjector.cfm (http://www.venom-performance.com/nf/html/uniInjector.cfm) Did the fuel injector guy ultrasonically clean them after the poor initial flow results? Did they improve at all?

The one's I have are Maroon topped and meant to be straight bolt in's over the factory ones. The Spray holes that are drilled at the bottom were all over the place and there were machining marks all around them on the main body. This wouldnt have bothered me or the injector tester as much except that the machining marks were for unknown reasons and not consistant. His opinion was that they look like they were held in a vice and the wholes were hand drilled not machined. Also three of the injectors the main body were loose and you could hold the head and spin the body around and around. The injector guy said "Ummmmm, that's not meant to happen." If that happens they can leak all over the place. I have contacted the guy who mailed them to me in the states and he said no problem send them back to him with a copy of the test sheet and he will send me another set. I told him that they are getting a bad name in OZ as the people I have spoken to have used them and had the same problems ie leaking etc etc. Ill keep you guys posted when I get the next set. Hopefully this was an early batch and they have their sh !t together. Cheers Imtorqing
