Guest Report post Posted February 4, 2015 Anyone here running Deatschwerks Injectors? They appear to be direct fit and respected in the US? Are they any good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT Nige 18 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 Hi Nigel We use these Injectors in our GT4 GT86 British GT car and have had zero problems with them so far... How's the build going...??

Hi Nige, Long time no speak?? The project is on here in the builds section and is coming along great. I wish the weather would warm up so my welding mask would stop fogging up!!

JamesP1991 222 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 I'd love to know exactly what effect the injectors have? Is it worth the £300 investment or do you think they are best reserved for just the higher end builds? Be great to hear some thoughts on this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 442 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 .... err, on low(er) compression builds... Injectors? As the art mistress said to the gardener, it all depends on size... Spec K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesP1991 222 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 Guess the next thing I will be looking at are the Crawford power blocks then, as they are quite popular over in the US on N/A builds to help bridge that torque gap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT86Jay 202 Report post Posted February 5, 2015 Guess the next thing I will be looking at are the Crawford power blocks then, as they are quite popular over in the US on N/A builds to help bridge that torque gap! Fensport have fitted and mapped a set of these. Saw some good gains in the roque dip area but I believe it lost some on the tip end. As every NA tune does when changing dynamics of intake. Increase somewhere downside else where. Question is, does it make it a nicer car / drive better? I should think so having more torque. Also worth pointing out it's an negligible gain if you're planning to go FI. Not worth spending the money on them if you plan to go FI in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted February 5, 2015 I must admit, I'm not getting the appeal of losing power at the top end for more torque (that I don't really need) lower down the scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, I wonder how noticeable it is in the top end. If it's just a bit of air loss that can be seen whilst mapping but not feeling to much then I maybe convinced. If it makes it a better car to drive that would be good too. I'd possible try them out but going SC anyway and apparently it's not worth doing both.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodename47 446 Report post Posted February 5, 2015 You'd feel the power dropping off after 6.4k. Jay, not worth doing with a SC as you're not relying on the natural harmonics of the manifold to draw air into the engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I saw some independent tests done on the FT86 club forums for the power blocks and the dyno showed a solid increase in both torque and power, especially after a tune in the mid range: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62007 Obviously by lengthening the intake runners you are always going to have a decrease somewhere in the rev range (we can't have it both ways) but the gains are potentially greater with a tune overall than the losses based on their tests. Especially given mid range torque is the bug bear of everyone! I plan to stay N/A permanently as it is more appealing to me personally than FI. Now I know N/A tuning is very expensive for this engine, however I would rather take my time and choose my mods carefully, and for the price, the power blocks did seem a rather sensible option. You'd feel the power dropping off after 6.4k. Jay, not worth doing with a SC as you're not relying on the natural harmonics of the manifold to draw air into the engine. Hmmm that is quite a sizeable drop early on in the top end, has potential there for the engine to feel pretty flat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
