OK

So what is the opinion overall on which injectors I should get?

I dont drive the Z a lot so it has some sitting time. I dont want them to rust up and have to replace them in 5 years.

When I do drive it, I drive it hard. The secondarys are always open.

If it's to be a NCRS judged car, order up a set of AC Delco and live with the fact that you will replace them over and over and over.

If cost isn't an issue, the RC Engineering fuel injectors are the next most expensive and a lot of people have used them. Ask some of the builders/tuners out there what they think of them. Some use them, some don't.

The Accels are new, so far only a handfull of us have them installed, so there's no real hard supporting evidence on longevity or reliability.
My "Seat 'O Pants" dyno tells me that mine are working JUST FINE and hopefully will continue to do so for some time to come.
The price was right too.
Accel is a pretty big name, and I'm hopeful that if there's problems they will be helpful and friendly.

[rant ON]
AC Delco was NEVER helpful, friendly or stood by their product.
And they NEVER WILL.
The original AC Delco Multecs were (and still are) a flawed design from the get-go and because it was such a limited production run they never updated the injectors nor offered to replace them.
They're "Official Corporate Response" is:
"We designed them for the gasoline at that time, it's not our fault that you're putting bad gasoline in your car that ruins your injectors".

Don't get me started.... I spent hours and hours on the phone and trading emails from the flunkies at AC Delco.
Got me NOWHERE.
A complete waste of time and effort.

I agree, AC delcos will not be going back in the car. Just for fun, I went to the dealership to price them out, since I wanted to check on crate engines for another car, and they are still available at $180 each, thats over $2800 to replace all 16!!

I am mostly concerned about durability. I dont want to do this again int he next 5 years. My choise is between the R/C and the Accel, just cant decide at this point.

Re: Fuel Injectors
 

Yes welcome to the forum!!

Im not sure on that either. When I helped replace a set in Effingham last year on the 90, I believe we did use O-rings. I was going to order them just as a safe measure. But I would tent to believe Haibeck also.

Anyone else got the correct info?

Re: Fuel Injectors
 

I've spoken to Haibeck personally (and in person) about the o-rings, he says special ones are not required on the Accels or the RC's. I just ordered a set of Accels for my car, everyone I've talked to that put them in is happy with them. Just make sure thay are the new silver (nickel) bodied ones and not the older design yellow ones.

I'm fairly sure the Delphi ones are visually indistiguishable from the originals. They are resistant to ethanol. Not too many people seem interested in going that route, but just wanted to toss it out again. :)

Mine cost me about the same as RC's would have. Though if you go with the '90 style primary it would probably be a couple hundred more as they were ~$20 more each.

Re: Fuel Injectors
 

Nice catch!!!!

Are all 16 the same? I thought they were different between primary and secondary.

Re: Fuel Injectors
 

Yes all 16 are the same. Put them in and go..
