They are bigger than a Green but smaller than a grey, a very nice intermediate injector mate, well worth keeping.

These injectors came factory fit in USA Ford Mustangs 5.0L V8 engines and lincoln limo cars, Aston Martins amongst others.

The flow rate is around 440 cc/min.

I ran these in my old saph on my old engine and it made a cosy 400 reliable horses.

For sale, they will prob make Ł150 on ebay.

They are not the light blues that are usually fitted to Cossies. I would advise against fitting them until you can find out exactly what they are.

The part number you have given Nic is a factory standard in the Aston Martin Lagonda and have a flow rate of around 300cc/min @ 3 bar fuel pressure which means they still larger then a green, 803.

Greens are infact 382cc

So these injectors on a YB are good for no more than 300bhp....if Dans findings are correct.

If my info is wrong then I must apologise. Just been on a Bosch website which lists all the injectors and ratings. Was in German So may not quite have understood it right.

bosch 0280150985

Type this into google and click the HTML link.

Sorry Phil, you are wrong there.

They will happily work with the standard ecu's providing you can get
the software in the chip remapped and configured for them.



(Please dont take this as a diss post to you as it isnt)

SECS....who in there right mind would use that injector in a Cossie....to get a chip to work would cost more money than buying the correct ones and some.

So i stick with my comment NOT SUITABLE.

Phil, You are partially correct .

BUT

The injector size may be inadequate but my statement was aimed
at the fact you stated the resistance could not be used on a cossie ecu.

...Simon any resistance can be used with a resistor but why go to the bother when cheaper alternatives are out there

Its like trying to force my massive cock in your arse...its far better to use a smaller one like Rainbirds

I think the golden rule is injector colour is NOT always the way of telling
the power capability or flow rate.


For instance.....

On my car, I have did have a set of 750 cc Jap injectors which were the EXACT
colour of the 400 Light blue bosch injector plus they are high impedance !
They looked absolutely identical too.

As a comparison...

Bosch 400's (light blue) rated at 380-400 ish BHP.
Mine are around 470-500 BHP


(I ended up spraying them an unusual colour as people assumed only 400 bhp - PINK )


Having said all that, just fitted a set of Rochester 1000cc's now
