Think Marco runs XO38's, and Dave ran XO39's (as you probably know)

Both similar flow rate to greys (403's), but slightly different spray pattern.

My mistake, thought Dave had the X039

Quite rare I think, ex-F1 injectors or something like that?

Well TBH Daves didn't sound too confident they where X038's
I've contacted the guy he sold them on to and see if he can tell me.

Knowing my luck they where X038's

How different is the X038 to the X039 thou

Thought I had something on the XO38, but can't find it. Perhaps give Harvey a call, he may know.

Well just to through confusion into the equation he had X039 on the car originally then put X038's on it for the conversion.
Harvey can't get any X038's

Have you tried Cosworth direct - they supplied these injectors to the Tyrell F1 team in the 80s

I have a new set of x039s here still in the box with Cosworth tape all over them so they may still stock them

Ok just spoke to the guy you sold them to Dave and he says they where X039's you clown

Also a guy I was just speaking to said that X038's where better then greens but not as good as Greys so 440bhp wouldn't have been obtainable on the Dyno and X039's would have been at the limit which sort of sounds right as I beleive your 440 maxed your injectors out on the dyno?.

You mean 435 . Makes sense .

So now you should be able to get the exact chip off Ahmed and just bolt it in, without having to go to Grove for a re-map.

If not (as in if it was lost when Ahmed's computer was stolen), then would the guy allow you to borrow the chip to copy?
