Blimey - you guys still love to argue I see! LOL

To answer the OP's question, the Siemens 72s work well and are still obtainable. The 83s are great but damn hard to find.

4x Siemens 83s will idle at 1.0% CO perfectly on a L8. (assuming jits not a low comp badly cammed tractor of a thing that mechanically cannot do that)

If closed loop is active on a suitable engine then you can add a cat and pass any 2017 emissions test.

The L8 controls pretty accurately down to about 1.2 ms as long as the firmware is tweaked accordingly and the lower load sites stabilised.

Some tuners can only use the old Pectel way of adjusting injector size via the battery adder table which lost you top end resolution on the main table. (not always a bad move - unless you nee all 83lbph) and in turn ended up with a base fuel table they could only have too rich, or too lean.

The P8 is a little better.

I dont like anything bigger on any Weber than 1000cc and at that injector spec your looking at really big power, so you should want to be upgrading ECU hardware for many reasons other than mere injector control anyway.

You ideally want datalogging, temperature and pressure control along with ancillary control and all the other things that a super highly strung motor shpould have in 2017.

Why not give an informative answer like Stewart, the thread is about cosworth injectors not how to belittle people because they make a statement that their car runs fine at idle or need bigger injectors.

Because running fine is a vague and meaningless statement to make. It is comments like that YOU and others should be questioning.

To support HIS statement with some actual meaning, HE is the one who should have answered like Stu has done.

I'd think if stu mapped it, its running fine at idle and the rest off the rev range !!! He was trying to point out that on his Weber ecu with big injectors the engine idles and runs perfect as it was done rite by a pro !!! Have you ever mapped a Cossy on Weber management ???

So you are saying that nobody can post a simple bit of information but have to justify it to you first! Read the hundreds of posts on here about all sorts of random things, not everyone writes a page full of detailed information on every subject! I cannot see what exactly you are trying to prove? Maybe you have superior knowledge of injectors than me but your attitude stinks! Lighten up and stop looking for something to put people down about.

Guys,
I can see Stevies point but i think it got lost in the summer heat where the nights are long, but internet answers are kept short...

A YB, or indeed almost any engine will idle absolutely beautiful at 10% CO. But that would be really, really bad.

The same engine running 2% CO wouldnt, to the untrained ear, sound any different at all. But that fuel level would be good. (Unless it has a cat - then that would be bad too...)

So Stevies point was just that the mere fact it idles lovely doesnt mean the injector pulsewidth was able to be set low enough in that ECU for nice sensible emissions levels and indeed fuel; efficiency.

Stevies reply was actually on topic, but came across a little blunt I think.
Steve, to be fair, is one of the most knowledgable people on here, most of us can learn something from him, so dont hang him just yet... he might know something that I still need to!

Most stuff really mate. We dont see that many YB's nowadays compared to our usual stuff, but we still see plenty in the grand scheme of things.

I'm weighing up my options mate, I have an l8 but by time I buy wasted spark, closed loop, launch control anti lag and electronic boost control I'm wondering if I'd be better off going for a different ecu altogether? What would you recommend and map?

Need a new loom regardless of what ecu I use

If the statement is vague and meaningless, then yes it needs questioned.

That isnt putting anyone down, it's just trying to get proper and useful information out there so people without experience will not be mislead.

Always pick an ecu that your chosen tuner is happy with, and that meets your needs both for now and the future. And that you know you can always get good support for, locally if needed.

There are so many options out there these days it's easy to pick something that initially looks ok or cheap, only to struggle with it weeks, months down the line, especially if you cannot get support for it, or if you decide you want more at a later date and it's a dead end or cannot be upgraded.

Although must stuff these days is fairly good

That was my line of thought mate they seem to go out of fashion quickly these days and get branded dated as soon as the next model comes out so last thing I'd want is 2-3 years down the line when I change spec to find no cosworth specialists will touch a it. MSD isn't a ridiculous journey from me so it would be whatever he could do really.

Most should still support ecus that they sell. I still map and support the Autronic ecus that I sold 17years ago.

using low impedance injector on this setup is illogical. its very problematic tune high flow low impedance injector on idle!!!


if you want to reduce cost...and have still IAW. buy 4Q4 ECU from fiat coupe, find immo off bin, put high impedance motorsport injectors...and you are fine.

but you need to tune it

And another example why peoples posts need questioned !!

To say using low impedance injectors on a setup/ecu that uses low impedance injectors is illogical...is also "illogical". Even more so when it's already been well proven they work.

Now if you had already changed to an ecu that does not necessitate low impedance injectors, then it might make some sense. Changing to an ecu purely so you can use high impedance, especially an OEM ecu that can still only be tuned by a handful of people...makes no sense.

which injector is better for 4 cyl engine with 800cc

low or high impedance?

you have your answer....

ofcourse you can buy another ecu like vems, link...etc

Whichever is correct for the ecu you are using.

There is no generic answer that one 800cc is better than the other, because there are many makes and designs of injector regardless of HighZ or LowZ

Not wanting to get into another argument with you but it annoys me when people make statements like this guy about the"problems of getting a good idle with high flow, low impedance injectors running off an L8 ecu.If it is set up properly a good steady idle is achievable.Yes my engine is old school but it performs well and I have never seen the need to modernise with a new ECU or high impedance injectors.

Yes they are hard to get hold of. What spec are you going for? The 83lb injectors are good for 450/500 bhp. Are you after more power than this?

Can't buy them new or atleast I haven't seen them but there's always a few floating around second hand anywhere between £300-£400
