hope they ship to the U.S.
I'm also curious what turbo header are you using?
edit: oh ya also forgot to mention I suggest running a single injector (per cylinder) set up. The reason being that tuning should be there for you and given a injector fails you have the possibility of running a cylinder lean..and damaging your motor..most of the time running lean cracks a piston or damages the valve terrain. If you run a single injector set up and the injector goes bad, you wont run lean, you wont even get a combustion in that cylinder so you'll be fine.

I have a spare alloy plate like the one pictured that I have had machined to hold down the coils if your intereested?
Holds the coils in place on the silver and black top engines, (will not work on the ST170 rocker though)
turbo header is from http://www.chevroletls1.com/zetecturbo.html
Inlet header is from http://www.jenvey.co.uk
Plenum is made by myself
Never heard of an injector failing but I see where you are coming from.
The second set are faded in depending on what boost I set it too.
There was a good reason for going 8 injectors but thats a different topic all together.
In brief it gives a better spray pattern which helps the fuel to mix and give a better burn.
By staging the injectors in the manifold it has certain drivability and power advantages also.
The lower bank assist lower boost and rpm speeds and emisions. The higher bank are tapered in as the boost comes on, (or whatever I decide to set them to). As they are further from the valve face it gives the fuel more time to mix with the air.

awesome thanks for the link for the header.
My motor is similar to the 2nd zetec they put in the contours and mondeo. Its also similar to the st170/svt . The difference is, st170/svt the vct is controlled on the intake cam, on the zx2..it controls the exhaust. I do plan to swap to the ford racing focus head, the cnc'd one. So yes the adapter plate I could use.
I'll me you later this week to discuss it, I'm in the middle of my work week..and since I'm home now my brian is turned off. I totally understand on the injectors, and I agree.. I've never had a injector fail either, but I guess anything is possible...was just looking out for you
