Injector questions, which vendors?

Posted
  • Staff

 In my down time lately I've been reading alot about injectors for the VP44 24 valve. Trying to learn and read reviews check prices and the like.

 I have looked through DAP and some others. Some look kind of "shady" or maybe that isn't the term but for whatever reason I didn't trust what they were saying. One on the other hand one seems to make some sense, Dynamite Diesel. All I know about this company is what I saw and read on their site and reviews of their products. I was just wondering if anyone has used their injectors? I did notice however that their prices are nearly double compared to DAP so I'm also curious as to whether or not it's worth it.

 .I'm not trying to start anything here between companies by any means nor bash either company. Just wondering how or why the price of the injectors can vary so much.

I'll be in the market for injectors come this summer so thought I'd start doing some homework and came across this issue so thought I'd put it up here and ask others opinions.

 I'll most likely purchase from DAP when the time comes but my curiosity got me on this.

    Good way to break a stud. high chances of hot torque will make the studs fail... Again straight from ARP - DO NOT do a hot torque. Why would you want everything expanded and try to clamp the head tigh

    Dap or dfi if you want a budget injector,. Infinite performance if you want the best.   Dynomite diesel should be avoided.  They are the bro dude choice due to youtube and magazine pushes.

Didn't know we could do that, guess I never looked into it, didn't see the need to. I think @JAG1likes doing it just to mess with people :poke:

Sometimes I feel off track and think my posts are not worth much......like when a post gets ignored because it's really not contributing much to the discussion, so I delete them occasionally. I don't delete others posts just my own when like that.

    If you think you made big boo boo just click the 3 dots in upper right hand corner and go down the list and click delete. Or you can click edit and remove/ change words that are not correct. I don't think you guys ever needed deleting so the only way I get to feel important is when I get to delete my own post. :thumbup2:

    Must be nice to be special and have extra options :whistle2:I think it was somewhat available for everyone then it got changed, so be careful what you're saying it stays in the cloud forever, this really goes for anything on the internet. I bet someday if not already it will be used against people, I'm talking about normal people, get out of line and maybe things could even be added to make it look like you said something, like planting drugs on someone that didn't have it. not talking about this particular side just in general. Food for thought.

    DELETE function is disabled for all members. Member get the hide function. This prevents members getting upset and deleting all their content. Which has happened long ago. Staff have the delete function but it will not delete instantly. It's held in a "virtual trash can" for 30 days before being removed. This is to catch accidental delete of message(s), post(s), thread(s). This why HIDE is used more so.

     

    As for performance I've broke the database down to active post in one spot for quick recovery for daily reading. Then post older than 1 year are put in a archive to store the old post. This was a performance booster. 

     

    As for content...

    Oh how I know about that being I've had a legal document sent o me from a fuel additive company for the content years ago. Still in all I still stand up for "free speech". I only ask that every one is polite to other members and treat each other like family. As for illegal activities that is another reason I don't delete there is a track record. If I got to produce information because of fraud or another crime then I need that data for legal reasons.

     Crazy world we live in isn't it? Have to cover your arse everywhere these days. And with electronic fraud and hacking it's difficult to do especially if someone is coming after you for I'll reasons.

    I guess I'm not a member.  I have option to edit, that's about it.  Edit, share, and report.

    Sorry you guys I did not realize the options not available to you guys. It's a weird globe we live on for sure. I liked it back in the 60's when the biggest problem was finding 3 bucks to fill my tank to go all Friday night. Those were fun nights back then. So simple.

    I'm sure they have their reason for putting anti on the side flapping in the breeze and I'd love to know what it is!

    Reduces co efficient of friction so as to achieve the most accurate torque.

    That only works on one side of the nut unless you're reducing friction with the air.

    I remember .24 a gallon and Mcdonalds right next door, hamburgers for 15 cents and all the high school gals showing up for lunch. It was fun in those days. We'd go out in the school parking lot sit in my 57 chevy for a smoke. In a few mins a gal, or anyone for that matter, would ask to sit inside for a smoke. Met lots of nice friends and made weekend plans that way many times.
