Southbay Injectors?
hey guys, i may be in need of new injectors (have 24lb SVO right now). I have been having problems fine tuning my build, everything should be spot on, but it feels like, and smells like, there is too much fuel running. If i cruise with the a/c on, and hit the brakes, the motor dies when i come to a stop.....anyhow, i have read a few reviews where folks have said southbay had bad injectors, or they didnt run at the right poundage, and other things. i was wondering if anyone has had any issues like this in the event i do need new injectors? i'd be probably getting new 24lb'ers

Re: Southbay Injectors?
I have used South Bay for both new injectors or servicing of older injectors, and have had zero problems or issues in 6+ years of service. Everybody has some bad turns of luck, but so far I would give them my support based solely on my personal experience and experience of other people I know personally.

To my knowledge we've never had a complaint about our injectors.
By the way....thank you TA

Re: Southbay Injectors?
ok awesome guys....and south bay, i can't find it off hand, when i was doing my build and doing whole lots of searches, i found a post where someone (could have been another fuel injector company) saying that southbay's injectors werent putting out the right amount of fuel, that they were all short of what lbs injector size they were listed at. i still have to try and figure out how to test my injectors for leakage, got these 24lb SVO injectors with my accel base for free, but since the build was completed, i need to crank for a while for it to start, it bogs down like theyre just spraying tons of fuel in, and i've had the chip written twice for this, second time was definitely for the right size, so me and my dad are thinking atleast one or all the injectors arent holding pressure.

Re: Southbay Injectors?
bought new Bosch Type III 22/Lb, walbro 255L/h fuel pump, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, all work very well, questions answered immediately, came with a flow table showing they are matched for flow, great people even a year later after purchase, gets my money for every injector on any car.
Only criticism (if it is even that and I am reaching here, no fault of SBFI), is the Bosch III's are loud, people always ask me why the lifters are ticking, rofl, and the AFPR had a phillips screw and not a hex head bolt, so no adjustments until you change to a bolt, my understanding is they changed this and now have a bolt though
