TLF injectors

Found a company selling direct fit 380cc injectors for the JCW. Anyone ever heard of them before ? Says American made.

Never heard of them. What's the price difference between those and the JCW injectors? Also.....are you going to get a tune done after you put in the 380cc injectors? If you are....you might be better off, and save some money going with a larger set of injectors....like 550cc. Just a thought.

$140.00 for the set reman with a 1 year warranty. I talked to the company and they said they are direct drop in replacements.

I have 450cc injectors right now but was going to just keep it mild and do the JCW or comparable.

If you have 450cc injectors right now, why would you go back to 380's? Also....you will need a new tune to make your motor run right after the 380cc injectors right? I guess I'm a little confused.......

Nothing is installed yet. I'm getting ready to do my pulley soon. Just wanted to keep the mods more simple and buy JCW injectors.

If you are just doing a pulley, you are wasting your time and money with the 380 injectors. If you do end up using them, you will need a tune or your car will idle rich, and run rich at wide open throttle. You are better off keeping your stock injectors until you get into mods like exhaust, header, cam, head......then get new injectors and tune.

Don't do it. They are NOT the same spec or quality that the factory JCW injectors. We find this out when doing a custom tune as they just won't tune correctly. The price on the JCWs is much more, but really worth it when we tune as it will be right.
