Was looking for Ve injectors today at the wreckers, and as usual no luck with a VE motor, although i did look at a 95 altima. The injectors are identical, same coloured top, same markings and numbers, so i brought them home.

One of my injectors failed, so i needed to replace it. But seeing as i rarely drive my maxipad, i refuse to pay for one.

The impedance is 10.8ohms on the Maxima's, Mitchels guide calls for a 10 ohm reading. The Altima's are 11.4ohm, pretty close.

I have yet to take one of each injector, max and alti, to a friend of mine,and have him flow each injector.

Does anyone know the flowrates for the altima injectors?? Mitchels guide is useless for this part.

Driveability with 1 altima injector is not noticeable at all, so its staying that way till the car is sold.

Does anybody else have experience with this???

Looks like the Beck/Arnley reman injectors are the same for the VE and KA.... but the Borg Warner are different (there's actually about 4 of them for the VE, and 1 for the KA... but all different)

I'll try to find Oe part numbers tomorrow.

hey dr.colt,
nice to see another 3rd gen from toronto on the board. which wreckers did you go to. tomorrow i'm going dom's which is outside of oshawa. if they have any ve's there i'll let ya know. but to be honest i've been going to the wrecking yards regularly for the last 4 months and i haven't seen any ve motors. i think they go pretty quickly

Shock... I'll sure be glad when you're back up here with the "big boyz", in terms of posts...

tell me about it nupe.
i feel like such a freakin' noobie. even with the sig explainin' the situation.
it's hard to get back up there because i use www.torontomaxima.com for all the local chat/meets/pics/buy/sell. i gained most of my stripes under "shock211" back in the canada forum here before torontomaxima.com was around. and now since i've learned so much about 3rd gens i ask much last questions in the 3rd gen forum.
but i'll be back up there soon enough. besides i plan on getting myself a VE in the next year or two, so i'll be around here for at least another 3-4 years.

They may be compatible but they are not the same.
the altima injector should have higher capabilities than the VE injector
6 inj = 3.0 = .5 per inj
4 inj = 2.4 = .6 per inj
But most companies list them as different including the oem
So you decide.
Personally I'd use it with no worries. but I'd also want a matching set of six. to be sure that the comp runs the same duty cycle for all otherwise you MIGHT (probably) have one rich cylinder
