Does anyone know the difference between Nissan #16600-85E01 and 16600-21V02 fuel injectors? Both are suitable for Nissan Maxima VG30E engine from 1990 to 1992, as per Jerry Rome Nissan, and they are exactly the same shape, but I really did not find any information about the 16600-21V02 and its total compatibility to 16600-85E01 "blue dot". Will the 16600-21V02 be suitable to my VG30E engine? Could it have a different fuel flow rate from the "original" 16600-85E01?
Please anybody help me to make sure that I did not make a bad purchase.
Thanks a lot to all of you.

all i have read and known is that one blue dot and the other i believe is green dot. i don't think anyone knows the difference but consensus is you can't mix and match

 

Yes, the #16600-85E01 is "blue dot", the #16600-85E05 is "black dot", both suitable to VG30E engine 89~94. Local Nissan dealer said that the dot is just a way to tell us wich is the manufacturer. I've read something in somewhere that led me to guess that the dot define the flow rate, but I'm not sure. Anyway, all of us know that it is not good to mix and match.
Another guy told me that #16600-21V02 is a "new edition" of the old #16600-85E01 since Nissan have changed the part# a few times. It is supposed to beleive that they are the same part, able to do the same job. Just wanted to make sure, because here in Brazil even Nissan does not tell us what is the difference.
I hope that someone can tell what is the real difference between #16600-85E01 and 16600-21V02.
Best regards to you all.
