What injectors do you have in your 3rd Gen?

I had python before. And they ended up tappin' out on me.So I'm curious of what are some of the best injectors to put into a 3rd gen max to keep it idling smooth and getting really good power out of them.

I don't think people realize this sometimes, but Nissan is one of the greatest automobile manufacturers in history, yet some people seem to think that they don't know what they're doing, or build cars with inferior parts, so they sluttify their car with aftermarket crap.

Stock injectors. They're cheap, and pretty easy to replace if anything goes wrong. I dunno what all the fuss is about them. I've never had any problems. Sure, I get a jumpy idle every now and then, but that's the IACV being finicky.

ABC Nissan. Pretty expensive but don't have to deal with it for a long time. It was like $675 close to $700 after shipping. The most expensive thing on the car so far.

Daam, that's up there.Might check it out though.I rather spend all that once, then keep spending 3-400 bucks over and over again trying to be cheap.how long you had them in for?

In the car for a year.

Over and over again wouldn't save you any money. Thats the high dollar way. Because with shipping 2x you would exceed the cost of buying all 6 at once and paying one time shipment.

No one bought them. They were in the classifieds for a while. Until he just mentioned it I forgot all about them.

If you know anyone who works on ka motors, or has swapped something else in their 240, they will typically have extras laying around (if they didn't throw them away) that they will give you or sell to you for a few bucks. Otherwise, you should be able to find same on craigslist or something.

I would hope so since VE injectors and 240 injectors are identical

They're also the same injectors as the G20, 4th gen Maxima, J30, mid 90's Altimas, etc. Lots of cars to source from

No. It was just description back when I bought mine. If you feel unsure then call them and order it over the phone.

I upgraded my 1990 injectors and harness to 92-94 style injectors all six injector brand spanking new for another 20 yrs of trouble free operation.....If the fuel injectors were easier to get too I would refer you to junk yard injectors but you'll be replacing them and replacing them forever....bite the bullet and invest in some 92-94 injectors and intake plenum assy and fuel rail.....it'll be damn worth it!

I found out about them from cruising around the pathfinder forums. They are good. I'm gonna start using them.
