Just installed a set of 6 House of Power injectors.:peelout
I do not have an endless wallet so I went with a cheaper set. $750.
I have had them in for a week now. They are 75HP and they produce Smoke when I accelerate.
I am enjoying these injectors so far.
They have also fixed a starting issue I've been having with the truck for over a year now. Now she start's right up.

Just wondering if anyone else has tried these injectors and what there opinion is on them.

For the people in my situation you can find them at hiperformancediesel.com or discountpowerparts.com

Please keep us posted on how those injectors are holding up.

It seems in the past, the problem with going the cheap route is that the injectors don't last very long before problems like leaking come back.

If your injectors hold up, it seems like an awesome alternative for those who need new injectors and don't want to or can't afford to shell out $2000-$3000 for a set.

Did they credit you the $1200 core charge yet?

I will keep you all posted on the injectors. A true test will be the Canadian winter and my led foot.

As for the core charge I sent the cores back a couple days ago, will let you know if it does/doesn't.

great deal. i paid 2500.00$ for my new bosch injectors, but only 200.00$ more for +50hp nozzles.(no core) good luck.

Something tells me that if these guys do right by E-rock and these injectors hold up and there's no grief with the core charge credit, they'll be getting lots of business!

the only thing i dont like about anyaftermarket injectors is that there just someone elses tired old injectors with new tips installed and calibrated to flow the same but the driver or solenoid could have way more miles that the ones you send back for cores have on them i would like to find a company that offers new injectors with a upgraded tip ones preferably that wont open up and take out a cylinder

New injectors are out there, but they'll cost you $2000-$3000.

That's why so many people are stoked about the chance of replacing their injectors for $750, and the higher hp tips make this deal seem even better!

I would like to see someone that is running a DR. P or a MP-8 to get a set and throw some pressure at them and see how they hold up. I am a firm believer in you get what ya pay for.

I also Have a smarty so after some stock abuse I will try the smarty out and keep you updated. unfortunately I will be away from my vehicle for the Christmas holidays. I'll give an update on how she started after 3 weeks of just sitting there.

Personal Opinion: So far I am impressed. (Considering i had a hard start trouble for one whole year, and I spent more on the dealer to trouble shoot then these injectors cost.) Only time will tell if this was a good deal.

I know that these injectors are reman but as far as getting what you pay for..... I think its only true some of the times. I know there is no way it cost Bosh $2000-$3000 to build a brand new set of injectors or anywhere even close to that. In my experience you pretty much pay for the name on everything. Cost the company next to nothing to make and there is about a 500% mark-up. Dont get me wrong "new injectors" are better than reman but just because these injectors arent $3000 doesnt mean they arent good. Not everyone has that money to spend.

Here is an example- I was wanting to send my 04 Honda TRX450R motor out last season to have it built into a full blown race motor. So the first place I called (Rage) is a very very well know quad engine builder and when I talked to them and told them what I wanted it was going to cost me $2000 and that just for a quad! Way to much. So I called another place (Dasa), once again a very well know engine builder and the cost wasnt much cheaper. Well anyways I ended up finding a guy locally (FSR) who is a pro EDT racer (#426) and he built my motor exactly how I wanted it and it only ended up costing me $900 and thats parts and labor. After I got it back I had the motor dynoed and it was making the same power that the other shops are, and it was $1100 cheaper. I have had no problems or complaints with this motor either and this is after a year of just beating the piss out of it.
So basically I dont think that its ture that most of the time "you get what you pay for". Just my .02cents

I agree that there are exceptions to the rule. Being that no one knows much about these though its hard to run out and buy them to put it in 700hp motor. For stock replacements they might be great but I am wanting to see how they do with some pressure thrown at them. I did see on the site that sells them that it says not recommended for added pressure that tells me they are weak. Who is going to buy a set of 100hp injectors and not throw the pressure to them?

fellas,, not standing up for Bosch. But sometimes you can not see what is being done to these injectors vs the cheap ones. Ie. there is more to making injectors then assembly of some components. There is precision machines that grind the needle seat to sub micron levels, there is od grinders that grind to sub micron, high dollar id grinders for the nozzle, then there are expensive measurement equipment to ensure they are machined to spec. Oh ya expensive match guaging, expensive heat treatment and testing processes and oh ya all the electrical and mechanical testing that is done during and after assembly. All of which is to extreme cleanliness specs and environment.

Ahh well Im not in the biggest hurry to put injectors into my truck yet anyways so I be able to sit back and see how these injector end up.

Hey E-Rock you should do a cross country test:thumbsup and then we could get some good input.:lol3:
