Where you get idea 450cc was cheap? $90 ain't cheap
 
People i heard say they get the 450cc dsm injectors for like 40-50... I never see that price, i see is 90 and over! Unless you can tell me where your sources are.

$90 is about normal. I bought mine for $100 with a resistor box. It depends on if they have been cleaned or not. I'm sure you could buy a dirty ass set for $40-$50, but would you want to run a set of clogged up injectors?

have you priced other injectors?? 90 dollars for all four is cheaper than 90 dollars each :-\

XDEep 06-20-2003 01:38 PM

Re:Where you get idea 450cc was cheap? $90 ain't cheap
 
ya they used to be 50 or so but the demand for them is very high now, obviously. pick-your-part junk yards, which i consider very over-priced, sells any injector for 8$/each. so 32 plus 44 for cleaning and balancing = 76, not including shipping.

i got mine already cleaned and balanced (supposedly) from ebay for 85 shipped. been working great. i think thats a deal cuz most auctions are going for a few bucks less not cleaned. so you just gotta be patient and look hard.

I got 450cc from dsmtrader for 60 bucks, they were off of a 97 gst, plus the guy dropped them off at my house. so it was a good deal.

i paid $27.50 (junkyard) for a set and $25 to get it cleaned. Still better than an RC 440cc for over $300...

2000vsm 06-22-2003 12:28 AM

Re:Where you get idea 450cc was cheap? $90 ain't cheap
 
yo that's the best deal i saw..

where else can u go to clean/balance the injectors?

can you go to Honda dealership or like Midas/Speedy or Canadian Tire etc?

Re:Where you get idea 450cc was cheap? $90 ain't cheap
 
There is a guy in www.honda-tech.com who goes by the name of Mike Palm. He does an awesome service. He reconditioned mine. He basically tested the flow rate, replaced all pintile tips, and cleaned the heck out of it. It came back pratically brand new. I paid $25 and received my injectors in less than 2 weeks. I'm sure that some local shops can do it. Give them a call and tell them your situation. You can also contact RC. They clean all types of injectors, not just their product..... i dunno how much tho

watch out on dsmtrader..
i got a set for $45 shipped. the moron sent me 240cc inj's from a 2g non-turbo eclipse. if you buy from there, pay with paypal, or with cash if you pick em up locally.

i found another guy locally who was selling a set for $40 so i picked those up instead.

anyone want some 240's? heh..

Hey 2000VSM, just make sure you use the part numbers that I gave you on the other post. There are peopl like that out there, who will scam and send you something else. Peace out and goodlcuk

I got mine off DSMtrader for $35 shipped in pristine condition. Same with my 1g blowoff valve. I waited a few weeks to find those deals, but they're out there. As with anything bought online, common sense should dictate that you ask for a picture of the actual product you are getting and it's always a good idea to get a phone number and call and speak to the person selling the item. You can get a much better impression whether someone is a kid, scammer or just another gearhead that isn't going to screw you over that way.

Some people are willing to pay $90-100 just out of necessity or lack of patience or whathaveyou. My goal was to do my whole turbo setup on a specific set budget, so I waited and got good deals.

my 2¢

dsmtrader.com is the ----. the majority of the people there are really honest and good to work with. i've ordered a ton of ---- from people off that site and i have never once had a problem. i also got my injectors for 50 shipped - which is about the norm there.

That sounds like a good deal. I should have shopped around, but like someone else said, lack of patience makes me willing to pay full price. :P
