Default Ford 2.3 Turbo Injectors?

Sorry maybe i'm dumb and this has already been answered, but has anyone found any use for the 2.3 turbo coupe fuel injectors from ford? They are factory 35lb/hour injectors and a buddy has a set for sale cheap. Just wondering if this can be used in many and/or any import applications.

Thanks

I thought they were 30 lb/hr Redtops, same used on 3.8L SC motors.

They can be made to work on Hondas..........30 lb/hr = 325 cc/min

Top needs trimmed down for fuel rail, no need to mess with the injector tip, it was a sacifical unit

Fuel rail sits higher, will need 1/2" spacers from Home Depot, also need to grind the inner alignment tab, easy with a dremel and a steady hand, then OBD-1 Honda clips fit right on.

turbo 2.3's had either green top or brown top injectors. Greens are 30's browns are 35's, both are low impedance.

Mista: Awesome reply man. I really appreciate the pictures and everything. Maybe you could turn it into a single post write-up for that contest. Thanks again. Also I did some simple math, seems like 35lb browns would result in about 380CC injectors?

Again, thanks for the reply.

remember that ford rates their squirters at 2.5 bar pressure and Honda normall run at 3.0 bar

lb per hour @ 2.5 bar * 10.9 = cc/min @ 3.0 bar
