Has anyone used bosch (volvo, saab, VW, audi) Fuel Injectors on their B/D series? There isn't much info on the forum.

 

Most of the higher end injectors from FIC/ID/Grams/Injector Nation/etc are Bosch EV14 type injectors. Stock Honda obd1 injectors are carbon copies of an EV1 type injector. So yeah, people are using them. The EV14 are so good and so common that there's no good reason to run anything else these days, IMO.

What's your question?

 

My real question is what would I need to make them work on my OBD2 B18B1 Fuel rail. Long story short - I went hunting for fuel injectors and could not find a single DSM one ...So, I went looking at other cars and ran across a bunch of turbo Volvos and Saabs (knowing their rates are fairly high 390-4xxcc @ X BAR depending which color I picked off) fully intact and wondered how I could utilize their injectors in my oem intake manifold / fuel rail.

All I know found so far is that, the injectors are taller and the Denso's are 12mm where as the Bosch's are 14mm o-rings.

If you could please give me more in depth details I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!

 

Check this guy out:

Injector Nation

He's user HiProfile on here and other forums. His service is great and his prices are good enough that you'll wonder why the hell you were digging around in the junkyard in the first place.

The EV14 is a direct drop-in for the B-series injectors:





They came with an adapter clip for the EV1 to USCAR connector. Not sure what they do for the OBD2 type plugs, but I think I remember him mentioning jumpers.

You did yourself a favor by not finding any DSM injectors. They are just as archic as your stock ones but happen to be a bit bigger. As far as finding the turbo Saab/Volvo/etc injectors, can you even find the proper characteristics for them?

 

DAMN! Thanks for the great info! I'll have to figure out the clip configuration, but that's not a big deal.

To answer your question regarding the Volvo Injectors:

Volvo 850 Turbo (Orange Profile) -315cc @ 3.5BAR
1998+ Volvo S/V70 (White profile) - 350cc @ 3.5BAR
1999+ Volvo S/V70 (Blue Profile) - 395cc @ 3.8BAR
Stock V70R 2000+ - (Green Profile) - 468cc @ 3.8BAR
2004+ S60 (Green Profile) - 468cc @ 3.8BAR

For the most part, that goes for years that I found @ the junkyard as well. I can't complain - They only cost about $2.50 an injector at my local yard. I wouldn't mind experimenting. Haha! I may just grab them all.

Honestly, the Saab profiles I would have had to google while I was at the Junkyard.

I do appreciate you for sharing your knowledge! & IF I do have any further questions - I hope you don't mind if I PM'd you.

Cheers!

Thanks again, spAdam!

 

Not a problem.

Also, by characteristics I was mostly referring to the battery offsets. You can figure them yourself but it can be a pain if you're not at least in the zip code when you start.

 

There is an S4 wiki out there that has a lot of the fuel flow rates and spray patterns of those injectors. A lot are dual cone spray, and have to be clocked correctly in the manifold to spray into the ports correctly.

 

S4? I'm assuming Audi S4 injectors? Hmmmm. I didn't see too many Audi's at the yard. But, i'll grab some if I find some. Just to tinker with. Would you happen to know any further info about the "clocking" of the injector to ensure proper spray projection is achieved?

Thanks!

 

Fuel injectors - S4wiki

Covers more than stocks4 stuff. Lots of volvo aand saab
