I've been doing research on an injector upgrade. Mainly because I've got the top end apart and to my knowledge, it's still running factory injectors. I figure now would be a good time to make the swap as I go back together with it.

My understanding is that the 784's are a perfect swap for the 2001's?

I guess my other question is where to buy from? I see a lot of them on Ebay, but they seem to come in a bunch of different colors, and from a bunch of different sellers obviously.

Then there are also other vendors like precision auto injectors.

It seems that on Ebay you can get a set of 6 for $100 or less.

Just wanting to understand the differences in all of these variants?

Thanks

 

I have the 784's in my 99 and they are an improvement over the stock injectors.


I bought mine from a longtime member here on the board "programbo" he sells them rebuilt and ultrasonic cleaned look very nice when I received mine. He is very reasonable in price also, don't think you will be disappointed.

 

fWIW, I bought mine off eBay. First two weeks were great. Then one completely crapped out on me. Try to buy from someone who tests or guarantees their product.

 

I went a different route with my '00. There is a place called Marren Injectors. They are in CT. They are local to me. I bought 6 brand new 4 hole EV6/USCAR injectors. Pricey. $320 out the door. I put them in at the advice of an engine builder I know, tops in their field, who owns an '00 XJ too. I know that you can get them off eBay and whatnot cheaper but I figured if I had a problem I would have to jump through hoops to resolve it. So I justified the expense for the same reason that CR-Snow pointed out. If I ever have a problem I just make a 15 minute trip. Another reason I did it was that new stock injectors, my price at the auto parts store I work at, would have been about $225. So I figured for about $95 more might as well upgrade. I do that with a lot of stuff. I was having the window lock problem in my XJ. Just replaced the control unit. Even at my cost I paid about $20 more then for what I could have bought it on the internet for. Thing is if I every have a problem I really do not have a problem. With the exception of doing the job twice. You buy it on the internet what do you do if you have a problem? Or accidentally order the wrong part? Somethings are just not worth it.

 

I have never saw a single problem with the vendor I posted on and if there was an issue, I bet he would take care of it he has been doing injectors for quite some time here.

 

yes 784's will work. I purchased mine on here in the for sale section for $80. You do not need to unhook the fuel line from the rail, but it helps. takes about 30 minutes taking your time.

 

"programbo"

 

Bought mine from him...two years as a DD and it still runs great.

 

make sure to mark the pigtails 1.2.3 etc. dont know about mileage but mine runs alot smoother with the 784's dropped my rpm a little when cruising
