Fuel injector choice

I ended up opting for the ID1050x injectors. They are on special order over in the UK to get hold of them but hopefully have them within a month or so. I have only read good things about them so far and apparently they have better lower pulse width performance than ID1000's which is a bonus.

I would of brought direct from the US but if things did go sour for whatever reason being a few 1000 miles from the vendor can make things difficult to resolve. Plus there is also the issue of exchange rate and the fact that import tax can be a massive pain.
I have got them from a company called TarmacSportz in the UK and they have always been good to me in the past with accurate estimations in terms of delivery times. I'm not in a massive rush but it will be nice to get the car mapped up so that i can turn the idle down a substantial amount. Its funny how such a small issue like idle speed can piss you off but its been getting on my nerves for 12 months now.
HatrickStu i assume you work for ID. What persuaded me to go with your injectors was the speed academy video of your production facility, it was good to see a no bullshit explanation of what you do and that gave me confidence in your products.

Right the box showed up today and the injectors were duly fitted.
The Deatschwerks 800cc were duly removed and the various spacers and rubber washers fitted into the inlet manifold. I was confused for a while about how the injectors actually seal on the inlet manifold. There is an O-ring fitted to the injectors but i know with the ID1000 people had previously used the stock cushions as well as the ID o-ring. Anyway i binned the OEM cushions and all the fuel rail spacers and pushed the injectors into the rail and fitted them to the inlet manifold. As i tightened the whole lot down the injectors seated up nicely against the inlet manifold holes. Started the car up and no leaks.
I was tempted to use the AEM wizard to re calibrate the injectors but i couldn't be arsed as it assumed alot that both types of injector will have a linear flow. I just trimmed the fuel back at idle and made a guess at how much to remove from the whole map. I got pretty close within 5% and got the map to where i was happy with it.
Initial impressions of the injectors is that they are great at low pulse widths so i can now idle at 1000rpm with a perfect 14.7 AFR with only 1.4ms of pulse width. When easing the throttle down before sometimes the car would buck and hesitate. I had tried to tune this out time and time again with no results but as soon as i fitted the ID1050X the transition on light throttles were 10x smoother. Car feels very quick tonight but not sure if thats just me thinking its quick or whether it is actually quicker. It pulls nice and smooth throughout the rev range.
Hatrickstu : Very impressed with the injectors and their performance
