eBay Fuel Injectors
So currently im trying to diagnose a hot start issue and came across some injectors on eBay, anyways I have another thread on it and I dont want to post the same stuff again.
My question is are these injectors on eBay the exact same as the OEM injectors (part #06164-PCX-010)
https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Pcs-OEM-F...true#vi-ilComp
This just seems to good to be true given a set of 4 new injectors is about $400 and these are $40

They look identical except for the fuel filter being black, think the stock ones are yellow, at least mine are.
Seems to be a reproduction part so probably not the same as what you would get from a dealer but maybe worth a try.
Or maybe try to get a good condition used set instead.

My guess is that these are refurbs. Or bought in and shipped from China. I just got a single injector off Ebay as well, but from a seller that seems to be US based and it was $54.99 for one. Keihin Injectors

So after doing some more research I have found it is NOT a good idea to go with injectors off eBay or to buy a single injector. I would highly recommend reading the article below for some more insight as to why. It is unlikely to get a single injector that matches the static and dynamic flow of the OE 3 injectors that you have.
Flow Matching Injectors
I live 25 minutes away from Deatschwerks (specializes in fuel systems) and initially had my original set of injectors cleaned there. They found that one injector was consistently out-flowing the other 3, which is why I was wanting to replace only one. Basically I bought one off eBay that was a refurb Keihin injector that matched the OE part number. I took my set back to Deatschwerks and had them flow tested again and the eBay injector was apparently meant for a CRV or some other Honda vehicle. It was severely underperforming. So buyer beware with eBay injectors.

I run the following 1000cc injectors that I got off ebay and I haven't had any issues: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HONDA-S...KjaY:rk:3:pf:0
I have also run injectors off ebay on my Subarus and DSMs. As long as you get a data sheet with your injectors that show the flow rate, and the rates are consistent then you should fine.
Its good practice to replace injectors as a set and not just injector at a time.
