Default New Injectors Problem Misfire

Just Wondering what people think about this situation I am experiencing:

So After fighting with Misfire on my car for few months I have narrowed down to Injectors causing the problem... Swapped in My friends OEM Injectors and car ran immediately perfect without any codes So I decided to order 4 brand new injectors of Ballade the moment I swapped them in, car hesitated and would work fine* for a day or two but suddenly stop working and misfire start again. Have tested it many times going back and forward between my friends injectors and the new ones... Problem happens every time...
Emailed Ballade with enough deviance / recordings of the issue I am experiencing, but I am just being pushed away by them being told that it could be due to my compression,valves,etc etc etc...
But Now just think about it ! here is the main point...
Why does the car Run perfect for few thousand of Km without a single misfire code on my friends injectors and the moment I swap in the new ones the car is Acting up

Anyone had similar issue?

A bet those new injectors aren't genuine Honda ones, typical Ballade fashion selling knock off parts at marked up pricing.

yeah me and my buddy we where thinking the same and I asked them directly if they sold.me fake ones cuz they didn't come in Honda packaging...

I tried what they told.me to smack them but nothing helped... Plus the thing is that they work and suddenly they stop and then they fix themselves and again they stop constant cycle ...

Maybe just save a lot of heartache and buy new injectors directly from a Honda parts dealer?

Honda quoted me 1350 euro for 4 injectors here in Ireland!!! If I was printing my money I would
That's the only reason why I bought of ballade... Cuz on thier website it looked like a deal of the century !

Look "Keihin made in Japan" injectors one set for $44 with free worldwide shipping https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33053437558.html
Unless you get the parts in an original Honda packaging there is a big possibility it will be different, sometimes it might not matter much sometimes it does.
I would send your original injectors out for a professional cleaning and flow test, or look for a good used set somewhere more local.

Did you follow Balade's priming instructions that was in their email? How did it turn out?

I've installed injectors dozens of times without any ever sticking and never doing anything different. I wonder if their injectors are the wrong size or have a poor spray pattern, maybe refurbished injectors rather than new.
