And if you had a choice of any, you would go with HKS?

I honestly don't know. Like i said my builder warrantied his work on my car with the DW's, so i have no issues with them. I guess you could claim "baller" status with the HKS

It's only a head ache if you let it be. I just brushed it off, and looked for the direction in which I was going to take my next step. Not a bad road, but if I had to do it again, I would build the block first, before adding the turbo.

Do you have a site for the DW's? I can't find them. Not looking for status, just high quality.

Are Z injectors top or side feeds?

DW injectors have mixed reviews in the 240 community. Mostly because they are bored and reflowed. I know quite a bit of people running them without problems, but there are some people who swear against them.

Either Nismo, Tomei, or Sard are all good brands along with HKS of course. Nismo would be what I would go with but I'm not sure if they make injectors for the Z.



Sard injectors here
