Hey guys,
I've been working on my dad's old 97 cruiser. Its a real awesome vehicle but at 265Kish it needed a bit of work to get back in good shape.
After having to pull the injectors due to a CEL diagnosis, I found one needed replacing. Rather than pay $220 for a new OEM from dealership, I decided to buy some "upgraded" remanufactured set of injectors on ebay. The seller seems fairly reputable, and injectors came with lifetime warranty. They are apparently OEM Denso injectors that they modified.

Wanted to know what you guys think: was I stupid in ordering these or is it worth giving a shot?
- at the milage, if one injector is bad, its possible other are getting there too. (although when i cleaned/pressurized them with carb cleaner and tested, they all seemed good)
- i do believe that the additional holes might actually atomize the fuel better but i'm also dubious on this point, in that, why would denso not just do this to begin with? if in fact its only benefit
I've read through some of the older threads on this subject and opinions seemed mixed. I'll probably still be keeping around my old set of injectors, and might mail them in somewhere to be cleaned/inspected just in case I need them.
