1. Original Equipment (OEM) fuel injectors by Fiveomotorsport
OEM refers to the
company that originally manufactured the product. When referring to
automotive parts (in this case fuel injectors), OEM designates a
replacement part made by the manufacturer of the original part. In this
usage, OEM means "original equipment from manufacturer". Some of the
more common manufacturers of fuel injectors that we carry are Bosch, Siemens, Deka,
Continental, Lucas, Japanese Electronics Corp. (JECS), and Denso. When
replacing your OE fuel injectors this means replacing them with the
exact same parts from the original manufacturer that were in the car
when it rolled off the lot in it's brand new condition.
Fiveomotorsport
offers many original equipment OE fuel injectors in both new and remanufactured
condition. In many cases because of limited supply only remanufactured injectors
are available to the customer. Often times the original manufacturer
will stop production on parts for older model cars; therefore,
installing a remanufactured fuel injector is the only option--until now
(see cross-referenced fuel injectors below). In any case, we do stock
many new and remanufactured OE fuel injectors that perform to original
OEM specifications, and every fuel injector we sell is backed by our
incredible 3-year warranty!
2. OEM vs Fiveomotorsport cross-referenced, stock replacement injectors
Cross
referencing is the procedure of carefully selecting alternate fuel
injectors to replace your original equipment (OE) injectors--the
injectors that came with your vehicle. By studying the specifications
and analyzing the fit and function of the thousands of available fuel
injectors in our inventory, we can almost always find a brand-new,
direct replacement injector that will mimic your stock injector in every
way. The flow rate will match, the internal coil resistance will
match, the spray pattern and fuel delivery will be the same, or in many
cases will improve when using a brand-new, cross-referenced stock
replacement in place of an OE injector. Your vehicle's engine control
unit (ECU) wil never know the difference and will have no trouble with
tuning and running the new-generation fuel injectors. Fiveomotorsport is a leader
in fuel injection solutions for older and newer model vehicles, and we
have developed many brand new fuel injectors to replace many of the
outdated and discontinued injectors that are no longer available.
We
mention the improved quality of the spray pattern in the newer
generation fuel injectors because this will help atomize the fuel more
effectively which will lead to better throttle response, increased fuel
efficiency and gas mileage, and better overall engine performance. As
mentioned previously many OE fuel injectors are now out of production
which may seem like a bad thing, but can also be looked at in a positive
way. Fuel injection technology has changed over the course of the past
30 years leaving some of the older parts feeling like antiquated and
obsolete technology from days gone by. In almost every situation we can
provide an alternative, improved technology, newer generation,
brand-name injector to replace the relics of the past. In some cases
there is no current replacement so for these we offer new or
remanufactured OE injectors. But, if the option is there for brand-new, increased performance engine parts, our recommendation is to go with the
more efficient, cross-referenced fuel injectors.
