TLF Performance Injectors (Thumbs way way down)
Normally I don't care to leave feedback but the quality of the product is horrible and the sellers attitude needs some serious adjustment.

I bought a set of 600cc sidefeed injectors from TLF performance on ebay to use on my VET build. Injectors seen here. After talking to the tech at JWT the mentioned that they would need to be flow tested despite having a flow sheet to go with them. I agreed and was going to ship them with my ECU. While I was packing them up to be flow tested I decided to look for myself and see the spray pattern and was curious about the miscolor of two of them. I started doing some research online and found more than a fair share of forums found issues with these injectors. This stuff was pale in comparison to the fact I found out the injector type Jecs has never made 600cc injectors.

I started digging even more into just the sale itself. I noticed the flow sheet they sent me was not the one listed in the add. The add was color and the sheet I got was black and white. I looked at the date and noticed it was dated the same date the injectors were shipped. I find this strange considering I purchased them the day prior and they had been for sale a few days earlier. After noticing all of these problems I contacted the seller and listed all of the issues I noticed and asked for an address to ship them back.

They replied with an address and this awesome comment:
First all of our flow sheets are printed the minute they come off of the flow machine. Our flow sheets are of the set you have. Second all of our fuel Injectors come from Jecs and Nissan they are flow tested and then they are stripped and clean. All of our fuel Injectors are Remanufactured here in the USA not like most company's where they are reman in China. Thanks

Eventually paypal agreed with me and issued a refund after the injectors arrived at the sellers address.

Tracking info notice the date it shipped


So called flow sheet: Dated the same day as shipping



Here is what I found on the nozzles:

This was the worst one with all the holes larger than any other injector. Sorry this didn't turn out too well


The holes were touching on this one.


The top hole on this injector had a metal shaving


A couple of side by side comparisons:





Two were brown on the tops and two were red. I noticed the injectors were a different series




I can't remember the exact name of this part on the injector but notice how it was all chewed up.



My advice is to stay away from these garbage injectors and avoid TLF Performance. If you go with something like this you will more than likely have longevity issues in your setup.

There is thread somewhere on here about these, and also fake venom injectors on ebay. I got a set from tlf and immediately sent them back, dude sent me "new" injectors in small lunchbagd in a box. The injector flow chart had the same exact numbers for 4 injectors.

Yeah I can't believe they are passing off this product to people.

I found out they are ripping off Venom as well in my research. I am glad I got smart and went with some Tomei 740cc injectors.
