Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Who sells ExtrudeHoned injectors?

[cpermd]

Seems like I have heard about someone who sells stock injectors that have been opened up.

Can someone point me in the right direction or should I send mine to ExtrudeHone?

TIA

I do custom injectors but not extrude honed. I use the EDM'D process.

JR, could you explain "EDM" without giving away too many trade secrets?

Just the person I was looking for a couple years ago. This subject came up a couple times but no one really knew much about it. I read some about EDM and was impressed with it, sounded like you could open up the holes more precisely than EH. Basically laser-cut, right?

I just found EDM = Electrical Discharge Machining. No lasers involved.



Heres an interesting link

JR,

What precision and what cost for 6 stock injectors opened to DD3 size?

[Bob Wagner]

PM me the info too please

 

[rspinks]

PM me too if you don't mind, I have 6 stock ETH injectors that came with undersized holes.

Me Too! Me Too! PM Me Too! . My inectors also came factory undersized!

 

[J.R. Adkins]

Thanks for the great links Vaughn!

 

[WadePatton]

SOMEbody PM me too!

JR's box was full and then he sent a PM to me and MY box was full, and now he's too busy or something.



Can somebody who has information on JRA injector send me a copy?



Thanks.

Trying to find a comparison of the two processes, but no luck. Anyone with extreme technical experience care to chime in? Well, okay anybody who has been in the room with both EDM and EH injectors counts (not necessarily at the same time). I suspect it will take serious equipment and many hours of research to find any shortcomings in either of these injector enhancing applications. But then IS there a difference worth noticing?



Here's a real stretch--anybody run both types of injectors of the same power level on similar trucks?

Wade give me a call 317-281-3130.

Okie Dokie, now I've talked to J. R. We discussed EDM and EH and 7-hole and 14-hole SHOWERHEADS



Basically the EH cuts by mechanical abrasion (micro-blasting is how I think of it) and EDM cuts electrically (electric micro-torch maybe). The EDM _may_ enhance atomization of fuel by retaining sharper angles, but I have no proof of that. Pay your money and take your chances. Anyway I never heard of anybody with 100+ HP injectors walking around crying about it.



So like the feller in the chopper with the machine gun said, "GET SOME!!!"
