    Anyone have a matched set of top feed injectors that they could help me out with? :). Doesn't have to be anything especially big, 650cc or larger would be fine.

    Thanks a bunch, in advance!

    How about 560cc dark blue ones from an 07 wrx? You can always get them modified to flow somewhere around 800cc.

    I also have a stock set of TF injectors out of my '07 STi. As Nhibbs said, I believe they flow around 560cc, but could be modded. Let me know if you're interested.

    Thanks guys, I might be able to use the OEM STI ones for a while anyway - @joebush44, I'll let you know.

    Nhibbs, it depends what you mean by 'modified' - I'm pretty much sketched out by the way that people (and some vendors) decap the stockers to increase flow, the flow pattern and atomization that you get from this mod is terrible... Don't want to go that way : )

    So the back story is that I got a good deal on a matched used set of DW650's from a board member, with the understanding that one of them might be bad. Sent them to RavenWorks for a thorough cleaning and flow testing, and indeed the one injector is flowing 1/2 what it should. I talked to DW and it's going to cost me ~$140 for them to find/match a replacement injector, so it's getting more expensive to get this set working...

    That's why I thought I'd see if anyone on the board had a set of 650+ injectors for sale :D

    Im pretty sure those DW650s are just decapped light blue stock topfeeds as well...
    Normal light blue's flow 420cc and without the cap they flow about 50% more which gives you the 650cc.
    Dark blues are 560cc and without the cap with 50% more flow comes to ~850cc

    This is a port injected subaru engine, not a fancy DI engine. The fuel sprays and pools onto the valves anyway, I'm not convinced the modded stock injectors are "bad" as long as they are flow tested and are pretty close to matched.

    Hey Nhibbs, just FYI this is what I've dug up about the DW injectors, they're not just decapped stockers:

    stock light blue on right, DIY decapped on left - note size of fully exposed injector disc vs...

    DW650, modified light blues - there's still a spindle cap, just with larger opening than stock:

    DW750, again light blue but with different style spindle cap:

    DW850, modified dark blues:

    I have DW850s in mine that I was thinking about selling so I can upgrade to 1000cc.
    How soon are you needing these injectors?

    Next week? Your car's going to be on blocks for a while anyway ;) Send me a PM if you want to sell, but it would probably be cheaper for me to replace the one bad one I have - unless you're going to give me a good deal! :D

    I have modded 3 sets of stockers and they all flow about 920 according to Ravenworks.
