I bought 2 from an Ebay seller in Germany, I know another bloke in Perth that picked one up from the same seller. Last time I contacted him he had none left.
I can't use a Croma manifold on my 131, the plenum sits about 10mm from the strut tower. I ended up getting a Tempra manifold, the runners curve up instead of straight, which also gives me more room underneath for a supercharger. An 8v integrale manifold curves up as well, but the throttlebody angles in toward the motor fouling on the camwheel.

I actually got 3 from him, not 2. The first 1 was 90Euro I think, he put the price up to 100Euro after that, but I offered 90 each for 2 more and he agreed. They're obviously still selling as he puts the price up.

Does anybody know the flow rate of the Croma injector?

Thanks for the injector info Steve. Horsepower estimates based on the 19.28 lbs/hr / 202.6cc min @ 3 bar give about 123.4 hp using the calculator on the WitchHunter web site http://www.witchhunter.com/injectorcalc1.php4 with .5 BSFC and max 80% duty cycle.

Any news?

Sounds like the injectors in the Croma are too small for a projected 165HP engine (at the wheels). What injectors will fit and have the same connector? Or where can a guy find injector info?

Thanks!
