can we please make this the front page thread when teenbmxer finally says that he couldn't get it to run again until he put new injectors in? but at any rate, good luck getting it going. and i'd like to say that it's really not cool to tell people that they are wrong and stupid until you can prove it. then have at it!

im putting the other injectors in. i changed the hoses on my na injectors cause the original one burst. i just have to get them cleaned. as for plugs i will get ngk soon but the autolite will have to work for like 2 weeks. or so. as for ngk i know those are pretty good, i ran them in my 86 nissan 200sx. so should i get the iridium ngk's? oh and i changed my mind about the turb injectors after some looking up and asking about cylinder wall washing..not good. but at least i have my turbo injectors for when i turbo it.

judgling from whats left of the factory paint its probally best he rattle canned it, take care of that battery tray before it eats out the passenger side floor pan, and clean the rest of the engine bay while your at it, you'll be glad you did

Yes, you should use NGK... I don't know if iridium ngk's would be good for a Z or not, but my Banshee love em... and glad to hear you are putting the N/A back in...

the engine bay wouldn't look so bad if it weren't for that bright red. It throws everything off. You get nice bright red and then...dirt.

oh i forgot to say, the best spark plugs i used in my cars were NGK v power...basicly NGK's with a little slot cut in them, then for some reason my dad put platnums in and i was like "what the hell this is my car" and they fouled and of course he threw my v-powers away because he thought they were bad.

to this day i dont know what the hell he was thinking, mabe he thought the plugs were bad but i was talking to him about the wires zappin the **** out of you before this happened.

V power... Split Fire, four tips... eight tips... Those are all gimmicks made just for people who don't understand how spark plugs work.

It doesn't matter how many tips the plug has, spark can only jump from one point to one other point at a time. The funniest part, SPLIT FIRE themselves even show that on their product picture:
