Rochester or Bosch injectors?

Just looking for info, until recently I did not know GM used more than one brand of injector.

Thanks 5speedz34

I did not know that Bosch invented fuel injection.

 

I need to find articles on port fuel injectors.

 

Put together a make shift flow tester yesterday using mineral spirits.

 

All 6 Bosch L36 injectors flowed 240 ml. per minuet and 3 of the Rochesters did the same.

The other 3 R. injectors were short by about 10 ml.

 

Wish I could find a company that would sell me 6 Bosch filter baskets and 6 plastic nozzles.

I wouldn't buy anything with the Bosch name on it. Car parts or tools. Bad quality IMO

The reason I will probably go back with Bosch fuel rail and injectors is that the 98-99 fuel regulator recall was on Rochester only. The Bosch fuel regulator appears to all stainless steel construction.

 

Who knows I might go with a Bosch fuel rail and Rochester injectors?

 

Now if I can just find a L36 Bosch fuel rail that is not covered in white corrosion.

Ron, take some of the posts above with a grain of salt. The Bosch injectors are very reliable. They're one product that Bosch does right(a lot of the others aren't as bad as some people make them out to be either). I honestly don't remember ever seeing a "bad" Bosch/Ford(Bosch makes Ford's injectors). Rochester's are "alright" as well, but I would trust Bosch over them(due to all the Rochester multec failures I've seen). Last year I replaced my badly leaking Multecs in my TGP with some Ford/Bosch injectors.
