I am looking for some feedback on aftermarket injectors, around the 550cc range.My options are Sard(denso) or Nismo (tomei), right? The sards have a longer body and so they use a spacer, they also have different wire plugs. The nismo ones are a DIRECT bolt in, but they are usually considerably more expensive.

Does anyone have any opinions on which they prefer in terms of reliability, performance, price, etc?

I dont mind switching wire plugs to run the Sards, but I am not going to do it if they are garbage.

I guess I could do a search, but I am too lazy right now.thanks in advance for your replies.

reguardless of who the actual manufacturer is. Its still made for that specific motor/chassis. I just know that I would like the nismo ones more due to the fitment factor. Its kinda hard to explain my opinion on the issue but right now thats the best way I can.

I agree with you. If i was going to get the sards, then i would have to make sure I got the plugs, crimp on the terminals(and I dont have the roght crimping tool) for the plugs and do a bunch of other work to get them installed.

I am just going to go with the Nismo ones, got a good price and they are a 'DIRECT' bolt in, no fuss no muss.
