BIGGER is BETTER!!! A FAQ on the Bosch 550cc injectors for R53

^^

 

What has been left out here is that these injectors were from a crap can car with those injectors already installed. Dirty injectors that didn't even have the correct o rings on them, actually having a mixed bag of o rings, clear evidence that they had been mucked around with and a type of injector that has been sold by several vendors at one time or another... The chart above does not reflect the correct flow chart for the Seimens 450 injector sold by RMW; Seimens also being the manufacturer of the OEM Mini Cooper injectors..

 

You make it sound like his vendor was RMW, which in fact by is own words it was not. The original source of those, at least second hand injectors has never been established.

One fact that was established is that RMW had in no way any envolvement with his car period. RMW neither sold anything to the owner, RMW never advised the owner and RMW never had anything to do with the tune on the car. I believe that you would be well aware of who tuned the car before it burnt a piston

Fact: RMW/Jan had absolutely nothing to do with the car in question.

If he wants answers to what actually happened to his car I would suggest that he direct his questions to the person who sold him the car in the first place and to those that actually had worked on and had been envolved with his car leading up to his problems.... Not a vendor that had nothing to do with it.

PS: I would also suggest that you sell your products (you have every right to) on their own merits and not whilst attempting to stand on another vendor in the process.. 2 cents

 

I would recommend that anyone interested read the entire thread before making any judgement. The thread is in MINITorque and can be found at update for my RMW 450cc injectors

Please note that MINITorque does allow for off color language, you have been warned.

 

You are missing the whole point here. It's not about Jan or RMW, it's about the injectors that are used of his liking which are not 440cc or 450cc no matter where the injector comes from. Doesn't matter if customer "A" buy the injector from vendor "B" and customer "B" buy from vendor "A" the bottom line is, that injector part #, or even scratched off or not. They are the same from vendor "A" and "B" which are advertise as 440cc or 450cc which have been flow tested showing 800cc.

You are correct, vendor "A" has nothing to do with customer "B" who bought these injectors from vendor "B" Bottom line is, vendor "A" and "B" are selling a product that are false.

 

This is not fair. Jan doesn't have a chance to respond to this. I'd much prefer that all vendors sell on their own merits and not point fingers at others. It makes you all look bad when you do so.

 

The fact is that how and when and what condition those injectors were in and the results from their test do not match the specs of the 450 Seimens injectors that Jan sells...

Again what actually happened to the car in question is not being talked about...

Why wasn't the performance of those injectors not noted when the car was tuned, much less the many other problems it had, noted and dealt with??

 

Exactly and thank you!

 

BS

If they flowed 800, why would we need your all encompassing 550s? Lol

 

On and On..... If this was about Jan in the beginning, he nor his Place have not responded anywhere on the issues.. not here on MA or overseas where a similar question was poised. ( since over a month ago)

I think all the facts have been presented.. with a lot of literature and testimonies.. SOOOoo... now it seems to be a 'he said .. he said' thingy, yes??
Customers are now aware, of course they will decide accordingly from the thread...

NEXT????

Listen man, we get bash all the time for no reason on all forums. Sometimes we don't say a word back. Look at MiniTorque, man they were having a field day over there. Mynes name was in every other word from this vendor. I could google mynes and it would have directed me to that thread over on Minitorque first even before our own Mynes forum. So enough was enough and we posted some facts and no allegations and now that forum thread is quite. If we didn't say anything at all, it would have kept going on and on. And minimark you speak more for RMW than Jan himself, but try to get out of it when the heat comes on and act like we started it over there on Minitorque. Anyone can plainly see the thread is over 30 pages with me or Mike... not even a single post in it until towards the end when we actually came in to speak up and then you guys point the finger we are making another vendor look bad, but it was okay from the other vendor to make us look bad in the first 30 pages. Getting really sick of it. It would be nice for you and RMW to stay out of our posts, and I am sure you have never seen a post from us in RMW section or posts talking about his product. I agree with Nathan to sell under your own merits. I am sorry I am not going let anyone slander my business under false allegations from him or customers who never did business with us at all. I am a man first, then I am a business owner (vendor).

 

BS

Leave references to Jan/RMW and their products and services, including all the successes on and off the track IE: NASA National Championship, Podium finishes and track records, etc out of your threads and as always you will not hear a peep from me on your threads.....

 

Yes, the 440's I had from Jan did have the part number removed. Then again I know that they came to him that way from his source at the time. Everyone was trying to protect themselves from others learning their sources. I can understand that. I didn't feel that Jan was trying to pull the wool over my eyes or I would not have dealt with him. I know that ya'll had some issues when trying to scale them properly when working on my car so I made the swap at the time.

Now if we want to get fully into all this I question if the issues were the injectors or if the engine issues that were found soon after were the real issue. I've never been 100% sure about this so never wanted to really post about since there was nothing definitive.

I'm having issues again, what the cause is I am not sure of yet. Between launching a new site, dealing with family issues and some other big changes about to happen I've not had the time to diagnose. But when the engine is cold or when driving at a steady throttle at 4K rpm or less there is a stumble. Now and then there is a misfire in cylinder 2 code. The exhaust smells of unburnt fuel and I can smell fuel in the oil. I plan on dealing with this at the next MM.org DIY Day on Jan 29.

So all is not rosy here from any of the tunes I've had. Is it the tune or some other factor. I'm not sure at this point but I wanted to wait and see whats going on before writing about it all. Ya'll have forced my hand here as now I want to show that no matter who one uses there can be issues.
