andrewp1989 1 Report post Posted August 1, 2007 I own a 1989 Esprit Turbo (non-chargecooled). After a long search for an intermittent fuel leak it was discovered that one of the Lotus-fitted fuel injectors was split. The injector has "0078-5235364" written on it. The split extends 70% around the top of the plastic-bodied injector and is nearly horizontal. Strange. Has anyone else had the issue of a split fuel injector? I imagine more than a few cars have burnt if this problem exists elsewhere. No one I have spoken to seems to be able to provide a reason for a split injector like mine. Also does anyone reccomend a suitable replacement injector . . . ideally a set of 4 of them? Many thanks. AP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artie 6 1 Vehicles Report post Posted August 1, 2007 Andrew, I've never heard of the injector splitting, but my suspicion is that the car sat for a long period of time or the engine was run hot a few times and the heat was transferred to the plastic body of the injector. I'd suggest a set of injectors from WC engineering.com! Very good and easy to install. They are also cheaper than the Lotus parts.

Vulcan Grey 235 1 Vehicles Report post Posted August 1, 2007 I replaced mine with BOSCH 36lb/hr (370cc/min) LOW IMPEDANCE injectors. I bought mine for ~$46 each from http://www.fiveomotorsport.com/Injector_SetsMODS.asp Bosch/Ford E5ZE 4/Set $249.50 These E5ZE Bosch injectors are brand new and flow-matched to within 0.5% Guaranteed! These are the correct size and type for the primary injectors on all GMP4 DELCO injected Lotus Esprit 89 & 89 SE-95 S4s.
