Sure, and maybe J.R. take better care of YOU when the injector loses a tip and melts the engine than a poor KYTDR fella.

I know nothing of J.R. and have to respect the work he's done that so many people like. His turbos are especially well known.

But I would be doing a disservice to the DTR reader to not mention how he has had his injectors fail catastophically.

Do a search for "caveat emptor" on my name, and read the linked KYDTR thread.

thanks for the info. Hohn. Honesty can make a huge difference in somebody's pocketbook. I think I have a deal on some Mach 1.5's..

Are you sure thats the whole story?

I called J.R. nearly a year ago and talked to him about a set of big injectors and he informed me that ALL of his injectors were for OFF-ROAD use only and had a waver for me to sign. I purchased a set with the intentions of using them for dyno competitions only and have used them for just that. There is always two sides of the story.

The only people who know the WHOLE story are J.R. and the other person involved.

I'd suggest you contact them each and give them a chance to give their side of the story.

From what I can tell, the only FACTS I'm certain of are:
1) The injector tips failed after J.R. modified them, and
2) the customer was not happy with how the problem was remedied or not remedied


NOw, obviously we can't take the above situation to mean that J.R. makes junk or that his injectors will always fail-- that's simply not true. Lots of fellas running J.R. sticks and making good power with them..

But it's certainly reason to give a person pause. Injector failures aren't common (at least on a non-HPCR truck), so when it happens, it makes headlines. So I'd say that the drama that played out is an important piece to consider, but it's certainly NOT the whole story.....
