Injectors
Hi, I read somewhere that clio 172 injectors fit onto a vts engine. Is this the whole rail that fits? Or you put the injectors into a vts rail or what? Thanks in advance for any help

Can you elaborate? Clio injectors into vts rail? My car may have set itself on fire earlier and melted the fuel rail so im kind of hoping its the clio rail... Never good

because you have no need for the clio injectors at all.

But you can't do that they flow far too much fuel to run on a standard engine. You will end up over fueling like crazy and end up with bore wash.

Are you planning 170+ Hp then? As Bedford says the clio ones will over fuel horribly.

You will need to saxo fuel rail, unless you remap you will be causing crazy bore wash. Possibly even make less lower than standard as you are using the same pressure with larger injectors.
So here's what you need to do.
Buy a saxo fuel rail, funnily enough I have a couple of spare vts ones.
If you wish to upgrade you are much better off increasing the fuel pressure rather than the injectors, but to do so you will need to ultrasonically clean them, otherwise the imbalance will be amplified.
And still need a remap.
Really worth it with the mods you have? No.
