Default New Injectors or Remans?

I'm looking into injector upgrades to around 85hp. Do I go with modified remanufactured or shell the beans for new? It's about a $200 difference from what I've found. Thanks!

I guess it all depends who remaned them, and how. Personally I would go with new. "The right part for the right application". Obviously the remans were not the right part, and someone tried to make them that way.

Thanks! Maybe wrong terminology. I'm thinking if the company requires cores, they're remanufacturing performance nozzles from cores. Which brands are good?

I'm running Fireball 65's right now, but have a bag of Big Dawg 150's beside me waiting to go in. I wouldn't buy a remanufactured nozzle, but would buy a reman injector with NEW nozzles. Usually the core is for the injector body, usually.

Okay. What I'm looking at is new Industrials or BDs. Substantial price difference between the two. Can't figure why. Thought you might be able to shed light. Upgrades to diesels are new to me. Thanks.

BD's and Jammers are similar quality, low. Industrial Injection are better quality. Time is money, right? The more time invested in making a smooth flowing nozzle, the more it costs.
Check out Diesel Dawgs, and talk to Luke about what he has. I am very, very happy with the nozzles I got from him. If I'm not mistaken, his full body injectors are flow and pop tested to match.

Big Dawg Injectors are built using only Bosch rebuilt injector bodies.

Thanks again. Do yall think a set of 100s would work for my application? Ilike the price from Diesel Dawgs. I'm not planning on a turbo upgrade. Ha! At least not anytime soon.
