The AU series 1 V8's did come with either orange 19lb injectors or blue 24lb injectors, though there does not appear to be any pattern to what they ended up in. I have heard of XR8s with the orange 19lb'ers, and Fairmonts with 24lb'ers.
It would seem as though there was just some old stock left, so injectors on series 1 AU V8's are just luck of the draw...

Hi all
I have just changed the engine in my 99 fairlane ghia, which had the blue injectors, and the new engine has the orange injectors (out of a fairmont ghia). Other than that, they look exactly the same.
Is there any real bennefit from changing over to the blue injectors as in the post above, to the 5lb bigger option? The car is also on LPG.
I have also been reading about the 175/185kw topic and am wondering if i had a 185kw, and now have a 175kw?
Thanks for any advice
Brad
