That's not good news I've been waiting for mine to arrive so the shop could finish the build on my car that would just make the wait time even worse

Jeebus, please keep us informed of your plans with the ID1700s!! I made 1200rwhp in my TT GT500 with the ID1000s...if there is a need for 1700s...:surprise:

The recall info is quoted below.

Injector Dynamics ID1700 – Important Notice
March 4, 2016
Since the release of the ID1700 in June of 2015, 36 parts have failed in service. The failure mode is the same on all 36 pieces. The injector will click as if it is functioning correctly, but no fuel will pass through.
The cause of the failure is a stress riser created during the machining process. The stress riser exists on a small percentage of parts, and these parts tend to fail fairly quickly.
The current failure rate is 0.82%
The machining process has been revised, and the new version has been endurance tested to the equivalent of 65,000 miles with no failures or appreciable change in operating characteristics.
This new version will be available starting March 11, 2016.
There are several thousand of the original design parts in the field. While 99+% are running fine, there is a chance of failure, which is approximately 1% based on our current data.
If you, or your customer has a failure, the complete set will be replaced with the new design.
Supply of the new design is still limited, and delays are possible, but all defective parts will be replaced as quickly as possible.
As most of you know, Injector Dynamics worked with Bosch Motorsport to develop the ID1700, as well as the ID1300, and the upcoming ID1050X. While it may not be relevant to your race car, it is important to me personally to note that the failed parts, and the machining process that causes those failures originates at the Injector Dynamics facility, NOT at the Bosch factory.
I make this point because I value the Bosch Motorsport name, and the level of excellence that it represents, and I would not want to tarnish their impeccable reputation.
As for Injector Dynamics, it is hopefully clear that we are a company who always has, and always will stand behind our product.
Thank you.

E85 is going raise the fuel consumption rate by close to 50% over pump gas. Pretty sure that's his goal.

 

We are in the process of a complete engine build with a kb 4.2 and triple return style fuel system for e85 the 1700 are possible overkill but better to be safe than sorry.

Do you know if the ID1300s are affected by this recall?

 

There was no mention of any problems with the 1300 series.

 

No problems with the ID1300s

 

From the feedback I got today the 1700's I had ordered are shipping out tomorrow so they must have gotten some stock finally.

Yes I got an email on the 11th indicating that they received the replacement injectors in inventory. So a bunch of them are moving at the moment to fill back orders and to replace previous customers injectors
