Sometimes added to increase fuel quantity injected.

My old Sierra Sapphire after visiting Turbo Technics had a 5th injector fitted into the inlet manifold before the throttle body.

Ah the good old 5th injector, commonplace in the days of the old RS tuning!

A useless bit of kit that does nothing on a road car

So there is nothing that anyone can do to use this 5th injector??
I know technically there isn`t any point, but having something on a car that does nowt is daft imho.

It was fitted to the RA for homologation purposes in world rally.

You could use it for water injection or as a Nitrous Fogger Nozzle
