Default found a site that has cheap CPI replacements

i bought my 95 knowing i would need to replace my cpi and have been looking to try to find a deal online. the cheapest place i have found a new one is from www.getgmparts.com for $257.07. i came across a site that has reman cpis (2 year 24,000 mile warranty) for $189.95 with free ups next day air shipping. just thought id let anyone know that needs to replace a CPI for cheap. the site is www.fuelinjectorwhse.com

The $189 listed above is a pretty good deal. I still like the kit from Lindertech.com that is $300 a refurbished CPI unit, upgraded FPR, new nut kit, plenum gasket, and a new EGR gasket w/ integrated screen.

$767??? WOW! I've been touting Lindertech.com for years here... You got shafted!

i live in indiana theyre down by indy i think. i bet theyd charge me sales tax on that so ill either buy the used one or a new one online with free shipping and no sales tax. not to get off subject but i thought you cant replace the fpr on the cpi unit.

You can change it, but it requires a little bit of work to do so. Lindertech.com has a kit to install the later model SCFI FPR into the CPI spider. Just requires a bit of grinding and drilling.

You are not replacing the CPI spider for an SCFI spider. Just the FPR. The newer FPR is much more reliable than the old CPI FPR.

how much grinding and drilling is required and what are you drilling and grinding on ? im trying to decide if it will benifit me going that route or sticking with a stock CPI/FPR.
