I guess it was used and not cleaned?

injectors are used as are all my parts (to make my project affordable!). But, the RX7 injectors were blueprinted to spec so I don't feel the need to get them tested, cleaned, and blue printed again.

Well, I don't think that my manifold needs sandblasting.

I talked with the ceramic coating guy that coated my manifold. He said he won't ceramic coat any manifold without proper sand blasting it first since it prepares the surface for a proper coat. So, my $140 deal is still open for those of you that want the same thing, and yes, it should cost the same for tubular manifolds too.

s5 t2 injectors i've seen go from around 100 for 4 to 40 for 4.

The price really varies. Just troll rx7club or nopistons for injectors and you'll find something eventually.

I'm gonna be doing a similar setup to this too.
