will ford 24lb injectors work in my car?

just as the question states will they work? i am planning on putting a sc on my car and i know i will need these. i see gm injectors are like twice as much? i also saw in a gm magazine a tpi 350 with 24 lb svo injectors. i believe that svo is special vehicle operations right and ford is the only company that uses this let me knwo thanks!!!

The SVO injectors are made by Bosch, same as the GM ones. Some slight differences but nothing that will prevent you from using them.

I think TPIS sells a set of eight, 24lb injectors that are match flowed for $260. I bought a set a few years back to use on my TPI when I finally install it on my car. They still sell them for the same price. Look in any magazine for their add and it should show the price.

They will work but if your motor is stock you will have to turn down the fuel pressure because it will run rich.

I've read that you'll have problems with Idle and open loop watch out.

One other thing you need to pay attention to is the impedance. I've noticed most stock injectors are of the high impedance type, whereas 30lbs. and up are usually of the low impedance type. You have to run a different computer with low impedance injectors, like a Haltech I think. I'd hate to see you end up with a set of injectors that won't work with your system.

I'll find the article, scan it in and post it or e-mail it to you on the $260 price.

if you have a semi stock car and add 24's you will run rich esp with the SVO's Your going to have to get a Custom chip to run those with a severely lean condition. I was going to get 24's but I decided to get the 22 MSD ones cause they said a AFPR could make the 22's act like 26lbs down the line.

Uhm... why would you have to change the computer when you change from 22lbs injectors to another set of 22lbs injectors?

umm kevin if u read the post right no one said anything bout changing 22lb injectors to 22lb injectors it was stock injectors to 24 or 30 lb injectors.. and i think i will only need to change the computer if i switch to 30lb right?? if i stick with 24lbs injectors i will be allright..

Whoops, you are right, I apologize. I misread it and thought the TPIS injectors were 22lbs. I think you will need a custom chip with 24lbs injectors as well, but the stock chip will work. I did have 24lbs injectors in mine when I put in the 350 the first time, and it ran rich. Nothing I could do would lean it out so I swapped them for 22lbs and had no problems since. I was using the stock chip at the time.
