Injectors

So I'm looking for new injectors for my GTA and came across 22# Bosch 3 hole and 4 holes injectors. Is there really a difference between the two ? Performance, fuel economy ?

Re: Injectors

The Bosch 3s perform great. I think they are 4 hole contact southbay08 to get a set.

Re: Injectors

Just be cognizant of the fact that you may need to re-tune the ECM after putting in Bosch-III's. Both the injector flow rate (the value in the ECM that optimizes performance may not be exactly the advertised value), as well as what's known as Injector Pulse Width vs Battery Voltage Correction (which, it's off significantly, can HUGELY impact performance in a negative way). Go over to the TPI section as there a couple of threads on the issue.

Re: Injectors

Also the small PW values need to be tweaked. I have RBob's P4 system and it's not hard to adjust it's more a matter of finding the values to use was the challenge

Re: Injectors

yeah, generally you zero out the small PW table since the newer injectors don't need any "help" at low pulse widths...

22lb bosch with 3 holes??? The 4 hole spray pattern has better fuel atomization.
