ok guys my stock injectors are toast, leaking like there is no tomorrow. so i went to NAPA today to pick up a change of fluids, oil and tranny fluid, and filters. while i was there just thought i'd check to see if they carried any injectors. yeah for $89.95 EACH!!! that is frigging ridiculus. so i'm going to order the accel 24# injectors, and a BBK afpr from summit. $229.95 for the injectors, and $59.95 for the afpr. does this sound like a good size, since they don't offer 22#s? thanx guys

eastTN, you'll be all right, just be careful with the fuel pressure. By the way where is reliance,tn?

 

hey steve, i saw you are from clinton. near knoxville, right? actually i live in tellico plains, but out of town. have a polk county address i work in athens, you know where that is. here she is. see ya around sometime.

oh yeah, forgot this in last post. with the larger injectors i should run basicly stock fuel pressure, 46psi, or less right?

 

Know exactly where your at. I work in Knoxville and live between clinton and lake city. Know of any good curvy roads with not much traffic? I went to deals gap a couple weeks ago, that road was a little to tight for me. Couldn't keep up with the ricers.

See ya, Steve

 

the one advantage of living in the country is that i get to drive hwy 39 aka mecca pike everyday to work. all the guys at work hate it because its so curvy but thats the reason i live here and drive a thirdgen. its pretty cool, but not to long, only about 20 mins from etowah to tellico. but i turn onto hwy 315 about half way to tellico. its alright to. it takes you to hiawassee river and back to hwy 411. if you haven't cruised up to tellico lately you should try the new skyway there, its a blast. just besure to fill er up before you go, and hardly any traffic.

Accel actually specs their 21lb injectors as stock replacements for the L98. I follow the TPIS line of reasoning that it's better to run small injectors at higher pressure, better atomization and all.

For the AFPR, I recently installed a Holley and really like it. It comes with a new diaphragm and spring unlike most others. The whole "hat" is serrated so it can be adjusted by hand, instead of a protruding bolt or allen-head screw that tends to interfere with the plenum floor. Only bad part is it doesn't include a Safety T-10 bit to loosen/tighten the bolts, and doesn't include runner gaskets.

{PS: I lived in Knoxville up until 1998!! Really hated to move but it was a job thing.}

I don't know if you're interested or not, but I have a fresh set of 23pph Cadillac Northstar injectors on the way back from Rich, cleaned, tested, flowmatched within 1% of eachother to 6500rpm, that I'll take 150.00 plus shipping for. That way you're using GM injectors without any fitment issues.

Ghosst,
Will the Caddy fuel injectors fit a 1985 Iroc fuel rail and manifold w/o modification?
Why are you selling them?
thanks

 

hey ghosst, i might be interested, haven't ordered the accells yet, so the caddy injectors are the same huh? guess i could go take the ones off my grandpas fleetwood, he probably wouldn't like it much though. e-mail me and we will set something up.

Yes they will fit with no issues at all. They are standard Rochester injectors.

I have 3 sets of them, a friend of mine owns a Caddy wrecking yard and some years of Northstars are notorious for throwing connecting rods and he junks the whole engine, I collect the injectors have Rich clean and flow them and usually use them in my projects, right now I just have a surplus.

Ugh, not the Fleetwoods.

I think the 4.1 PFI Fleetwoods got 17's or something wierd like that.

You've got mail.

hey ghosst, man i was just kidding about his fleetwood, but its the 4.5L engine and for a big car that thing hauls a$$. later

 

My hometown is Franklin NC, and I drive by you guys via I40 when I go home to visit family.

EastTN, that is a very nice looking car you have.
Either 19, 22, or 24 lb injectors will work. There are some tradeoffs though.
The factory ECM settings are very rich to begin with & that kills a lot of power.
You can run lower pressure, but that hurts the spray pattern/atomization.
If you go small and run higher pressure that can send the factory fuelpump to an early grave.

I suggest use what ever injectors you want, run a good fuelpump & higher pressure, then reprogram your ECM to match what you've got. The tech guys here & in the prom-burning section can tell you what you need.

The cheap easy & quick solution would be to run those 22 lb.

 

I moved up to 24#ers as well. I would like it if someone could answer the question about fuel pressure for 24# injectors. I've heard it should be less than the 19# stockers. Is this true, and what would be a good pressure setting?
