Quick questions about injectors...

Tried 2 use the search feature, but couldnt pinpoint... Are the 2.8 and 3.1 injectors on these cars the same??? And what other cars use the same injectors as the 3.1? Im trying to find some but want to broaden my search for better results. Thanx guys.

Re: Quick questions about injectors...

They're a little different, but the same size. You might try some ford F1ZE injectors (found on most 2.9 v6's) they give you a better idle & response. Find the 'Ditch your stock injectors!' thread.

I believe that the 2.8s had 15lb injectors and the 3.1s had 17lbs.

2.8's up to 1988/9 (forget when they changed from pintle cap to Bosch) has 15.4 lb/hr injectors, and later 2.8 and 3.1 had 14.7 lb/hr injectors, Bosch style. 3100 injectors won't work unless you have a 3.4 (same injectors) because they are 18.6 lb/hr and WAY too big.
Ford injectors are actually slightly smaller, BTW. They may have better electrical response, but the physical size makes them useless, unless you want to find some bigger ones.

Re: Quick questions about injectors...

According to what? Ford also rates them at a lower pressure than GM. They're actually closer to 16 lb/hr with gm pressure. Sevral people are using them in their cars.
