Well I ran into a real buy on some used Racetronics 42s. Very low mileage from a trusted individual.
Car= 00 Formula A4/ST3800/3.42 3550 race weight
Ported LS1 heads, 228/236-.588/.578 cam, LSx intake, Dynotechs/merge collectors, electric Wp, all the valve train upgrades, oil pump, timing chain
My questions are:
1. Will these be ok with the otherwise stock fuel system?
2. Will they give a lot of tuning problems? The car will be dynotuned with LS1 edit.

TIA

 

Shouldn`t have a problem I would use them.

They will work but that is a lot of injector for your set-up. I have been running Bosch white 36lb injectors for 3 years and have made many n/a mid 10sec passes without a problem.

Thanks for the response.

 

If I were to shop for new injectors 36s were on my list. But I can get these 42s for a bit less than the 36lbers. That's why I was asking if they would work or not.

 

As said above they will work....but they will be overkill, and will take a significant amount of tuning from someone who knows what they are doing to make work. Read EZSS' thread about the problems with his JPR motor. I think that his problems were from fuel-wash in the cylinders from a bad tune and too big of an injector.

 

I have an extra set of 36's if you are interested. The price would be good.

How much for the 36#

 

Tom,
Can you PM or e-mail me the price? I'm very interested as I've not bought the 42#ers yet.

Al

 

For a H/C car I would go FMS 30's.

 

250.00 plus shipping. I could have them shipped as early as tommorrow if you needed.

Thanks!

Tom

 

Tuning for the injectors is relatively easy. Just multiply your Injector Flow Rate table. I'd multiply by 165-170% across the entire table as a starting point,

I agree with the others in saying that if you're just a heads/cam car, a 36# injector (30# SVO) is more ideal for you. You can usually find used sets around for 150-200.

 

If I'm not going to get the 42#ers for $225 then wouldn't I be better off getting the 30#ers in this add?

I confused as to what I really need vs what I could get by with vs what would be best.

 

Bosch 30#s are listed for $229.95 in the C4 section. These would work in a LS1 right?

I am looking for injectors for a TEA stg 2 5.3 and cam with between 228 and 232 on the intake side. These would seem to be the right size?

I am leaning toward the Bosch a friend had some SVOs fail.

Hey Lamar,

30# SVO's *are* Bosch injectors. At Summit (last time I checked) they were $219.
