Are 42's big enough I have some Ford 42's. I'm planning to run 6-10psi on my stock block with a 72mm turbo on a z06 cam and springs. Will that be enough injector? |
No you want 60s and if you plan on making more power down the road go 80+lbs it would save you time and money down the road. Im on my tried set of injectors lol And the mods will be moving this thread for sure lol |
Def not enough injector. Go with 60's at least like tomz28 said. I havn't bought mine yet, but I am torn between 60's or 80's. Planning on 550 to 600 RWHP, so 60's may be on the edge. You can always tune down on a bigger injector to an extent. You can't tune up on an injector thats maxxed out though. Just keep that in mind. |
I have some for sale in my sig, they are low impedance though so you will need a driver. There are advantages of having low impedance injectors & if you ever wanna go really big you will most likely be buying low impedance injectors. The reason bigger injectors are usually low impedance is that they can open a lot faster. Check out this link, its specifically refers to 60# injectors, & mine are cleaned & flow checked. http://www.acceleronics.com/faq.htm#1 |
42lbers will get you in the 550-600 range. With the mods you listed above and the boost level you are stating you will be close. I would look at upgrading to the 60's as stated above if you ever plan on upping the boost. |
my 42's(bosch green top) stopped at 475rwhp boosted |
110% idc 625rwhp on 42s |
The safe zone is anything under 88% IDC if I remember correctly. 110% means you need to be shopping for bigger injectors. |
What fuel system? Stock system, 500 rwhp max. Return style 550. |

That was a long time ago lol I have 80s for now Check out the 3rd column down in blue. |
Lmao that is awesome I went from 42 , than 60s now 80s and I might be switching to E85 been looking at 2200cc injectors lol |
I heard something like since they are ford injectors, they are rated with a lower fuel pressure. And since the Fbody fuel pressure is higher that makes the injectors flow more...is this making any sense? I was told that the injector could be used safely up to 500 hp. If they are the ford injectors? |
Go with 60's. Might as well just do 80's in case you wanna turn it up =] |
They flow about 48lb/hr at 58psi, and I would only take them to 500rwhp max on a 6sp car and 475 on a auto. |
before the 60's came out everyone said you could go up to 600rwhp with the green tops. i had them up to 700rwhp but running over 100% duty cycle so i switched to 96's |
I thought that when you run a ford injector on an ls1 they have higher rating than ford gives them due to the higher fuel pressure? So 42# fords should be like 50# in an ls1 ( I don't know ratio just guessing) Am I wrong? |
