Yep those look right. Sucks having a 2000 for injectors!

Is it a big deal to change them?

Expensive?

What else would you have to change/alter when changing them out?

stock injectors are about $100 EACH <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Not hard to change.

But you will need a computer reprogram, or you can "trick" the computer, and get it ok with a MAF-t

Aftermarket injectors are a lot less, like $250-300 a set. If upgrading, thats what i would do.

First. You need to know what Duty Cycle your injectors are at currently. If they are above 80%, I recommend changing them.

2nd. If you are going to change them, I recommend changing to a 36# if you are sticking naturally aspirated or 42# if you are going boosted @ 43.5psi rated injector. That gives you some breathing room and they are easy to tune.

3rd. Please don't screw around with this MAF-t thing. Just get the car re-tuned properly with the right Injector flow rate values.

DO NOT install & DRIVE the car with the new INJECTORS until it HAS been TUNED.

My currently duty cycle is 85% !
Can I reduce it by cleaning the injector or I must change it?

please god no.




I hope everyone, and you realize that FUEL is a dissolves things naturally. All this hocus pocus about fuel injector cleaner and crap...jeesh.

have you ever had the intake off of a car and noticed that where the injectors spray it is clean?

I recommend some 36# or 37# racetronix - Delphi/Lucas injectors rated at 43.5psi or even some 42# injectors (same as above) and you will be set

I have an 2000, when I bought it, it came with RC 30lb injectors. I traded those for my friends 02(28.8lb)injectors. I did the swap 3 years ago. Am I leaving something on the table?
