lq4 injector swap I'm in the midsts of a no-start lq4 swap. Im going to soak the injectors try to get them going.
If that doesn't work I'd like to go to larger new injectors. I've heard the stock injectors are marginal. At the moment it is just a bolt on swap motor with typical junk. Headers, CAI, larger MAF and TB. Are there any direct swap drop in fuel injectors i can go with that could handle a cam/head or forced induction build down the road? I'm running a pretty healthy fuel pump, trans is built up etc. so I'd rather not drop $800 on stock injectors that'll be replaced at some point in the next 2-3 years.

Look into the white 36lb injectors. They should flow around 42lbs on an LS motor. I think they were originally designed for a Pontiac GTP.
You can usually find a set of 8 for around $100-150 on eBay. I'm running them on my setup, which is far from stock.

But remember, you need a tune for them, or else you'll wash out the cylinders.
Note on the ones from eBay- definitely start and let the motor idle. If you don't see around 300* on the primaries, you have a dead injector.

Let me know how it goes....
Here are some Green Giants on Ebay I've been eyeballing.....

I just started an LQ9 swap but I'm gonna start it on the 24lb-ders....just to get everything running. I've seen people do that and drive it around for months untuned....
Can't you just spray some starter fluid in the TB to see if it fires? I've seen that before....even on top fuelers.
