Likely engine damage in fairly short order.

Accel injectors were for a LONG LONG time absolute garbage, I have heard from one person I trust that that has been corrected, good luck.

I've been running them for almost 2 years and so far so good...I heard they were garbage after I put em in...No complaints, but you will definitely need a tune before you drive it too much...and it will run poorly anyway...

If you run them without a tune, you're just asking for trouble.

Unless you like washing out cylender walls with fuel and distroying your motor I would suggest leaving the stock ones in untill you get a tune for 30lb injectors.

Washing down the cylinders would probably happen before the bearings get destoyed by the fuel diluted oil.

Most tuners like SVOs.
Far as being garbage like I said they LONG were garbage but at least one person I trust said they switched suppliers and that problem should be corrected.
Talk to your tuner and see what he likes that is the most important thing because he has to be comfortable working with them.

Their's a chance it would run fine as I've seen many accel injectors marked as 30's and 36's that were in fact 24's.

well im definitly gettin it tuned. the car is tuned by pcmforless and thats who is goin to do it again, so hopefully if will work ok. did u guys see big gains from going to bigger injectors, cause my car is really slugish on top end and i have a narrow band and it says it is really lean. (which i know narrow bands arent really accurate but still)
Thanks!

Only way you will see a power increase from bigger injectors is if you are maxxing out the duty cycle of the current ones or if the current ones are failing.

INTMD8, that is nice marked the wrong size, wonder how many guys lost motors to that problem?
