Do bigger injectors need a tune?

In general, injectors need a tune. Otherwise, your ECU is trying to drive the new, bigger injectors using the duty cycle and dead times for the old, smaller injectors, which means too much gas potentially at the wrong time (i.e. - running rich and potentially missing).

Do I need a tune if I upgrade fuel injectors?

Fuel injectors directly affect the fuel / air delivery of your vehicle. New fuel injectors do require a new or updated tune.

What happens if you install bigger fuel injectors?

If you throw in bigger injectors it will hold that injector open for the same amount of time as the smaller injectors and it will dump TONS of fuel in.

Will bigger injectors make more power?

Larger throttle body and injectors

A larger high-performance throttle body will deliver more horsepower. Depending on what type of engine you have, you can gain as much as 10-20 more horsepower and comparable torque.

Can you drive with bigger injectors?

No. If it even starts, you will risk bore-wash. Either tow it, or do the pump/rails yourself but leave the stock injectors, and swap in the bigger ones at the tuner's place.

How To Tell When You Need Bigger Injectors [HPA Q

Will bigger injectors hurt mpg?

In the end, do not upgrade to larger injectors in an attempt to get better fuel mileage, as new stock sized injectors will do the job if your current injectors are worn out. But at the same time, if you are looking for more power, do not be afraid to go to a larger injector because of losing fuel economy.

How much HP will fuel injectors add?

The technical answer is yes; fuel injectors can add 10 extra horsepower at peak. However, for some car owners, that minimal difference does not offset the increased cost and complexity of switching to fuel injectors or upgrading the existing stock fuel injectors.

What brand of fuel injectors are best?

How do I choose injectors size?

How much HP will 120lb injectors support?

Rated injector flow: 120 lb/hr @ 43 PSI. Supports up to 1900 horsepower.

Which is better high or low impedance injectors?

That low-amp current keeps the injector temperature lower, which makes it more reliable; that's why the high-impedance design is the most common injector style for OEM applications. Low-impedance injectors, also called peak-and-hold injectors, are sent a more powerful electrical signal, usually around 56 amps, to open.

How much HP can stock 5.3 injectors handle?

At the low end of the 5.3 spectrum, the LM7's 25 lb fuel injectors are going to max out before they reach the 400 horsepower stage, typically around the 380 horse mark. Gen IV injectors, particularly those on flex fuel models, are at or just above the 30 lb mark, which will bring you closer to 400 horses.

How much HP does a tune add?

For a general stock car (i.e. no additional performance parts), a tune will boost your hp by 10 to 15 percent. What's more is that if you've added performance parts to your vehicle such as cold air intake, exhaust, or turbo, the hp boost you gain from tuning may be as high as 50 percent more!

How much HP does E85 add?

The benefits of E85 really come from the higher octane (up to 110, depending on ethanol content and quality). This allows some of the same benefits you see when using methanol injection, meaning you can run more spark (if needed) or boost. This normally translates to 25-50 or more horsepower on a forced-induction car.

Is fuel injection cleaner good for your car?

A good fuel injector cleaner can improve fuel economy, gas mileage, and vehicle performance. It helps lower maintenance costs by keeping the engine clean. A clean engine delivers more power and better performance because it doesn't have to work as hard.

What do bigger injectors do on a diesel?

Bigger Injectors Are Quicker-Firing Injectors

Thanks to larger nozzles and the appropriate injector body work, the added fuel can be injected quicker. This means less timing advance (i.e. start of injection) to achieve your power goals, which translates into less stress placed on the engine's rotating assembly.

What is injector offset?

Injector Offset Matching – Used to display how closely matched each injector is in latency (delay), guaranteeing that each set of injectors takes a similar amount of time to fully actuate.
