Do bigger fuel injectors do anything?

It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that bigger fuel injectors equal more power, but unless your engine is set up to deal with the extra fuel, you'll be on a fast track to trouble. The excess fuel will flood the engine and it either won't run at all, or will be running too rich.

Do bigger fuel injectors increase HP?

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.

Do I need a tune after bigger injectors?

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).

Can I put bigger injectors on stock engine?

You can;t do a stock tune unless you can fool the ecu into thinking it is getting more or less air. 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.

How do bigger injectors work?

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 makes an engine rev faster?

Lower piston speeds means less stress on the connecting rods and crankshaft as well as acceptable flame propagation speeds, allowing the engine to rev even higher. Also, by having a wider bore, you can have larger intake and exhaust valves, leading to better airflow at high RPM.

Does high RPM hurt engine?

The absolute most stress on an engine occurs at high RPMs. The forces acting upon the rotating assembly are exponentially increased with RPM. That also increases the magnification of any oiling inconsistencies (as small as they may be nowadays), which can be deadly to engines.

Why is 7000 RPM the limit?

Petrol engines usually redline at 7000-8000 RPM while diesel hits the peak at around 4500 RPM. This is because diesel engines are not made for high RPM in the first place. They are slow to combust than petrol and are mainly focused on more torque rather than RPM.
