Default Injectors

I decided to start a new post because it sounds like Im going to fork out money and I want to be 100% sure.

My truck is a 99.5 7.3 with 230000 miles Php tuning 6 chip
Currently theres no turbo on or fuel bowl and injectors are coming out today.
Questions.
Bill told me to go to single shot for fuel economy and Power. Will only the AE code single shot work. (what codes are compatible)

Should I look for a stage 1? (more knozzle flow) or will those injectors make me loose fuel economy?

Will something like this work? HERE

First off, I don't have any personal experience with diesel care/performance, but a lot of people have been burned with sub-par quality.

Your best bet is to have a set of flow-matched remanufactured injectors from someone like Jim Rose at Rosewood diesel DIY-Injectors.com or Dave Armstrong at Swamps diesel Swamp's Diesel Performance . You won't get higher quality anywhere and you won't have to worry a bit.

You will need new tunes written for single shots, but you won't be wondering whether or not you did the right thing afterward.

Stage 1s do not have a larger nozzle than stock. The nozzles are stock size but the injector volume is increased for more fuel delivery when needed. These are by far one of the better ways to go with a near-stock truck.

Seems to be.

I enjoy mine ..........even though they are more like Stage 6.5 injectors.

If for nothing else they are a more efficient injector and mileage should increase if you drive sensible.

I am with Cody on this one, Swamps seems to be the best in the biz when it comes to injectors.

Dave Rosewood will give me premium stage 1 conversion to single shot for 1385 (new plungers). Best price so far and fastest turn around time. Should I do it?

Im going to be running b100 biodiesel ok with stage ones?

New programs for 30 each. Do I need to get new ones written for the 1000 rpm warm up and the drive thru?nIs there a package dealto get all of them re written?

Actually all of your tunes will have to be rewritten to work with the different injectors....and custom tunes are $60 each. When running B100, certain maps need to be altered for that too.

As long as they are flow matched......then yes.

Yup, that will even quiet her down a bit too.

You will need all new tunes for the switch to singles. As for pricing you will have to ask one of the fellas at PHP.

Bill does use PHP stuff so he might be cutting you a deal since your getting injectors from him. With that said the AE is a split shot if you are wanting something that is a "factory" single shot that is bigger is an AC with is a 160 cc injector.

Maybe $30 in addition to the ones you already purchased. If that's the case, then yes, they will be $30 each.
