Round II Fellas
 

Here we go again.....Getting conflicting info else where. I want new injectors. I DONT want HUGE power gains. Just a LITTLE bump. Im not looking to be a dyno king (especially with these crazy D-maxes and Cummins guys) but I do dyno OCCASIONALLY. I do drag race OCCASIONALLY. Just to support events. It IS my DD and the family wagon. I will be towing an 11,000lb+ trailer. But most of all it is my DD and it has PMRs. Id rather not replace my turbo unless I really have to. No way would I ever have the cash flow to fix a windowed motor(get a new one) if that were to ever happen (knock on wood). So Im being very cautious. SO which injector should I get?

I made some phone calls and the 175/146 single shots fit my needs. Now, some other people were saying small Hybrids are they way to go and even stage 1's. What the heck is a stage injector? But it seems that hybrids are for big HP gains. I dont want that. I know its all in the tuning but the way I see it is, if Im gonna spend a lot of money on something Im gonna want to use its full potential. I know the 175/146 injectors have potential but not as much as the Hybrids.Guys, help me out. PLEASE......

I understand your frustration.
I'm laying out the path to upgrade my injectors early next year and I am doing the research. My '97 is a forged engine, but I too want to concentrate on towing and manageable egts.
I am going to talk to Swamps and Beans when the time comes. I know that both of them will point me in the right direction, sorta looking at AC code injectors right now.
Stage just means a performance level, 1 is frst step, two is more, 3 is much more, etc.
Ask around, concentrate on meeting your needs not someone elses.
You'll be fine.

This is a good question and one that really doesn't get addressed very often.

I will be putting together a full article on the basic differences between injectors and how they vary from company to company.

Stay tuned... :)

From the RDS website

Stock = ~98cc

Stage 1 = 160cc and stock nozzle

Stage 2 = 160cc and larger nozzle

Stage 3 = 230cc and nozzles 100% over stock

If all you want is a little get up n go with no plans for more powah down the road just get a single shot stage 1 injector. That's all I got and with my rig I tow a 22.5K trailer with no real issues.

Where I think some of the problem is that some may call 160cc/30% nozzle injectors Stage 2 and others may call 175cc/30% larger nozzle injectors Stage 2.

Then you get into Hybrids, Mini-Me's, 530's, and all that other fun stuff.

Just to let folks know, I will be talking to the following:

Rosewood
Swamps
Casserly/Beans
Dynomite

I want to get final specs on each of their injectors. It's late and I'm tired (running on 3 hours of sleep). If there's anyone I'm missing, let me know.

Take care.

Bill for what it is worth an article on the injectors for those of us trying to learn would be very much appreciated, by me for sure.

I second that Bill. Its hard finding info when people are so biased towards a single product. I have had a bunch of replies and PMs saying I should go with this one and not that one. Its aggrivating. And when I ask WHY, all they say is oh they are so much better. Seriously!!! How many different ways are there to build an injector??? Why is one injector better than the other???? What is this mystery all about???? And why cant some people understand that not everyone want HUGE HP..... I happy with what I got!!! All I want a a bit more than stock....But safely!!! Well I got that out of my system, much better....I think I might just go get a Cummins!!!!


































JK......

you should be able to see some MPG improvements with the right injector/tune combo too... hopefully Bill can speak to this in his upcoming injector article:2thumbs:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! My bleeding ears! :eek:

:smiley_roll1:

I know.....I just couldnt do it!!I would catch so much crap if I did that!! Especially after all I have done to my truck.....NEVER!!!!
