Fuel injectors

ssdell3 · June 20th, 2007, 09:53 PM

I have a 99 Stang GT with BBK X-pipe, MagnaFlows, and some CAI i got from a friend with an 04. I also picked up some 42 lb injectors from him for about $200. I've been waiting on the fuel pump from him for a while, and this brings me to the question. Can I just put the the fuel injectors on now with the stock fuel pump, or do I need to wait for the pump and get it tuned? It is my fun daily driver.

you will need a tune.

don't put them in your car without one!

The last thing you want is to have your engine damaged by detonation and ruining your stock pump. Patience is a virtue.

Why do you need 42 lb. injectors???????????????????????

your right.

then it will die and need to be rebuilt when you wash all the oil off your pistons.

You are going to be dumping fuel out of the tail pipes at idle if you don't have big plans for your motor.

haha I think he got our drift guys

ssdell3 · June 20th, 2007, 10:05 PM

My friend told me it would give me more HP. Forgive me, but I've been wanting a Stang for about ten years, and I just got this one. So I'm a super newbee. So tell me, do I really need them? I've raced a 95-96 SS Impala, a Daytona Hemi Charger, and some slow ass Camaro on the interstate, and beat them all, but I want it to be faster. Also, my car max out at about 125 mph, what can I do to overcome this?

acmillr · June 20th, 2007, 10:07 PM

I don't understand- this question comes up constantly. Why do all these people think that adding bigger injectors is going to give you power.

For the love of God, Stop the madness!!

SWEET2KSTANG · June 20th, 2007, 10:08 PM

injectors support more power, not add any! the stock injectors will support around 350rwhp before they start straining.

HMUSN · June 20th, 2007, 10:09 PM

your car is goverened by the computer.

get a tuner to fix your speed limiter.

the 42 pound injectors you don't need right now.

fuel injectors don't give you more power. they just allow you to dump more .fuel if you need it. which you don't at this point

ssdell3 · June 20th, 2007, 10:10 PM

If they won't give me more power, anybody want to buy them? Basically, I only want to slowly get it up to Cobra specs if this possible.

I'm glad you cleared that up.

1.) Don't listen to what most people tell you. Every ricer on the planet thinks he's a pro mechanic.
2.) Lower rear gears will help you overcome the speed barrier.
3.) To fully help you, How much are you willing to spend?

04GTAMPA · June 20th, 2007, 10:11 PM

I learned in Modded Mustangs that getting bigger injectors for more power is.....

Now that, is the right question!

You are in the right place for advice.

I've been slowly adding stuff slowly, so usually about $300/month is what I have been spending.

04GTAMPA · June 20th, 2007, 10:16 PM

at that pace, you can add nitrous in less than 2 months and get some serious results. Anyway, I'm not the one to give advice here.
