Injectors, Windstar Intake, Turbo

9986paulk · April 12th, 2009, 07:50 PM

OK, I have a few questions about some stuff I'm doing. I have the stuff I need to do a windstar intake swap. I'm also planning on porting and polishing the upper and lower intake, and a little work on the heads. I figure while I'm in there I'm going to do a cam and upgrade the fuel system. I wanted to know what size the stock injectors are and what would be a good size to upgrade to. I was thinking maybe 36# and a better fuel pump of course. I'm hoping to get everything part and getting to work on it within the next 2 weeks depending on the weather. My goal in the end is going to be in the 300-350 rwhp range. My idea is a turbo because I've seen turbos used with windstar intakes. Is that reliable, or only for low psi? (Of course the turbo is down the road probably a year or so. But it won't be a problem as the cars in great shape and only has 40k on it) Thanks for any help and recommendations.

depending on your cars year i believe they have 19lb injectors, and most upgrade to 39 or 42lb's that come out of a lightning or cobra along with a SVT focus fuel pump. as far as F/I, look into TMA turbo's for V6 mustangs or the Eaton M112 kit.

you wont make 300-350rwhp n/a
the windstar will easily hold 15psi+
My tuner pushed a plastic intake on a saleen made of the same material to 36psi with out a problem

you may want to look into 42lb injectors.a plastic intake would last as long as you dont backfire through the intake.

And I just wanted to check...until I do the turbo around this time next year, it doesn't really bother anything to run the heavier injectors, right? And I think I'm going to get the injectors in the classifieds on here soon. So would you guys recommend 36# or 42#?

so does anyone know if it hurts anything too much, or performance if I were to use 42# injectors in a car that makes, say 250hp until I do the turbo?
