injectors

[novawez]

are the blue ones any better than the cream ones does anyone know:thumb:

[Stuart]

define better.....

ir they are likely to flow different rates, but the lower one may well be suited to your ECU. etc.

[novawez]

yes i mean flow better but like you said would my ecu have to be suited

[Stuart]

give us a clue what engine then..... :wall:

[novawez]

oh sorry novagte

[Stuart]

no point changing the injectors.

[novawez]

oh didnt know if they were better or better spray oh and what are them boost valves like

[Stuart]

boost valves are pretty much a waste of time/money... imho

[novawez]

ill leave the boost valve but shall i leave the injectors what about the ecotec valve

[Lee]

Your doing well to get the 8v to apoint where it exceeds the flow rate of the standard injectors.

When youve got a vertical cam and some throttlebodies, and a rev limit approaching 9k, maybe start to think about it lol

[novawez]

oh is that what there for i thought it was just an upgrade what would they do to a normal gte then

[Lee]

Absolutely nothing, probably overfuel if anything, and make it slower.

[novawez]

cheers matey

Bruce used XE injectors on his 1600 engine, but that was a 150bhp GRP A spec.

The std ones are fine for normal-ish engine specs. Xe ones on a std engine would flood it, and probably cause bore wash.

As above, so probably no good ata ll for what you want.

Having your own injectors cleaned will probably be the best thing to do.

Made a huge difference on my old xe

Agreed, and recommended too, as I had two of mine stick open and wash the bores a year ago!

So is it wise to say uprated injectors

such as 2.0 xe on a nova gte engine would be a waste of time and run very bad??

[Riggy]

yes

Yes, unless its tuned enough to need more fuel.
