So Tony, do you never reccomend anyone to use the older style injectors (PTE, RC, etc...) on street/DD cars anymore? Can you get away with the older style injectors? any risk to engine? Is it basically bigger the injector, the more issues you will have with idle and fluxuating A/F ratios?

Thanks.

 

Okay guys I get the point,lol.they are the best and since I have this strange feeling that everybodys looking at me I guess I can go into debt and get me a set of ID1000s.think I might've found a set for a decent price anyway.I am tryin to make it my dream come true so why not right.

 

I mean ID's are def. better technology hands down, but my delema is that, cant you still get away with using conventional injectors? people have been doing this for years without problems, and I just dont know whether to get rid of my PTE 950's and go ID, or just use the PTE ones.

 

Of course you can still run old technology injectors. Hell, you could run a carburetor if you wanted, doesn't mean it's good at what it does. There's a reason things have gone from carbs, to old technology injectors, to new technology injectors. Just like everything else in life, fuel injector technology is ever evolving. The problem is while the OEMs were staying up on injector technology, the aftermarket hasn't been until we came along. Now all the sudden there are HUGE improvements in performance in the aftermarket with the new injectors that are out. This stuff didn't happen overnight, it's been a slow and constant progression in the OEM side of things, but a big jump and relatively new change in the aftermarket.

Yes, you can use the 160lb injectors you have, we all know that. The difference is you have a car that is horribly inconsistent, gets terrible fuel efficiency, makes less power, and a host of other possible issues. But they are cheaper!

 

You should be able to source a set of used ID1000s for at max 350 bucks pretty easily. If your running an oem cam you should "easily" be able to get an idle at nearly stock quality with them.

im sure there is a welder around this place somewhere... check with different motor Ts...

sense your looking for a new clutch I would look to competition clutch as my sprung Stage 5 held the power level your looking for however when it comes to a durability at this level of power/ torque your kind of at a loss so that is something to keep in mind... I have not had problems yet however its something to be weary of.

being called a devil dog is a badge of honor in my opinion. insulted by the prestigious nickname of devil dog, leatherneck, or jarhead is a lack of discipline but you were not insulted that i called you arrogant... hum... how does that make sense...

 

Cant go wrong with some ID's.

 

Man I'm searching like crazy and the cheapest I've found them was for like 450.I don't mind buying used either,but I don't see anybody anywhere selling a set of them

 

Well,I can't believe I found a price so cheap.thanks guys for all ur help.now Im officially broke,lol.

 

lol all for the love of it man

 

Got my hands on some id1000s.got my pwm boost control in the other day,thanks to HAMOTORSPORTS.install it tonight

 

what size feed line u running? and did u wire your fuel pump/pumps directly to the battery/relay?

 

Thanks for your kind words about my build, and also the work you do. I know several Marines and the hell they have been through over there, so all I can say is I appreciate it...

As for the dry ice idea, I have no idea if this could work since I have never tried a water to air intercooler. The one car I have seen this done (Kaizenspeed H2B EK) Reid uses ice to keep it cool, but his is not a street car; it is only driven 1/4 mile at a time.

Keep at it man, you sound like you have a good handle on your build. I would suggest for the ID injectors, you should be happy with the results. I hope to see some numbers on your setup, keep me posted...

 

Bosch 1600cc's like Tony said are pretty bad at idle. One of our shop cars has them with an AEM injector driver and the A/F are still all over the place at idle.

Good thing going with the ID1000's!

 

Jus got my ID1000s in the mail today.gonna throw em on later tonight.gota wire up the plugs n stuff to.
I'm running 10AN braided fuel line for fuel.i have my pump ran to external switch that's ran off the battery.I run switches for everything.I got like 10 more to put in

 

Well,got em in.jus one more thing down. I'm still waiting for my aluminum water tank box.
I wonder what water/meth would do?????????hmmm.
Any ideas since I am probly one of the few thats runnin air to water daily.I no people use them for the track but why should they just be for the track cars?why can't we use the same method that cools the IATs at the track in everyday road use?well I'm gonna see how it goes.this will hopefully be my 600hp daily.water/meth??????
