fuel injectors
I have plans to shoot for 300 rwhp this summer and will need new fuel injectors. I'm thinking a c&l 76mm maf tuned to 24#s. I want to save some money and get all this used. I have reason to believe the previous owner of my car replaced the injectors, how can i tell what is in there by looking at them?
If I need to get different injectors, i would like to get them from the junkyard. I have heard that some continentals have 24#ers, along with the mark 8. Are there any others and how do I identify them?(heard they may have light blue tops)

RE: fuel injectors
just changed mine this weekend, I can tell a definate differance. They are blue tops, original are and orangey yellow color. I have a slight miss, I think its something to do with my egr, but it runs like a bat out of hell.

RE: fuel injectors
I was at the junkyard yesterday and saw some white top injectors in a couple t-birds but that picture shows that the white tops in the trucks are 24#. Are the ones in the t-birds the same? I also found some of the light blue top ones in a Mark but someone threw em on the ground and they were covered in sand and dirt, could only find 7 of them too.

RE: fuel injectors
not to hijack the thread
but when i bought my car (88 gt)
i was told it had 24# injectors in it
so i do a MAF conversion and get a MAF calibrasted to 24#s
after looking at my injectors they look like the stock 19s
they are sort of a yellow orange color
the car seems to run alright
every once in a while it has a slight miss in it
not sure if its injector related but just thought id ask while this thread was up

RE: fuel injectors
Orange injectors are 19's...
If you had 24's installed while the car was still SD, then you would have known something was wrong...
White top injectors are ~17Lb if I recall.... not sure though.
Point is, they aren't an upgrade.

RE: fuel injectors
if your injectors have yellow tops they are stock 19lb, you need to get a good set of blue tops thoughs are 24lb and get a matching mass air meter calib. to 24lbs you can get the set off ebay all day long for about $150
but make sure your pump is fresh i would recomend picking up a 190lph intank and throw it in there the pump will ruffly cost you about $90 and then upgrade ur fuel pressure regulator thats on ur fuel rail to a adjustable for about $60 and throw a inline fuel gauge on the service porton the fuel rail, set your pressure at about 44 if ur not worryed about gas milage and you shluld have a nice boost in performance, i hope you have a good air intake. recomend mac or bbk fenderwall cold air intake. if you want more info feel free to send me message or somthing , i got complete plans and stuff for ur car
