Default 24lb injectors

A friend of mine is selling hes injectors and mass air for a bigger ones, i was wondering if my fuel pump would be able to keep up with 24 lb injectors and a 80mm mass air rated for them? Would there be any other problem with the switch??

i dont think so. im 99% sure your fuel pump can handle quite a bit.. why do you need bigger injectors?

well he may be planning on a future of a little bit more power down the road. and it might just be one of those "deals too good to pass up". thats why im getting the o/r x pipe for my car. too good a deal to pass up.

bring back an old thread, ok, i got the injectors, i got both his stock ones and the after market ones and my orignals, so i have 19,22.5 and 24 lb ones which should i use?

hes the kicker, some of the 24 pound ones dont have caps on the ends, he told me that it doesn;'t make a difference because they are bolted down and the o-ring seals it, thats how he was using it, hes a picture of what im talking about...



it looks like the caps make the spray go more forward into the cylinders...
can i just buy caps for them somewhere?

OK i found the Fuel Injector Pintle Caps on ebay, not a bad price, they dont look necessary for sealing, but they do look necessary for correct spraying pattern.

i cant get the old ones off, plus they look different, like the 24 ones have a more rounded inside area, and the 22.5 ones have a square port
