88lx5oh Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 jsut wondering if by anychance.. in jectors from a 96-98 lincoln will work..the motor in it is a 4.6 modular motor. i found a set cheap, and they are 24# injectors... but will they fit my 88 5.0??

MrMeanGreen Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Yes. You have what's known as "Bosch style" injectors. Mod, 5.0L, LT1, LS1, etc. all share the same injector style and can swap them out for a physical match. But remember, you have to tell the computer that you did it. In your case, a simple re-calibrated Mass Air swap will do it. For me, I actually have to reprogram the PCM. Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 I see you have a 88. You probably have Speed Density, and not Mass Air. In this case, you could have a chip burned(I'm pretty sure). But it'd be in your best interests to go ahead and pick up a MAS conversion kit, with a MAS calibrated for 24# injectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could do what I did in the primered mustang and get a fuel pressure regulator and dial fuel pressure down to 30 psi from 40 and you will be good to go.

Nitrousbird Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Anthony, you could also recalibrate your MAF instead by using a MAF translator, but it just makes more sense to reprogram the PCM (thank god we don't have to deal with that burning chips BS). Yes, lowering the fuel pressure (on a PCM that won't compensate w/ altered injector duty cycles) will work, but kinda defeats the purpose of putting in bigger injectors, since you won't be able to flow a larger amount of fuel. Also, if you get a non-Ford injector, remember that Ford rates them at a lower pressure than everyone else (basically, a Ford injector flows a little more than the same "sized" injector from a different maker; I have 30# SVO's in my car, and have them set for around 32.4#'s).

They'll work even better if you buy the whole car and drive it instead... tongue.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 99+ the connector changed, anything else will work. But WHY? If you are mostly stock you don't need more injector. Stock injectors are fine until 300+rwhp N/A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Foxstang133617 Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 If you are going to spray the car i would skip the 24#ers and just go right to the 30-36#ers, if the system is a dry one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. However by lowering fuel pressure with bigger injectors, you can now run 60-70 psi with the nitrous on instead of 80-90 pounds which requires a high pressure pump. I am using 150 shot now and I am still a little on the fat side at about 70 psi. 24 pounders will be plenty big with a dry kit. Even if you put 30's in the car with a recaliberated meter. The car is going to run a short pulse on the injector and defeats the purpose again. On this application, I still say put a 24 pound injector in the car. Lower fuel pressure down to 30-32 pounds from the 39.7 pounds that ford recomends and adjust fuel pressure on the nitrous with a .040" shim in the regualator an jets in the Tee.

Just another reason why I run a wet kit. smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
