I'm trying to get my '03 setup, but I'm still really undecided on which injectors to go with.
I will be using the truck for daily driving, playing off road, and towing the race truck. I'm not looking to make huge power, and I don't want to deal with a bunch of smoke. Decent mpg would be a bonus. These injectors will be paired with a 38R and big oil.
I was kicking around the idea of some small nozzled hybrids or maybe some medium nozzled AC's. There are probably some other options out there I'm overlooking, so any feedback would be appreciated.
The motor that's in it right now, has PMR's, is missing at least one piston cooling jet, and seems to run a bit on the warm side. As such, I'm having Empire Diesel freshen up my spare motor (which came out of my 2000), and we're going to drop that one in instead. Since, I'm swapping motors, it seems like the right time to go with new injectors.
A set of hybrids with small nozzles seems like an interesting idea, I was hoping to maybe get some feedback from someone who's run them.
200cc hybrids with stock nozzle 30% over with proper tuning is very manageable. Detuned for street use or bumped up a bit for towing and a fun setting that will just plain shred tires and get up and move. You can have it all with them. Not too big of an injector and not too small.
I would run a 200ish CC hybrid with a 100% EDM nozzle if you like to play. Otherwise, run a stock nozzle.
Either way it can be made to run smoke free, use less oil than any A-code, maintain whatever ICP you want with a stock pump and not break the bank doing it.
Cause you know that as soon as you get XXX A-codes, the first thing you're going to hear is how you must have "Big Oil" now.
You don't need a second pump to make crisp clean power in the range you're talking. You just need a tiny set of hybrids that use even less oil than stock.
I agree with Charles, save your money from the Big Oil and get some smaller hybrids. Or get some Stage 2's with an 80% nozzle. You can make the HP you looking for alot less than what your wanting to spend.
I don't know what nozzles they offer, but I have 30% EH and they are Great! Managable smoke cranked up, my biggest problem is that I have a stock turbo/downpipe/exhaust and my uppipe gaskets are SHOT! But even with that condition they still make 30-32psi of boost and towing isn't too awful terrible. I hope to be switching to a H2E on that truck with good uppipe gaskets soon
Stock 99+ (AD) split shot injectors are ~150cc's...
Our 175cc single shots (our 175/146 injectors) are a terrific upgrade for guys who don't want to upgrade a turbo.
Our (other) 175cc single shots (our 175/173's) are the same injector with a new, enlarged 7 hole nozzle...excellent injector for guys who *might* upgrade the turbo.
For guys looking to break 400, with little or no smoke, we came up with the 200cc hybrid...don't need twin oil pumps, etc...
This is what i have been pondering on. Ive got the TN and am trying to piece together a bad ass tow rig. Just didnt know who to talk to about actually purchasing the hybrid sticks. Let alone which would be best for my application. heavy towing with the ablility to have fun!!
I've got 200cc A-codes with big nozzles in my little 2wd truck right now. Power is awesome and so is the fuel mileage. They tax the little 15 degree pump pretty hard though. I've seen as low as 1250icp at over 70% duty cycle :badidea:
