i think my injectors are going out, im haveing trouble figering it out right now but thats what all its looking like. i dont want to go back stock but i cant afford a new turbo. i was thinking about the f1 mach 1.6, i looking for towing and mpgs. ill be looking to get a new turbo later and dont want to change the injectors agen. ideas?

 

id just go with edge jammer tips...best bang for you buck...

 

what would make you think you injectors are going out? I've never heard of that.
Are you down on power? Could be a dying IP.

 

any codes?

 

ya im down on power, no there are no codes, everyone keeps giving me symptoms for the IP and they dont match whats going on, i think im leading diesel into my oil, wich when you havent changed injectors ushuly meens its getting by one of the seals in the injector, i think that means i cant do something easy like the jammers

 

o the bigest sine is 12 mpg

 

i ran mach 4.5s with the stock turbo and with my chip set to 2x3 egts were fine and not a ton of smoke. theres room to grow like when i put on my htt ss62. personally i like the way it ran with bigger sticks and less chip.

 

well as u can see iv only got the XZT+, i dont care if it smokes probibly be agenced my cause if it did, like i said looking for good towing performance and mpg. i figer whatever gaine i get over that will do me for the offraoding and little bit of raceing i do

 

If you do a lot of towing I would stay under 100 horse injectors. Do you have gauges? What are your boost and egt #'s?

 

waiting for a reply on some gages i want to buy, ill have them in well before i get the injectors in. reading another post the mach 1.6s sound like the bigest i would want to go with, just the other weekend i had a laod of about 12k lbs i took over to the beach and back.

 

Well gauges might help you diagnose your problem. You really don't have an idea of whats going on in the engine. Gauges are a great tool when troubleshooting.

 

ya thats y im getting them, im waiting to see if the oil level is going up, i think it is and that will tell me alot there too, i marked my dip stick and am driving it now waiting to check it agen. it im right then is the injectors

 

Try this trick. Get a paper towel and lay it out flat. Take your dip stick out and let it drip on the paper towel. Watch the drop and see if it spreads out. If there is fuel in the oil, a lighter colored ring should spead out from the dark oil drop. If it just stays in a dark drop then there should not be any fuel in the oil.

 

how long has this been going on? Maybe apps? 12mpg sounds like a misadjusted apps or one thats going out.That wouldnt explain the fuel in the oil though

 

The only seals on the injectors are the O-rings and the copper washers at the bottom. There is absolutely no reason you cant do the nozzle replacement. I did the Jammer stage 4 nozzles and I will tell you for 240 bucks shipped to my door the best and most cost effective improvement I have made to my truck. For the cost you can do some assesment on your driving and then if you want bigger or smaller injectors, you will have made a very cheap real world road test. Just be careful going with bigger sticks, cuz you WILL need a bigger turbo real soon. I saw temps in the 1300-1400- range without the box turned up.
