They are better injectors and they spray in 4 directions instead of one, if i remember. They are also about 2lbs more i think.

yeah but dont tell anyone that :lol: ..... people like to think fitting bigger injectors from a later model car is a power mod

i had my car tuned recently with stock fuel reg & injectors, and even at 157rwkw was running too rich and needed more air, not fuel

i think a large bore throttle body would be a more worthwhile mod, as these things already run rich from the factory

running rich hmmm s**t hey i never found that the EB used any more or any less from the standard 3.9 injectors, (and every now and then i got bored and worked out the litres per km s**t on paper... didn't see any difference.)

Wouldn't the computer alter the injector pulse to bring the air/fuel ratio back to where they normally run at?

afaik yes it does to an extent..
im mean if you go crazy and put 42lb injectors or something the flow would be that high the ecu wont be able to control it..
but with going from 18lb injectors to 20lb or 24lb injectors the ecu should be able to correct the flow..
the main reason for the au injectiors is the spray pattern not the flow!...

I understand the spray pattern would give more power as the fuel is atomized better therefore you get a more complete burn. I just wasn't sure how much bigger injector you could go before the computer lost control.

I have had recoed AU's in my EF engine for a while now. It runs smoother, but power hasn't changed, maybe a little more low end torque. It does run a tiny bit richer, but will soon be tuned out.

I only recoed my injectors because they were out anyway, so may aswell, i'm kind of a perfectionist is those type of things. 30k Au injectors should be clean, and will be better than e series ones.
