Not 100% sure but I think they run very similar injectors so may fit. You will need to modify the EEC though to cope with the larger injectors. But as nightstalker said, why? Are you running a turbo?

Problem if that you need EEC mods to run them which will be expensive.

I hope you got them cheap because they are 775 Blue tops which are suprise suprise Magna injectors. They are only worth about $30ea 2nd hand. Also unless you are making more than 160rwhp you don't need larger injectors even then you can band-aid it by upping the reg pressure to ~190rwhp.

To my knowledge of the ECU, and the only way it controls the injectors is by pulse width... if the other sensors in the engine are indicating that the mixture is too rich it would just shorten the pulse width.. am I correct???

So, really, injector size wouldn't make to much of a difference, if any as it will only inject as much fuel as it needs for clean combustion.

The only reason I could see its downfall if the mixture is still rich @ at the ECUs shortest pulse width... but that would be pushing extreme injector specs..

Or am I just talking out my a**??? :lol:

If only it was that simple.

The EEC has limits as to how far it can compensate. It can't even keep a good mixture on my EF 4L with 24lb/hr injectors!

Thats it, ithe EEC only has enough adjustment in it to compensate for small things like temp, Barometric Pressure changes, engine wear etc. It can not adjust for larger injectors.

Add to that it only adjusts while in closed loop mode, after all without feedback it doesn't know it needs to adjust.

Closed loop is enabled after you have been 'cruising' for a time period. The definition of 'cruising' and the time are not well defined in any of the manuals.

Good call. Even if EEC could adjust pulse width by that much in closed loop, as soon as the foot went to the floor it would revert to open loop maps and assume that stock injectors were present.

AFAIK injector size is a scalar figure within EEC maps and hence, if you could change that one value, the rest should take care of itself. If only we could change that one value....

BTW Adrian from what ive seen through HEGO output, closed loop mode kicks in after seconds as opposed to minutes, of course startup takes some time depending on ambient temp. Sometimes after healthy amount of boost it can take 20sec to revert back to closed loop, sometimes HEGO starts switching immediately after foot comes of throttle.... ?!?!

Yeah thats another good point, it only adjusts in closed loop. BTW closed loop is the default of the EEC and will run in it until engine load exceeds 75% or throttle position is above 2.5V (from memory) for a time of 2 seconds, then the EEC goes into open loop.

Thats kinda right because it will look at the MAP sensor as its primary load sensor. When it goes above a certian kpa it rolls over to open loop. All the TPS is used for is for acceleration fuel enrichment and some timing functions. The only time the TPS would be a primary load sensor is when you tune in Alpha-N, meaning the ecu only works on values based on TPS and RPM. Alpha-N is virtually racing car stuff.

I know this because I use Kalmaker/Delco which is very similar in function to EECV.

Actually on the Ford EECIV & V, if either the TPS value or load calcualtions (either via MAP or MAF) go over the specified amount, the EEC will go into open loop. On my setup, I mainly use the TPS value to trigger open loop, not load calculations.

on the EEC's, isnt load based on MAP, TPS and RPM ?
