Just fitted my recoed au xr8 24lb injectors to my ed xr6 and it is now running extremely ruff and idling ruff, is this normal due to over fueling? I thought it wouldnt matter cos i still have the stock fuel reg at the moment

its running way to rich now.. the 24lb injectors will still be flowing more than the 19lb injectors with the same pressure..

why put 24lb injectors in it ????

Ok ill change them back till i can fit my adjustable reg and go for a retune, because the tuner said lasttime that he had to set my limiter at 5800 cos it ran out of fuel so trying to see if more fual and pressure will make a difference

If you want to use the 24lb injectors you will need to get a tune done. I was looking at using 24lb injectors with stock ECU and was told that the standard ECU wouldn't be able to handle them.

well leave them in and get it tuned, the injectors can be scaled down via the j3...
