Need a new set of injectors. I have the option of refurbished bosch injectors for $99, brand new siemens deka injectors for $190 or brand new bosch AU falcon injectors for $185. The siemens look like a direct copy of the bosch ev1 type already in the car but are rated 200cc, i read on a bosch chart that the stock el ones are 190cc so i don't know if that would make much difference. I've heard the AU ones are all round better due to being ev6 type but i worry they would ruin my fuel economy by making the car run richer? what should i choose?

Use the AU. They have a better spray pattern. You should find a slight improvement in economy and throttle response.

Everyone seems to recommend AU injectors. What i don't understand though is if they supposedly make the car run richer how do they help gain a slight improvement in fuel economy as everyone is saying they do?

they wont make it run richer, they are a slightly smaller injector. according to fords injector slope in the binary ef = 19.73 au=18.18lbs/hr

How do they make the car run richer? From what I've read el's have 19lb injectors while au's have 20lb injectors so they inject a slight bit more fuel making them run rich. If i hadn't have read that i would have personally thought the ecu would just back off the injectors a bit to compensate as soon the oxygen sensor picked up it was running rich and that it would only be an issue if i was to put something stupid like 30lb injectors in it. |

Refer to my comment. They are smaller

Well here i have 2 charts, one from the pdf on bosch's website and another from bullet proof racing. The one from bosch shows that the au injectors flow more then el injectors and the one from bullet proof racing shows the AU injectors at 14.3lbs. For au injectors I've now been given 20lbs, 21lbs, 18.18lbs and 14.3lbs, i don't know who to believe
 . The figure you gave ranga83 seems more probable if it came from ford documents. I'm not trying to be a pain guys but I'm sure you've all seen there are a great deal of people on these forums that have no idea what they're on about and are quick to tell you that you need a new s5 solenoid in your transmission because your glove box is rattling and that if you don't replace it immediately your head gasket will blow destroying your bcm when really you just needed to take out the bunch of loose change you had rolling about in it... haha. If the AU injectors defiantly work fine I'll get them, I'm all up for improvements so long they actually are improvements. Really i just want to hear from someone that they put them in their car and it ran perfect, didn't smell all rich and fuely leaving excessive soot all over the tail pipe and that fuel economy stayed the same or improved.

Have AU injectors in both my EF and the wife's EL. If they used more fuel they wouldn't be in there. AU injectors are an improvement over the E series injector and have been a common upgrade for years.

I'm running au injectors in my fairlane and it runs fine. I started using less fuel and throttle response is much nicer. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfynoxL2RZI this video will show you ev1 injectors compared to ev6. The ev6 have a much better spray pattern and flow slightly better.

The ev1 injectors hardly even atomize at all. The au injectors are defiantly superior in that regard. I wonder if the difference in coil resistance changes anything negatively or positively? Edit: actually i think i just explained that to myself, i'm guessing resistance doesn't really matter at all and is just used as a spec to check on to make sure the coils are still within operating spec if you suspect they might be faulty?

Your not wrong about that. I'm not sure what you mean about coil resistance.

The injectors have coils inside them that have a resistance, the chart shows 15.9ohms for el's and 14.5ohms for AUs. SWC wrote: 90na2 wrote: I'm running au injectors in my fairlane and it runs fine.

Au's have a 4 jet ev6 injector and ea-el's have a single jet ev1 injector with a pintle cap. Both have a ev1 type connector though. |
