New Injectors?

Posted

Hi guys

 

So I think its time for some new injectors, truck has a pretty decent knock than sounds like all the injector knock videos on you tube.  The stock ones have 253000 miles on them so I'm sure the pop pressure is pretty low.  From my reading on here it sounds like maybe 100-150k mile per set give or take.  So my question is.  With a mostly stock truck would you guys recommend RV 275s or the DAP 7V.008 50 HP set or something completely different.  Some day I would like to add some HP but nothing too crazy for the time being anyway.  They are pretty similar in cost so looking for advise/experiences for other users.

    I switched out my original injectors at around 300k, or thier abouts. With new RV 275’s along with a quad xzt+. at the same time. Now have 321k, and completely happy with the performance. The xzt gene

    I'm running the same as @01cummins4ever but with an Edge EZ and use the truck 90% of the time for towing up to 9k pound trailers.  I really like the boost of power with out overwhelming the drive trai

    I just switched to RV275's about 6,000 miles ago (303,000 miles on the OEM injectors).  They perform well for me.  I have never heard of any negative comments about the RV275 injectors.   I

Are you talking about the boost fooler (72$) or one of the tuners like the adrenaline. Sorry for all the questions, been running the old dodge since 99 but it’s always been in stock form, new to all this go faster stuff. 

Thanks

With a boost fooler and boost elbow on my stock truck with worn out injectors I was able to get around 30psi out of my turbo.  I think a boost fooler and boost elbow will be a cheap way to get a little more boost out of your turbo till you can get the money for an Adrenaline.  I would think that would help to clean up the smoke a little.

    Boost fooler alone will do no good.

     

    The ECM stock timing is too retarded for most usage. As you add more fuel more timing is needed. As you add more fuel you need to map the fuel out so to keep the smoke in check. When everything is right under the hood with fuel and timing that truck should tear the tires off.

    Thanks Mike. I thought from what I have been reading on here that’s what i needed.  I guess I’ll start saving up for that. 

    Boost fooler made my boost jump from 21-22 to 35+ and reduced egts a very noticable amount. Truck whistles alot more to
