Yet another injector poll....

So, im looking around at injectors. I would like to get some input from all. I bet I will see POD's alot, but im worried about the smoke and the EGT's that I hear so much about. Any input on Bosch 190's or DDT stage 3's? Its my understanding that I will be able to take advantage of them with my HTT IV...air+fuel=power right.

I have Pods with just a 16cm housing, no comp upgrade, and have it tuned where it runs real nice and I only see 1250egts under wot right before peak rpms. Smoke is just moderate, with no insane cloud behind me.

PODs. Adjust the smoke/haze where you want it, trading off the power advantage.

The stage IV is next here, since I've opened the exhaust and gone BHAF...

I just put in 190's with the Stage IV HTT compressor upgrade. I'm still tweaking it in at present. I just ordered a 4" d/p from Rip to replace the stock one. I am getting about 28 pounds of boost now that I found my leaks and fixed them but egt's are still a concern and require a watchful eye. At this point if the d/p doesn't lower the egt's suficiently I might go ahead and turn the truck into a drunk. It can't go to the meetings so it can't be an alcoholic. I just can't bring myself around to lowering the horsepower yet. I want 300 hp at the flywheel and 275 hp at the rear. Trouble is, I don't know what I have now. The last dyno was too many bombs ago.

Hey Smokem, Ive got my stage four on, but I dont think im making the best use of it. Dave at HTT said mild injectors would be great with this setup. I mentioned the Bosch 190's, but he said the next step up would be best. Does anyone know what that step is?

POD's or BD XXX's would be about the next step up.

I can black out the road behind me with POD's, but I could do it with the stockers too. Once the turbo spools up good, it's just a haze, but still very noticeable. Smoke doesn't bother me... I need bigger injectors.

If (when) I get some bigger ones, they'll be for sale for a good price. I recently did a lot of the work in my sig, and another grand or more right now really wouldn't sit well with the little lady. Besides, my Jeep needs some attention right now. I might not leave my kids a bunch of money, but they'll have a big pile of parts to play with!

I've messaged the stinky out of my heaps airway and having an HX35 hybrid push through it, 190's give me 243HP/522ftlbs on #2.

All without a cloud of stinkin black smoke.

You'r running a manual trans so would see even better numbers.

If you want decent power, POD's are a good first gen injector. A little smoky, but it can be tuned out a bit with the pump, and driving style. If you want more power later - have them honed, and hold on! Last I checked they were fairly cheap.

190's - make less power, but are cleaner. More expensive though.

EDM's - haven't had the best luck with them, but others have.

DDP 4's - probably the best injector for power and driveability. Relatively expensive.

Mike
