Nozzles or complete injectors ?

I need to replace my injectors. Shoudl I get nozzles and replace mine or is it better to get a complete injector set ?

Also are nozzles easy to install and will work fine on used body ?

Me too! But for about $300 more than the cheapest nozzles, you can send yours to Don M and have them all checked out and get a warranty. Craig

It depends if you need bodies or not. I assume you have a leaking injector, so you need to find out which part is leaking. If you were to replace the nozzles and accually have a cracked body, it would be pretty frustrating. I would send the complete injector off to have it tested so your not throwing money away.

What are you expecting with the 90hp injectors? How will they effect driveability and towing?

90hp's are good for a lil' extra when towing and are great for driveability.
didn't want to get to crazy and have a truck only to race with!

90s are decent size injectors on a CR. What downloader/module do you use?

I just replaced two injectors in my '05 before I knew you could just buy just the nozzles. The nozzles were leaking on my bodies but there was nothing wrong with the bodies at all. For the price of two complete injectors I could have paid for a whole set of 50 hp nozzles. I guess it just depends on how much money you have to spend on them. Besides you can see if the body is cracked when you take the nozzles off of them. If I had to do it over again, I would get the nozzles. They aren't hard to change out.
