injector advice for my setup

geez, you guys are a bad influence...... my truck made 14 years with a stock 160 before i found this site.
? is: what injectors should i upgrade to. should i change out the dv's also? still a stock 160 pump outside of the plate and 3gsk. dunno how far i am gonna go with it. twins may be in the near future(almost have the war dept. talked into it)

DDP2's would be the best up to like 500 hp i think, i wnet all the way and got 140HP injectors, but if you do get large injectors to help fuel the twins your going to need delivery valve upgrades to laser cut or 191, mine are the stock 131 and they dont supply enough fuel to the injectors at high RPM and it pops and blows smoke rings.....

any how good luck with the twins! im building my own set with the stock charger on top of something like a hx52 or a HT3B

im in the same boat... building a hx35/ 3b twin setup. bought ddp4's and put them in before the twins (i got a little excited) but they are a nice streetable injector. my advice is dont buy an injector too small and have to buy another set. you can always detune your truck with the fuel plate and anything past 191 DV's gets smokey (i'm not a fan of trucks that smoke everytime they take off) hope this helps!

You sure thats not Timing related poping at high RPM, whats you timing set at. Bigger delivery valves are not always the best setup.

Good advice. I had my 140ish injectors in my truck for 5 months before I swapped in the bigger turbo. It was great on the stock turbo. For what you plan on doing with the truck, I'd get the bigger injectors from the start. 181 DV's will help with the stumble that 131's will cause with the bigger injectors. You could go to 191 or bigger, but 181's should be relatively to find and will do just as well.

well during this decision making process my truck has developed a slight miss.
was on #2 so i pulled the injector and swapped it for #3 just to see. yep miss moved. its bad. the i can hear a faint clacking coming from that injector. so its down till i get new sticks.did a comp. test on 2 and 3 and both were just fine.
Idle egt in gear went from 275 before the miss to almost 400. (pre turbo)
When you say DDP is that dynamite diesel injectors? is there a link by chance, i need to do this soon. fishing season coming up and i need to fix my get to the fishin hole rig!
