Default Injectors are in....

Got em put in today, power is great... Seeing 33psi of boost, egt peaked at about 1350, but it idles like crap. I'm blaming the hr pump, it's pretty annoying and when pulling up to a stop sign it lopes hard and sounds like its gonna stall. I guess as long as it doesnt stall I can deal with it... Seems to me that cant be good for things? A big plus I did notice was my fp gauge really leveled out and doesnt bounce at all, possibley because the flow of fuel is alot easier now? All in all, they arent too smokey, wont get hot for what i'm doing, and the power is sweet. Sooo, Whats next?

Friend of mine was saying the vulcan 1/2" line kit from the canister to the vp will help with the lope. It's not even like it's a nice consistant idle, it's erratic and sounds crappy in my opinion... maybe I'll make a video tomorrow

It should cause all it means (imo) is that you're not pushing the right amount of fuel for your injectors. As of now, it probably is your fuel line that's a restriction for the diesel.

But yeah post up a vid, let's hear it

1/2" kit won't help. It's a delivery issue, not supply. 3/8" lines will fuel plenty lots with a good lift pump.

You can make all the power you want on 3/8s. You may notice higher pressure drop with 3/8s, but you could compensate with a touch higher pressure. As Mr. Williams noted it won't help your lope. Drop the hr and get a so

There is no pressure drop there is no indication of a line size issue.
I don't get where injector lines come into play here. Running bigger ones will cause a lope but their also a complete waste of money.
