Injector Info Appreciated
 

I know this has been posted a thousand times probably but I would like some new thoughts on this subject. Mods are in my signature. I am looking to get a set of injectors finally. I would like to be between 75 and 150 HP injectors UNLESS you think that is too much for my setup. I really dont want to have to upgrade anything else yet so whats in my sig is all that will be supporting the injector mod. I would like to get as big as I can reliably handle so that I spend the money and dont wish I had a bigger set (I barely got the money to buy this set let alone buying another bigger set down the road). The truck is my play toy. I drive it to work alot during the week, take it muddin occasionally on the weekends and take it out skinnin sometimes :tu: I rarely tow with it and when I do its like 8-10K max. I am looking for a brand name reliable good injector. Thanks for any help.

I've been very happy with my Injectors from Diesel Dawgs. I had a set of 65's, and now have 150's. I can't say I have tried other brands to compare them, but they seem to be working great so far. Reasonably priced as well. As for size, I was going to say 150's, and do a turbo upgrade down the road. With mudding in the list of things to do, I'm not sure if that big is a good idea. It would be very easy to get out of EGT control while having fun, or getting in a tight spot. If you can cotrol your right foot until a better turbo, then 150's for sure. Otherwise a set of 75's will make a noticeable difference.

I get pretty hammer happy in the mud if ya no what i mean :w2: but I can keep her out of the mud and be a more mature respectful driver if need be. I would like to go 150's if you think I would be alright with them? And eventually get a bigger turbo. I am trying to avoid studding though too just because of the amount of time to do it and money. Also how hard are the injectors to do on these trucks? I am a John Deere mechanic and have done injectors on more than one occassion on a deere motor but have never even had the valve cover off of my truck :humm:

Probably easier than any Deere engine, except the 6068's with pencil injectors. I'm a 9 year Deere guy, both Ag and Construction. I'm trying to think what they would be like, and the closest would be a 6081 with the early HPCR, less the electronics. Getting the rocker cover off, and #6 line off are the trickiest parts. After that, it's pretty simple. 3 hours for the first time, maybe.

Thanks for all the help. Do I need any special tools for the injector job? and you think 150s be okay with the fass 95gph? thats my main concern i run 18psi idle and 15psi WOT with chip all the way up.

I put a set in last year for the first time. Like said, the #6 was the most difficult as I couldnt get my valve cover all the way off. Still, no special tools. I believe I used one of the intake elbow bolts threaded into the top of the injectors to use as a puller. I slid the open end of a wrench under the head of the bolt and used the nearest rocker arm as leverage to pop the injector out. Wordy, but I hope that helps!

Thanks for the tips fellas. I am leaning towards the 125 HP diesel dawgs so they aint to much but still fairly big.

They will do you well. There are a few write ups on here about replacing injectors, and it can also be found on YouTube.

go 75 or 100 then get studs then turbo...

Love my 150's from Luke @ DIESEL DAWGS as well. Like stated above easy with right foot until a turbo.

Hey chad since you have comparible upgrades to me just curious to no what your fuel pressure drops to running it hardish and what the egt's are like. Also how big of a power difference was felt after the injector install?

I might suggest a custom set, that way you get a set for your truck. SDX, CPP or F1 diesel make all nice sets. Talking to a builder is always nice.:tu:
