Re: Injector sizing
You and me both.
I'll have to change out turbos and injectors for the next level of HP. But always thinking about it.
On the other hand;
Daddy taught me to never kick a sleeping dawg AND if it is not broke, don't fix it.
The times I ignored these rules, it cost me.
So I am in no real hurry to touch my 46 year old 12V71TIs that have been running perfect for so many years,, UnTouched.Last edited by Captain Ralph; 03-21-2024 at 12:31 PM.

Re: Injector sizing
Same boat, Ralph. We rebuilt the blowers this winter. Have not touched the injectors. N70 in 871 naturals. I don't think a change would give us any gains.

Re: Injector sizing
It’s all chemistry you have to have the proper number of O2 molecules to combine with the fuel molecules to complete the reaction any more or less of either leaves the excess molecules unreacted and resulting in inefficiency.
