UPrated PD Injectors

yes you should be able to get +20hp from the injectors alone, but the amount of extra soot would probably be quite nasty....


Actually swaping injectors is not a hard job, but getting them setup correctly is. There's a certain amount of slack that they need from the rocker arm.

I've heard that the pd ones are quite a bit more messy to nozzle-swap than the old ones,,, they should also need a special tool,,,

Yes the nozzle swaps on a PD are a complete B*tch to do. Very special tooling required. I only know of a handful in europe that can do it.

That's actually quite simple. Though not verbatim spin the cam until the lobe on the cylinder you are working is at it highest point with the rocker pushing down the injectors' plunger. Spin the adjustment screw in until you get a good resistance then back it out 225 degrees. Tighten the lock nut and repeat.

One could easily do a set in an hour having done a set before.

Injectors are easy to swap.

The nozzles are a lot tougher. It's not like the VE 2-spring injectors. Things break inside if you try to unscrew them in a vise.
