no power gain. You need bigger injectors to support higher HP numbers, but injecotrs dont create HP on their own... Think of them as your potential HP

In modding our NA 2.4 we're getting up there in IDC. So far I think we're at 168WHP and hopefully will be higher after some intake manifold work. We swapped out for 33's which were 42% larger.
http://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt_...=948&catid=174

those will be good for big NA builds, nitrous or non IC low boost setups. We also have 40 and 60# injectors on the site and use them in some of our 2.4L turbo kits.

The stock 2.4 doesn't need larger injectors but as we release more NA mods, it will. We're in the 80's for % of available IDC and the PCM doesn't allow 100% based on a table which controls how late the injectors can stay open. We're close to needing larger injectors and with the new intake manifold we're working on, we'll need them then. Keep in mind the stock 24# injectors are 1/3 smaller than the stock 2.0 injectors. The 2.0 puts down 210WHP stock and the 2.4 we're at 168WHP (modified).

While I had my Ion I was sitting at 186WHP on a mustang dayo with my highest IDC at 89%. Once you get past bolt on's then I could see adding the injectors.


Oh and for you Nitrous set up Bull'ss of you are running a Wet kit you already have the extra fuel when you set up your nitrous shot.

yeah, it's kinda pointless.

bear in mind, i've got a set laying around as well, so, if i was gonna get the car tuned, i figure that i'd slap them in just for fun, but i wouldn't run right out and get them just because...

More mods don't need injectors on a na setup. A good tune will be just fine as red and I know

how hard is it to swap injectors? would it help to upgrate injectors and fuel pump if you are on nitrous? would tuning be needed? or would the 80% (stock) vs 80% (larger) be more fuel by default?
