Is there a 60# injector that has the large body like the stock injector ?

Now that i have the fuel pump to run them..... i'm in the market for injectors. I feel 60#'ers will do fine. From what i've read, the Motrons seem to be very popular and highly recommended, but they are a thin body injector. They are noticeably different from stock.

I want/need my car to appear as smog legal as possible so that every two years i don't have add swapping injectors to the list of things to do to pass emission testing.

I need them to be visually the same as the stock ones. At least as much as possible. Is there a 60# injector that has the large body like the stock injector ?
 
Tori, none of the 60s are stock body size, but 50s can be had, used that are old school and great injectors good for high ten second quarter mile times. Idle and drive good, I have a nice set that have been cleaned and flowed a couple weeks ago that I might sell if interested.
 
Those 2 above look like stock injectors.

The car and the computer chip will run their best if you use the same style of injector that the chip was developed with. (Not just the advertised flow rate)

Every different injector has its own offset or latency calibration and that's part of what goes into the tune in the chip.

of course i'd be getting a new chip, but what would i tell Eric other than the flow rate ?
 
Tell him which injectors you ordered and the part number

Might want to check with him before buying injectors. There are lots of injectors out there and he can't run all of them through the process.

That's a good idea. I'll do that for sure. Thanks guys. Car goes to paint an body tomorrow ! No more hail damaged roof, and chipped up nose from daily duty in it's past life.
 
Eric burns chips for the 50s, he is well versed with the msd 50s so that would not be a problem. If your going e85 they will not be big enough. Either way there are multiple choices available. It really depends on your goals and personal preference.

I still haven't ruled the 50's out. I'm sure they'd be enough for mine.
 
Keep in mind that low impedance injectors are not compatible with a stock ECM. Low Z injectors require peak and hold injector drivers. The stock ECM has saturated drivers

I don't believe it's getting painted. Might have to see pics! Did you remove the glass, bumpers, etc.?
 
One of the threads I read! ON3 turbo kits has crap injectors also. Spent hours and hours trying to tune a turbo mustang with ON3 inj and the Megasquirt self learn couldnt reel it into tune. Put Ford 42's in and boom....10 min and we are getting into a little boost and A/F is dead on.

Is there really some emissions tech inspector somewhere on earth that would actually be able to identify aftermarket injectors on a Turbo Buick?

I've taken my Buick to car shows with dozens of mechanic spectators. And some of these clowns have asked me if my car was stock. I sometimes say "Sure it is! All Turbo Regals came with Twin Turbo Stage motors and giant front mount intercoolers."

I wondered that myself.

A body shop friend wanted to try something different so he used some long strand fiberglass bondo to fill the seams of his block to heads and to water pump on his tilt front '56 Chevy.
At car shows guys were over heard bragging they heard about this NEW one piece block where you put the pistons in from the bottom.
Some people should not reproduce!

As a matter of fact there are. It's their job. It's their job to find the illegal shit, just like it's my job to disguise it. ;)
The thin body injectors would be a dead giveaway. Nothing GM ever used an injector like that.
