01 5.0--injector size?

[Punisher302]

hello, gents. i recently acquired a complete 5.0 engine out of a 2001 explorer and was curious as to what size the injectors are.

i know the heads are the gt40p's, so i figured the injectors to be 24#ers.

anyone know what size they are?

probably orange in colour, if so 19lbs, I think only 460s and 93 Cobras etc had 24s in the older models. Turbo-Coupes had like 38s? in the wrong impedence and 89-93 SC Thunderbirds had 30s and 94/95s had 36s

 

[Punisher302]

actually, they're a slight off-white--cream, almost. i wouldn't say they're orange.

any of these?

 

[Punisher302]

actually, yes, the color is very close to the first ones (17#), but i don't understand why ford would put 19# or even 17# injectors on the 5.0 w/ gt40p heads and intake..??


is there a table or list where i can compare the numbers on the injectors to?

My stock injectors on my 98 gt40 -p were 19's, just like the orange and black on left-

I now have the beautiful green and black ones---

table? one way is send an injector out to a diesel or fuel injection place to test the flow, but someone should know what it would flow off hand

i agree--hence why i was hoping you explorer guys would know.

no one seems to know on the mustang sites i'm apart of.

I have the skinny black EV6/EV6 injectors, but they sure aren't 24's! :

beats me, so they are the newer thin pencil style injectors or the older thicker ones? do you have a part number off them?

 

[Punisher302]

don't have a part # right now, but they're the newer, pencil style, not the older fat ones.

I have a 2000 Mountaineer with the 5.0 liter engine as well. Right not I have a Magnaflow exhaust, Torque Monster headers, Cold air intake, and an SCT tuner. I only run 91 octane or above, though usually I'll run at least 93 octane.

My question is, what are generally the benefits and drawbacks to swapping to a heavier injector? I'm tinkering with this idea, but trying to find as much info as possible before I do.

I've read that I may could bossibly see better performance off the line and at higher RPM's, but that idle may not be a stable. Can anyone confirm any of this information or add anything of significance?

 

[Turdle]

They would not help. The only reason to increase fuel injector rate is if the present ones fail to deliver enough fuel. The stock injectors should be good for even a mild cam.

Does anyone know the factory cfm for the stock injector nozzles on the Cologne 4.0l pushrod engine?
