hey. does anyone know what size injectors a fs-de engine has??? and can u just swap them out 4 bigger one's??? or do u need to have a aftermarket ecu to tune them in???

02-KQ-LASR · 18-12-2009, 10:30 AM

im not a big fan of those rims marc, there a bit too "rough" in my opinion. the ones you have now are a lot smoother and subtle.
but if your still going with a track sorta theme they would work with that style better and prob save a bit of weight id imagine.

FS-DE injectors are about 260 cc's I think. Unless you are going turbo or doing an insane N/A build, you are highly unlikely to get near the limits of the stock injectors. The MSP's (US turbo versions) use the same injectors we do.

I'm thinking that the stock ECU might be able to adapt to slightly bigger injectors on its own. Not sure how it would affect idle, fuel economy though ...

marcs_sp20 · 18-12-2009, 11:57 AM

arent stock sp20 injectors 240cc? I can remember sleepy gonzalez running 400cc items with no effect to the ecu...

Mad Mat · 18-12-2009, 12:08 PM

but is he getting any benifet from them???

Prolly, I knew that the max flo rate was something around that.

I would say absolutely none. It is purely a capacity issue - if you aren't hitting fuel cut, then you have no need to bigger injectors (in general terms). The stock ECU has AFR targets to hit and adjusts the injector pulses accordingly. If you put injectors that are twice as big on the car, then the stock ECU will halve (approximately) the injector pulses to compensate.

Mad Mat · 18-12-2009, 12:26 PM

oooowwww hmmm ok

thanks darryl so evan still i might look at getting them down the track with some cams so i can dial them all in. hint some big numbers u know

Rix · 18-12-2009, 01:20 PM

what can i use to keep velcro pads on the dash, i have tried tape and sticky pads(foam not the paper ones) and the glue dries and the dash mat just flies off

70NYD · 18-12-2009, 01:47 PM

epoxy? that is to say if u never want to take them of..
3M double sided tape (really no substitute exists)
that clear jelly sht u get on the e-toll tags (govia same sht)

Rix · 18-12-2009, 02:15 PM

I used strong gather tape, just rolled it over its self so it became double sided, the same stuff i used for sealing up my spoiler holes when i was lacking it.

Question is how long until it dries out

Also when was my car before i noticed some mongrel has hit my car with something

RibZe · 18-12-2009, 04:12 PM

What exactly does the 'ECO' button under the A/C button in the BG do?

trust me get some double sided 3M tape (actuall 3M no other "equal brand")
if it comes off in 3 months well **** that will be the 1st time i heard 3M failed..
remember i mentioned this here b4 they use it to hold bits of body kits on some VERY highend cars

Changes the cycle temps so the compressor doesnt cut in as much
