Replacement Injectors Fg Xr6T Ute

[Ekul]

Hi, I am new to this forum and have a few questions about performance improvements.

I have aquired some new Bosch '968' injectors that I got for virtually nothing. Will they fit my standard 2011 FG XR6T ute, I have heard that they are too long?

Is it worth fitting them and getting a re-tune and what sort of output could I expect if they were fitted. I only run 98RON fuel and I have a K&N panel filter. The tune is still the standard factory tune.

I am thinking that this would be a real cheap way to get a few extra ponies without going nuts on bolt-on costs at this stage. The ute has only done about 3000kms so far.

Any advice would be fantastic,

Thanks.

IIRC, you can space the fuel rail and use the taller injectors. Throw in a Cat and do a tune and you should nose over the 300rwkw mark. then the injectors wont be fr off there limits if you want to upgrade down the track.

Thanks Henz,

I am not looking to make my ute into ballistic missile, but as I have the 986 injectors anyway and I realise that to fit them, I am up for the cost a re-map.

If I fit a cat at the same time, I guess the extra cost to include a cat is not going to break the bank, but I still want a reliable vehicle at the end of the day, that is not too high maintainance.

Am I right in thinking that fitting a cat at the same time as the injectors will keep things a bit cooler when burning the extra gas that is producing the power increase, so that the cat effectively improves reliability/efficiency over stock, when higher flow injectors are used?

Which cat would be recomended for my set up and what would it cost?

I don't see myself needing any more than 300rwkW's. I think performance at that level is more than enough for my ability to do anything with it...!

Which area aare you in? Mick @Pit lane recommends balistic cats, I have a Rapid one and its fine. Actually I think user S3XR6T is selling one cheap.

The Cat aids exhaust flow, more flow = less heat and less pressure on valvesprings etc. Will be the differnce between 270-280 & 300!!!

300 is perfect entry level, will run a 12 sec pass and put a smile on your face everytime you drive it.

The cats I'm using at the momment are Outlaws, they are not as cheap as some of the cats out there, but are backed by HM and appear to work well

Sorry Mick, was thinking outlaw. Don't know where I got ballistic from, is that even a brand?
