View Full Version : Modded Injectors; I know, I know
Murphdog 12-05-2004, 12:46 AM I have been searcing for hours now and heve yet to find what I need to know. I want add my turbo back exhaust, Walbro fuel pump, VF34 turbo and I want to Modify my Injectors, all on my 03'. What I would like to find out is if I cut the caps on my injectors and make it flow over 800cc is that going to be to much even after I use the VF34 map from COBB.
Wzcb08 12-05-2004, 12:54 AM YES it will be way too much.. A map that is designed to run rich with 565cc injectors used to run 800cc is a bad idea. Your injectors will be dumping at least 41% extra fuel throughout your whole powerband using a cobb map.
Murphdog 12-05-2004, 01:15 AM What would you suggest I do, just get the Pink Injectors or is there someone out there that can modify mine to flow what I need. I just hate to have to spend $400 to $600 dollars when I could hopefully get it done cheaper.

Unabomber 12-05-2004, 01:33 AM Cheese and Rice dude. Get off the wallet for the $400 injectors or you will be buying a new $2000 motor. This isn't something you can take a shortcut on. :furious:
Murphdog 12-05-2004, 01:36 AM Hell I figured if I could find an injector that worked just as well as a $400 set I would try. So I guess there is no option, but thanks for the info.
cmann14 12-05-2004, 05:15 AM I too found it silly to pay $400 for 565cc STi injectors (I heard they are the same injectors as the stock WRX, but with bigger holes in the endcap) when I could get what I needed in 15 minutes with a dremel tool. I'm not a seasoned tuner by any means but I modded mine 4 months ago and I've driven the car to work every (week)day since. No change in mileage or drivability.....though my tires seem to have worn extremely fast since then :)
One other thing - I have a UTEC, which made things quite simple.
wrx plus 12-05-2004, 09:55 AM Unfortunatly with the cobb you will have to get the pinks. Modded injectors can only be used if you have some way to manage the extra fuel.
D_Block 12-05-2004, 11:40 AM ^^What he said. If you are gonna stick with Cobb, either get the pinks or you can wait for the cobb street tuner. Its due to come out summer/fall 2004:lol:
dosage0 12-05-2004, 02:53 PM 2 options:
Buy Pinks for your Cobb
Buy a UTEC or equiv... Hydra AEM etc

thetikler1 12-06-2004, 03:25 AM and if you do mod your injectors it is a good idea to have them flow tested. My buddy modded his injectors and wasn't running the same flow value for all of them. i would go with the pink (no sexual inuendo intended) especially if you plan on running teh cobb map.

Murphdog 12-06-2004, 03:57 AM I do appriciate the help I think I am just going to go with the pinks for now, thanks again.

Good call, as Unabomer said its not worth it if you dont save any money in the long run ;)
