Accel 26lb Fuel injectors any Good?
Summit has a set of 8 for $260. Are they any good...also, is there another source where I can get a set of 26lb injectors for my '97 LT1 for a good price?

Stay away from Accel injectors.
Get 24# or 30# Ford SVO injectors. The 24#ers actually flow about 25.3 on our pressure. You can also get these cheaper than 260. |

Hey Ion, it's a pleasure to hear from such a "legend" in the LT1 performance arena. Do you have a reason why Accel is not any good? Also, I tried searching for Ford SVO injectors, but couldn't come up with an accurate find. If you can lead me to a source, that would be appreciated.

madwolf why you say that about accel?

Re: Accel 26lb Fuel injectors any Good?
Hardly a legend ;), but here is a link to the injectors you want. Summit also sells these.
Accel injectors are just not very consistent in my experience, they don't respond very well to tuning and some people have lost engine due to some of them getting stuck open. |

Accel injectors = HELL NO! :mad:

Search function is your best friend!
Accel Injectors I posted this about 5 days ago..May steer you in the right direction! If not, I have 7 30lb Accel injectors I will sell you cheap :) Thanks Cody |
Re: Accel 26lb Fuel injectors any Good?
Honestly, I would get 30#'s even on a stock bolt on motor.. I had the red-tops (30#'s) in my 383 and even at 110% duty cycle on the dyno, it was pig ass rich, so I know they can support quite a bit..
P.S. This was the dyno that happened just before Ion was able to get a tune to me.. After I got his tune, I was seeing like 80%DC on my 383 @ 6500rpms. Your the man Ion! |
Re: Accel 26lb Fuel injectors any Good?
Yea, but I've read many posts stating that 30lb'ers are way too much for a stock tune causing an overly rich condition which will eventually foul the plugs and destroy the expensive O2 sensors. Don't want to risk all that.
I get varying reports that the stock injectors for the '97 were either 24 or 26 lb ones. |
Re: Accel 26lb Fuel injectors any Good?
You can use a larger injector on a stock car. You just have to let the computer know what your running.
|
Re: Accel 26lb Fuel injectors any Good?
If you have different injectors you need a tune, it's not optional.
Racetronix has a lot of injectors for sale. I have never used them, nor have I known anyone that used injectors for them, but I found some pretty large injectors for under $300 a set. |
Re: Accel 26lb Fuel injectors any Good?
I have Racetronix injector and I'm very happy with them. The price was great on top of that.

Here's what I ordered....
http://www.gefracing.com/Merchant2/m..._Code=50INTAKE Just so I wouldn't buy from a Ford site, Summit matched the price. Summit was selling the exact same model for $219. A lot of others I've asked did say that these Ford injectors were one of the best for the LT1. Go figure! LOL |

Re: Accel 26lb Fuel injectors any Good?
Those 24lb Ford injectors go for $100 shipped all day long with little or no miles on them. www.corral.net is the place.

Re: Accel 26lb Fuel injectors any Good?
Why would you go with stock sized injectors? :confused: You can get 28lb racetronix from thunderracing for $200.

Re: Accel 26lb Fuel injectors any Good?
Right now, I want to get the car running smooth in the stock mode. A couple of my injectors are acting up, hence my decision to replace all 8 (70K miles on the original ones). When I do get the money (after my wife finds another job!) I'll be investing as much as I can afford for some mods like LT headers, and a hot cam with new heads, 1.6 roller rockers, and most likely a 3000RPM stall TC. This will most likely not happen until about 1-1/2 years from now. At this time, I'll also get HP, hig flow injectors as well as a PCM tune.
