Magnus or John D. have to adapt anything to make accel injectors work.

[slacker69]

I am going to buy new injectors since i am doing a cam as soon as comp cams gets them instock. I got 6 LT1 injectors but the wireing harness hor them is different so i am stick right now with the stock injectors off. I see that yall both have accels and i was wondering if yall had to modify anything to make them work or they are just plug and play. Also is there another injecter out there that yall recommend that i should be lookin at and i assume 24lb'ers are enghough

I remember Magnus saying that he wishes he would have gotten the LS1 injectors instead of the Accel 24 #ers. Maybe you should look into getting LS1 injectors?

[slacker69]

well i took out one of my stock injectors and now i cant get it back into the fuel rail i thought i had it on there and then i tried to start the car and the injector shot off the rail and fuel went everywhere

I didn't have to modify anything to get the accel's in there.

Don't know about the lt1's. I believe there are only 2 wires, so you could probably cut and splice, if you had the lt1 ends from the lt1 harness.

As far as the injector shooting out of the rail, if the o-rings are on, and the rail is bolted down, I don't know how the injector would come out...? There is 40-50psi behind them, but the rail should hold the injectors down in the hole on the intake.

The 24's are about 10-15% bigger than stock. The accel site lists recommendations for injectors for different cars. It seems like they list 28's for turbo buicks, but I wasn't comfortable going that big, not knowing what kind of n/a and part-throttle issues I would be getting into. 28's would be about 25-30% bigger than stock.

I hear cobras run 24's, according to a mustang guy at work.

From what i have been reading and hearing i bet ls1 injectors will work with the 98+ v6 and the pre 98 will have to use lt1 injectors

[slacker69]

2000+ v6 camaros use a different injector as a 99 and below i just founf this out yesterday when i was working on a frends car. I will take some pics of the injector wireing harness i have and the injector wireing harness the ls1 has.

[Ironman24]

Interesting info on the injectors. I have a 98 3.8 and I'm using 97 LT1 injectors.

So will some LS1 injectors fit the 2000 and up 3.8 harness?

IMHO 24's should be plenty, I'm leaning my base out by 10% and still running rich with the 24lbers. And SVO's flow even more.

[slacker69]

No the Ls1 injectors use the same wireing harness as the Lt1 and the same as the Ford SVO. I found a set of injectors that will work form a 2001 5.3L truck but they are to short i would have to modifiy the fuel rail in order for them to work.

[SLOWBRAEATER]

I have a 96 3.8 would a set from a 98 and 99 ls1 connect on my wiring harness?

[slacker69]

If you have the same wireing harness as the 99 does a big plug and not a small pinned plug then yes. That is the common size plug that the LS1's use and Ford uses. SO i will say yes. The only car i have seen without that plug is year 2000 3.8L all the ls1's i have seen have the big style plug that the 99 and below use.

Hey slacker if those LT1 injectors dont work for you let me know and I will take them off your hands.
