I wonder how much money it would take and how hard it would be to get a pool up, pick a couple of test trucks, and sort through this whole injector thing. I am constantly seeing injector threads re-hash the same old things. How about a definitive, test a bunch, post the results, and make a sticky out of it approach. I have spent over $12k on injectors and currently own 1 set. It would be nice to weed out the bad and the redundant, and give the business to the places that really make good stuff. Maybe then they could expand and make even better stuff. I'll donate $500 to the pool and offer to test p-pump conversion injectors on a twins platform truck.
 
I do not have any problems with injectors. But there are many that do.
 
i bet it dont matter who you buy from every once in a while someone will get a bad set or they got installed wrong, It really only matters that the company make good on them and stand behind their products that i feel makes a good product and a company that i would recommand again to someone else

We have a few test mules down here, plus a dyno. I still need to try the 024's compared to the 191's too.
 
Better QA would help.. But sounds good RonA hope you can make it happen
 
I'm sure it's just a pipe dream.

16.3 is a great 1/2 mile time Chris. I'm envious.:hehe:
 
Something like this could prob be done with just swapping existing sets.

All the guys with 200 horse sticks dyno, as soon as you get off the dyno start pulling your sticks, rotate through them, that way it wouldn't really cost any more than the dyno time.

If you limit it to guys running the same sized injectors it shouldn't be that tough. At least in my head. Same size sticks from different makers, use the sticks guys already have, that way we know that the trucks run fine with that size already.

Except for Tyler and Chris, the Jester Twins!LOL

It would be hard to tell a company to supply a certain hp injector for a back to back comparison in my opinion. Common sense would lend to the idea of sending a larger set than requested to edge out the others.

Clever.......

Ron, are talking about just 24 valve injectors or 12 valve and CR injectors too? That can add up to alot of $$$$$ really fast. Personally I'd like to get a definitive answer to the spray angle on DDP's 12 valve injectors.

Just don't tell them what you are using them for.

Thus my thinking behind using guys that already have the sticks. Takes the possibility of a shop trying to sneak something bigger/custom into the test.

I believe you should be able to buy an injector knowing a few things; the nozzle style, the spray pattern, the hone size, the amount of lift, and the opening pressure. The consumer should have this information, I would certainly feel better spending my money if I did. The choice as to whom to get them from should be dictated by price, quality, and customer service, or atleast that is my opinion.

I agree 100%! Kind of a side note, but unfortunately the diesel world is all about secrets which is total BS! I grew up in the gas world and when building an engine you pick your cam, carb, pistons, all of the motor based on what you want to do. Not buy cam #1, #2, or #3 and hope they do what you want. Injectors should be the same way, buy what you want and know exactly what you are putting in your truck.$.02

I agree, it would make it much easier to identify which changes to try and also determine what changes worked better than others...
