fuel injectors ??

[ja2487]

Hi can anyone let me now if i can put 16v injectors in to my 8v 20l gti i have been told that thay will fit and give me better performance any info would be great thanks ja.

It's new to me.

wont make proper power gains, if it has any effect it will be purely overfueling which isnt a good thing, if it were that simple more ppl would be doing it

Thanks over fueling bad will have to look in to getting more power some other way ..

the injectors will fit (but so would cosworth one's!) but you can't beat the ecu (and all the sensor's that give the signals)
If you want more power it depends how much you want to spend! For true power you need supercharger's etc

All you will do is dump more fuel in and in the end damage something.

Will they even fit?
8v are traditional back feed type, where 16v are stubby side feed type....so I'm not sure they'll even fit.

I'm waiting for danny_p to get back to me on telling me what saab injectors I need, he thinks it was the 9000 turbo. They are bosch green injectors and are a straight swap over from the current 8v ones. However I now I'm underfuelling very badly (17:1) so I would beneft from larger injectors, but I've got mods to suit the bigger injectors, you don't so if you start dumping more fuel in you will just end up with bad fuel economy, no power gains, more backfiring and possible terminal damage to the engine. Unless you NEED to get bigger injectors then I'd leave them well alone.

I don't think you need bigger injectors, standard injectors will be fine, fueling can and will be sorted with a remap.

+1 the standard injector should be fine for the amount of fuel youll need, they will just have to be open for longer/ saab injectors will output more in a shorter time, its all down to the mapping
