RV275 Injectors

[scippy]

With the Edge EZ installed in my truck and stock turbo (aside from my 4" turbo back & DDPP Fass) would the RV275 sticks maximize my gains in "towing" performance?......or, would VP7X9 injectors be a better suit for towing?.....Also, would the 100hp injectors run my EGT's too high for comfort?

may be better to post in the specific cummins forum, I don't know the answer and am new to cummins but would love to find out!

Depends on how you drive really. Injectors are a balancing act with the turbocharger.

I'm a lot older now and don't get my foot into it like I would years ago, (not that you'd hate to get stuck behind me on a one lane road lol)
but, can I mix 100 hp sticks with stock turbo haulin' 14k worth of boat & trailer ..........I guess the balancing act would be monitoring EGT

Being as this truck has a hy35 I would not. If it was an hx35 I would say go for it.

 

[scippy]

OK stock hy35 won't cut it, but hx35 for 100hp injectors would.........so for stock turbo hy35 what would be (in your opinion) the max?....rv275's ??

 

[jlbayes]

With the edge ez, yes.

So I ordered the Bosch RV2-75 Injectors....I was thinking of installing them myself (not a wrencher, but mechanically inclined) what degree of difficulty would you say to install?
from 1 to 10 ???.............Thnx, Scippy

3 or 4. Takes me about an hour to do them. 2 to 3 hours for a first timer. Make sure to get new connector tube orings as well. I pull the lines off the pump as it is easier than trying to fight them and the connector tubes. The lines come off in two 3 piece sets.

OK, thanks! ......How about replacing the injector tubes (you call them connector tubes same thing right?) Should I replace them since they'll be out
anyway when I'm installing new injectors?.......found some new ones on e-bay.

 

[jlbayes]

I would not buy them from ebay. They are likely to be China crap cast. I have not had to ever replace mine but they were always in great shape.

 

[scippy]

Yea, If I have to replace I'll go with genuine Bosch tubes there not much more then the ones on e-bay.
