04.5 injectors adding 100hp/4-6 mpg?

[geusterman]

Bob... I had pm'd you some days ago with the question as to what you see the differences being between the F1 version and the ones that started this thread. Thanks, George

 

[Bob Wagner]

George, both injectors would be extrude honed and the only difference may be in horsepower and mileage gain claim.



I've been away for a few days, sorry for the delay

 

[geusterman]

Thanks Bob... what is the claim for the F1's? George

 

[Bob Wagner]

George, The horsepower levels are 60 - 80 - 100

 

[geusterman]

Bob... what do they say about EGT's and mileage improvements? George

 

[Diesel Nut]

if mileage is accurate, I'll take aset for my 305/555.

Bob... what do they say about EGT's and mileage improvements? George

Egt's are maintained at lower levels, no mileage claim since results will vary.



4-6 mpg gain is unreal in my opinion,

 

[OT-OF-HERE!!]

Are these the injectors through DCX? Part number pls??

 

[SOLER]

What's the latest word on these?

What's the latest word on these?

Yeah, what he said.

 

[geusterman]

The latest is that the claims are bogus. After much ado (driving to Spokane, dyno testing across the street from Dishman Dodge, installing the injectors at Dishman by Chad Riley from Pasco (Diesel Performance Unlimited), another dyno test (60hp increase) and proceeding back to Mount Vernon at the same time of day and climbing the same hill outside Ellensburg for EGT test (camper on truck) and doing the same speed all the way home. Results? Same mpg but increase in EGT's by 150 degrees on hill climb. Big deal. But... believing it might just be a little headwind or... . I made some mpg runs on I-5 at 16. 7 and after reflash at 17. 8. I liked the hp but not for $2000. So they came out in August and my factory injectors re-installed in Pasco. Josh from Dishman very apologetic and not willing to work with Diesel Performance Unlimited anymore. Chad Riley actually argued that he had not made the claims! Josh supported me. There you have it. Too good to be true... is usually too good to be true. I think it was Dave doing the dyno testing on the install and his comment was "sounds like snakeoil. " Dang... it was.



Bob Wagner is talking about another product than the ones that started this thread.

I've had a set in mine for the last 2 months and they work great!I picked up about 2. 5 mpg and it does not matter much how I drive. They do lay down a pretty good cloud if you get in it to hard when starting off.

This sounds great. I hope to be able to get my hands on a set of these injectors before too long. At the rate this thing burns fuel and dogs it up hills, I hope something can help.

I really got a kick out of this statment when i read your sig.
