Lucas Injectors Question

[Tim1]

Bd part number 1040171 with a number of 9329 in the injector itself, are these 300 hp marine injectors. The reason that I ask is that I would like to be educated when I talk to people about these injectors. This truck really runs outstanding with these,little smoke,but not bad. And do I need to turn my pump back to factory spec. s for longivity of the pump, or has the bigger injectors allowed the pump to flow more easily? This may be a dumb question, but I haven't seen it here. How about it Piers,or Joe, or Powerwagon, got a minute? Thanks fellas Tim

As a rule of thumb, if you didn't turn the screw to where the idle speed increased with the stock injectors, you are pretty much OK. That is usually around a turn.



Why would anyone ever turn a pump down



Those Lucas parts are good injectors; I tried them and they should be as good as the 370s are for the second gen.



I am playing with some Diesel Dynamics insane in the membrane injectors based on a Bosch nozzle that is even bigger

They put out so much fuel I couldn't burn more than a small part of it at the cold, windy Pahrump dyno day.

Thanks Joe for the reply, by the way, what oil filter do you recommend? Hope this isn't prying! thanks Tim
