TJ77280 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I came across some goodies recently and couldn't pass them up. I bought a dewebbed l28et intake with turbo injectors and an aluminum fuel rail. It also had a 240sx ka24 throttle body already on it. I have a basically stock 77 280z l28e I have been battling with various vacuum leaks and fuel leaks due to rotten hoses and leaky injectors. I thought this package would be a nice upgrade and it was a good deal. I have done some research on installing these items, but I was going to ask for advice on the whole package. I've read mixed statements about the turbo injectors and the use of the 240sx throttle body. Any incite or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Time is your problem on the turbo injectors. They flow more fuel for the same amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ77280 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks. That helps clear things up a bit. Any experience with the 240sx throttle body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The 240SX throttle body will be a bigger hole feeding the same 6 small holes. For the same change in throttle blade angle you'll get a larger change in aperture, giving the feel of more power but it won't be real.

TJ77280 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) An increase in power isn't my end goal for this stuff, although it would be an added bonus . If I use this intake I'm committed to converting to a throttle cable since the throttle linkage mounting has been ground off. So do you think my best bet if I want to use this intake is to buy a set of stock injectors and get rid of the turbo ones?

NewZed Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 There's no functional reason to use that intake. Somebody has traded real performance for perceived performance. It will run worse but look faster. You didn't get my point on the turbo injectors. Your stock ECU is programmed for the flow rate of NA injectors. The higher flow rate of the turbo injectors will add too much fuel and you'll be enveloped in raw gas fumes, if the engine even stays running.

TJ77280 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Sorry if I worded it wrong. I get what you mean about the injectors. Unless you can properly tune you will never be able to get the air/fuel ratio. I'm going to get rid of those. My injectors are old and 1 leaks. I also have and a bunch of unnecessary vacuum hoses causing leaks I was hoping to eliminate by installing this intake. Plus the EGR delete. The throttle body just happened to be an added bonus. I get your point. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
