Title: Nozzles
Post by: tmichaud on March 20, 2008, 07:29:58 am

What is the recommended nozzles / injectors to put as an upgrade for a 1996  Golf TD?

The car is stock, with about 250k on the clock.  Looking to freshen them up to get the best mileage, and a bit of a boost in power is always nice  :)

Merc tips have been used with good results.
Quite a few guys have posted the GTD nozzles did nothing notable.

I'm running CASE nozzles, talk about dumping the fuel in.

I just bought some complete injectors from prothe with merc tips and set @ 155bar.

Great link and info.

With those injectors, would there be much more smoke?

any worry about running much hotter?  I don't have an egt gauge yet.

If you add more fuel your going to run hotter.

Better get a gauge so you dont melt you pistons.

As far as smoke goes I cant tell ya I dont have mine yet.
The CASE nozzles I'm running will smoke like a freight train, I dont like it much. Lots of unburnt fuel and it really messes up the back of the car (yuck).
