Title: which injectors and glowplugs to run?
Post by: dieseldubber on July 05, 2008, 06:37:56 pm

Hey guys I am going to do my glow plugs and install new injectors. I figure they are the original ones (the injectors) and instaling new ones will help reduce the black death smoke(clean air filter,fuel not turned up yet and I use stanadyne lubricity/cetane boost in every tank). I would like to mod the car to perform like a stock GTI and already have the 3'' turbo back exhaust. I read that Dave at passenger can tune the cars so they don't smoke much. Which injectors will match my goal of having a peppier daily driver, do I just use stock ones? Thanks.

well the GTD ones that smog sells are probably good for an extra 5 hp or so.  at least thats what my butt dyno tells me  8)  :lol:

Giles is the man for serious pump tuning though.  and if your pump has never been touched, it might be time for a rebuild anyway  :wink:

get Bosch Duraterms for glowplugs.

You are getting complete injectors right? not just the nozzles?

I've seen "GTD nozzles" listed as SD274 and also SD276... I believe SD293s are the generic 1.6 replacement nozzle most jobbers are carrying these days ??
