Kudos to Desert Fab

[NVRSTUKXJ]

Big thanx to Todd and Dave at DF for the great work (and price) they did on my 8.8.....they installed the gears, then being the lazy ***** that I am, I had them go ahead and install the thing too......all went well until the day I was supposed to pick it up.....then the fuel injectors thought it would be fun to start spraying gas all over the engine.....so I had them change out the injectors while it was there......the only place they could get the injectors locally was thru the dealership at $70.00 ea ($420.00) for the set....then I remembered a great write up on the ArizonaXJ.com site about using Ford injectors.....located the right part number from the write up and called Summit Racing.....got a set of 8 for $205.00 ($25.00 ea).....had them over-nighted to Todd and he had them in the next day.......XJ rides like a champ now, and the new gears (4.56) are great improvement w/the new 35's.....

Thanx again guys.....you have another very satisfied customer....and thanx to Dave for the ArizonaXJ site and the write up on the injectors; was a great money saver.....

the best part about the whole experience was that Dave was not there when I picked it up......he had mentioned something about wanting to give bare-chested man hugs to celebrate their accomplishments.....:eek:

What is the part number for the Ford injectors?

[Dave@desertfab.com]

'Design III' 19Lb injectors from fiveomotorsport.com, P/N 0280155909 (set of 8 for )



Some of those specs that are hard to find in any workshop manual.

The following is a list of the injectors used on the 4.0L since 1987 along with
their rated static flow:

Model Year, ...Part #, ......Colour, .....Fuel Pressure, ...Static Flow,
'87-'90, ........53003956, ...Dark Tan, ..39psi, .................18.6lb/hr
'91-'93, ........33007127, ...Brown, .......39psi, .................21.0lb/hr
'94-'95, ........53030343, ...Tan, ...........39psi, .................21.0lb/hr
'96-'99, ........53030778, ...Grey, .........49psi, .................23.2lb/hr
'99-'01, ........04854181, ...Blue tip, .....49psi, .................22.5lb/hr

The injector flow rate varies as the square root of the pressure drop across the
injector. The stock '91-'95 4.0 injectors are rated at 22lb/hr @ 43psi fuel
pressure, so at 39psi they flow ( sq. rt.(39/43) x 22.0 = 21.0 ).
For stock/modified 4.0 engines or stroker build-ups the following injectors can
be installed. The flow rates are:

Ford Motorsport 19.0lb/hr @ 39psi (Part no. FMS-M9593-C302)
Ford Motorsport 24.0lb/hr @ 39psi (Part no. FMS-M9593-A302)
Ford Motorsport 30.0lb/hr @ 39psi (Part no. FMS-M9593-B302)
Chevy LT1 24.0lb/hr @ 43.5psi (Part no. 17124248)
Chevy LT4 28.0lb/hr @ 43.5psi (Part no. 17124251)
'98 Chevy LS1 25.2lb/hr @ 58.0psi (Part no. 12533952)
'99-'00 Chevy LS1 26.2lb/hr @ 58.0psi (Part no. 12456154)
'01-'02 Chevy LS1/LS6 28.6lb/hr @ 58.0psi (Part no. 12482704)
Accel 19lb/hr @ 43.5psi (ACC-150819)
Accel 24lb/hr @ 43.5psi (ACC-150824)
Accel 26lb/hr @ 43.5psi (ACC-150826)
Accel 30lb/hr @ 43.5psi (ACC-150830)

The '95 Jeep 5.2 ZJ/Dodge 5.9 injectors (Part no. 53030262) are rated to flow
24.6lb/hr at 39psi.

The selection of injector size will depend on the estimated horsepower output,
brake specific fuel consumption BSFC (assume 0.5), no. of cylinders, and the
injector duty cycle (assume 80% or 0.8). The formula is:

Injector size (lb/hr) = (horsepower x 0.5)/(no.of cylinders x 0.8)

Big thanks to Todd, Dave and the other guys at DesertFab... they took excellent care of my jeep during this busy time around the holidays as Todd cut, bent tube, and welded the custom fenders/radiator hoop/stubby bumper (check out their other thread titled Custom Fenders for the Extreme). The end product is amazing and I'm a happy customer.

Thanks guys,

Ben

I thought that was your Jeep, looks good !

[YGOHOME]

thanks Rich. I've been thinking about it for awhile and after seeing the quality work they did on your jeep I had to get it.

Its funny, because thats the same way I decided to go with the Simply Offroad tire carrier a few years ago after seeing the one they made for your jeep.

[Dave@desertfab.com]

Now if Rich would buy some of our new 3/8's stout diff covers then maybe you'd be convinced to get some too :D

Happy Holidays Everyone and thanks for the Support!!!!

fiveomotorsport.com,
X2 on these guys.

I have done business with them and they are VERY up and knowledgeable, they will overnite if you are in a bind [as I remember they didn't charge me any extra either]. I picked up a set of Ford Racing flow matched 25 lbs for my rig and they have preformed flawlessly. I think he also give a lifetime warranty on them.
