Bosch Injectors

[slimcoyote550]

Hello all,
I'm trying to get my '17 GT ready for dyno tuning.
My main question right now, do I swap out my Bosch 50lbs EV14 Injectors (0280158279) for Ford LU47s, which my local dyno tuner prefers.
Was hoping for opinions/reviews on Bosch.
The car already came with Bosch injectors
GT350 Intake Manifold
Stock Throttle Body
Steeda Intake
Kooks Headers
3" Exhaust to Borla Ataks
SCT X4 with PBD tunes currently
Plan on running 91 sadly
Had to get a new Throttle Body due to mine clicking at idle and getting a P115E-Throttle Actuator Control Throttle Body Air Flow Trim At Max Limit code.
Thank you

EV14

EV14 Injectors Are a size, not not an indicator of fuel flow.

What Bosch injectors do you have? What are the fuel flow numbers for them?

Generally it is best to use what your preferred tuner likes. This in no way makes it correct but the car should run.

Did a search of your Bosch part number and it looks like it is a 50 Lb per hour injector. But I couldn't find any other pertinent info. A good tuner should be able to dial these in for your car, but it will take several revisions and most BIG NAME tuners won't be willing to do this.

Sorry for not clarifying, but yes 50 lb. I couldn't find much info as well. Was based off the code I found on the side of the injectors themselves.
I can understand that, was hoping it being a dyno tune and not remote, it would work out better.

Call Terry @beefcake or @Wengerd Performance and maybe they will be able to save you a set of injectors.

we have plenty of injectors in stock, if your tuner wants 47's , i would go for those

So it sounds like I should swap my injectors to help out the tuner

Or find a real tuner.

That's what another person said on Facebook. I've been recommended and heard good things about this local tuner though. They didn't mention 50 lb injectors being the problem, supposedly they have had issues with Bosch injectors before.
I'd like to try and run these, just wanted another opinion on how "necessary" it would be to change.
So unless there is something wrong with my current injectors, I shouldn't have to change them out?

Nope. The big name tuners are lazy, for the most part. Why work when you can copy and paste.

Ok that makes sense. I'll try to find out if they will really work with it or not.
Thank you for your input. Just trying to make it easier for the tuner at the same time, less money and work for me to do prior.

Always listen to your tuner over anyone else when it comes to stuff like this.

We have tons of the 47's in stock along with our LP56's which are the OEM 2020 GT500 injectors. They actually cost less than the 47's and flow more. Most reputable tuners have the data to tune for them so it might be worthwhile reaching out to your tuner and seeing if they're comfortable tuning them. If not 47's work great and we can ship either of them today no problem.

This is what my gut was telling me I think. I wanted to just listen to my Tuner, but trying to look for an easy way out.
I called my Tuner again, they highly recommend not running Bosch, injectors or O2 sensors. I mentioned the LP56's, they are comfortable with 47's for my setup, which I believe fits as well.
Was excited to get the dyno session done but I can still be patient.
I'll be buying injectors from @beefcake or @LethalPerformance

Rather get it all done right to make the overall process easier in the end.
Like my throttle body, was debating on replacing with a Used one but felt it was important going New.
Thank you guys for your input!

Ready when you are. They’ll go out today if ordered soon.

Thanks for the order Kaden! Injectors are on the shipping dock leaving in just a few minutes. Made sure to toss a Lethal sticker and coozie in there for you as well.

Definitely appreciate the business!
