Default WTB: Green top 42lb injectors

Does anyone happen to have a set of the Ford/Bosch 42lb green top injectors laying around they would like to part with? Please let me know. Thanks!

Good luck on that. They're like hens teeth. Every once in a while a "real" set will op up on Ebay, but then they want stupid money for them. If possible I would make adaptors to use the EV6 (?) style, which are WAY more prevalent.

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. Thought I would try my luck here first.

Probably in the 500ish range. I’m close now. From Sharktuning I know my 30lb are just about at their limit and I’ve been considering upgrading my current Eaton roots to a 2.3L twin screw. Jim Corenman has been a great help and he had suggested the 42lb green top injectors to be a good fit with what I’m doing.

Yeah baby!!! If you don't mind me asking what rear wheel numbers are you putting down with the Eaton, and at what boost level? You can PM me if you'd rather not discuss it in public. Plus I don't want to hijack your thread.

470ish with Xpipe, intercooled, Gibson muffler, larger air filter, super MAF, 7 - 8 psi and LOTS of time tuning!

I like the filter set up!

Watch the compression of the tube prior to the MAF. The MAF does not like turbulent airflow entering it. I was hunting down a mild surging for ages before i cam up with an idea that worked perfectly.




then i come to find out that they make a specialized honeycomb material just for the purpose of smoothing turbulent airflow....(im still running my OXO apple slicer!!...)

Wow that a good power level with the Eaton!!! Your setup looks really clean. I like it. Mine is not nearly as clean and tidy. BTW, what kind of filter do you have under there? And is that a belt guard I see over the s/c pulley? I started to make one copying the 03-04 Mustang Cobra but decided it wasn't a priority, so I put it on the back burner.

Thanks for mentioning the airflow issue Tony. I guess I need to address that before I start Sharktuning.

It’s a K&N 5x8.5”, RU 1785 I believe. Quite a bit bigger than what it came with.

Yes, that’s a belt guard. Built that at the same time I built the air box. Probably unnecessary but just another detail. I will probably redo a bunch again when I put the twin screw on. Still a work in progress.

Here is a pic of what it looked like when I got it.
