drillin the inj. nozzles

[C-Power]

i was thinkin about drilling the injector nozzle holes bigger in my stroker???? we did it to my cuzins cummins and it worked but i wasnt sure if the stock injecotr would have a difference on the powerstroke????Good idea or bad????

im not 100% sure on the 7.3 but on the 6.0 there is only so much you can go before you would want to weld the relive ports shut. it would have to be so small that you would probably just be better off calling up rosewood diesel, DIY injectors. they have just nozzles.

with the obs's its not so much the nozzle's as it is the internals. stage 1's actually retain the stock nozzles just has bigger internals for more flow rate

ohhh ok,,,,well then i might just get the DIY kit for 1's or 2's.....

yeah i dont know much about the 7.3 sticks. i have taken about 6.0 injectors and played with them.

id look into them DIYers and see what happens

Umm do you literally mean using a drill bit on the nozzle?!? That is soooo wrong to do, like not even funny were I could joke about it. The only proper way to enlarge the holes in the nozzle are through Extrude hone(EH) or Electrically Discharge Machine (EDM).

no not a drill bit...my dad works on cars and diesels...hes got a tool to clean and enlarge them...haha kinda like viagra for the injector holes....its a hone.....

[Dieselfever78]

What kind of tool is it? I don't even know of any reputable injection shops that do their own in house work on enlarging nozzles. Its usually sent out to be EH'ed or EDM'd and then sent back.

the machine shop here in town will do all kinds of work like that....we usually send all of our machine work out but my dad used to be a machinest for like 12 years....

Plain and simple no.

And if you're going to do injectors... I'd get hybrids.
