What do YOU think about injector ballancing???

[gtspowerstroke]

So I'm curious what the general forums opinion is on injector ballancing. I'm curious as to what you think it is, if you think it's necessary, and why you think that.

For example do you think it's just part of overhauling a set of injectors. Or if you think it's something reserved only for high end performance injectors. And what makes you say what you say.

I don't want any debate in this thread. Just opinions. No opinions are dumb opinions so please noone try to tell someone else they are wrong. This is simply a fact finding thead to get an idea what the general concensus is on this topic and to get peoples brains stimulated a little.

I feel it is a necessity. I want to make sure your injectors are all flowing the same amount of fuel to insure the stress on the engine internals are all identical. If I have one injector flowing more fuel, like a friend of mine did, rods like to exit the block and mess all kinds of things up.

Yes, when I bought my injectors, the were flow matched.

If I bought a DIY kit from rosewood and rebuilt my injectors, where could I take them to get them balanced?

I believe just like strokin does. They SHOULD be balanced just so everything in the motor is even in every cylinder.

i agree , if the means is there to get it done, then by all means it would be a good idea

Cary my opinion doesn't count in this thread. I'm trying to get the general consensus of what those on the forum believe. I've heard a lot of people say they didn't think it was necessary and others think it's needed. I'll start a new thread in a few days with a write up on my opinion. I just want to get some discussion going on this to get people thinking about it in a productive matter.

But in the mean time what's YOUR take on it?

Stroking, WOW they would have had to have been WAY out of wack for that to be the cause of it. As the injector just flowing more fuel or was it something more like a lower O-ring let go filling that cylender with fuel?

Let me throw one more question out there. What do you guys think makes them out of ballance?

to add to this , im not sure and i dont think factory injectors are balanced , i may be wrong but i doubt they are , i would think that high powr level than stock would be good to do, but as far as just swapping a factory injector for one thats worn, it may not be necesary

Ok so I believe maybe the lower stages of a DIY type wouldn't NEED to be, but obviously it sure would make me feel good inside. Now it could be a bunch of different little stuff or one big thing to throw them out of whack couldn't it? All the little stuff add's up to when were talking in CC's.

I also highly doubt that the factory balances them before putting them out because it would jack the cost up on an already ridiculously priced injector.

Also when tuning a truck out of balance. Say they only read what 1 cylinder was reading, now say that one cylinder was on the low end of the balance and you tuned it for that one, couldn't that make your injector pumping the most fuel VERY hot?

I'm not a master of injectors and don't claim to be but I want a little input from the guys that do know injectors to chime in on just HOW bad it could be to have them out of balance.
