Mustang Fuel Injectors from Stage 3 Motorsports

Posted by Jason on 6/18/2012 to Just Added

We here at Stage 3 Motorsports would first like to apologize. Our selection of Mustang fuel injectors has been pretty dismal. Until now. We've just partnered up with Venom High Performance to provide some excellent fuel injector options for 1989 to 2004 Mustangs and 2005 to 2013 Mustangs that need uprated fuel injectors to support all of your high-powered modifications. We currently have Venom Mustang fuel injectors rated from 24lb/hr to 80lb/hr flow rates and are more than capable of supporting just about any engine or exhaust modification that you can put on your 1989 to 2004 Mustang or 2005 and up Mustang GT. So, which complete set of fuel injectors is right for you? Well, that depends on your modifications, your desired level of horsepower, and the availability or desire to get custom tuning.

1989 to 2004 Mustang fuel injectors

The easiest way to explain injector needs is to break it all down by injector size. First up, we have Venom's 24lb/hr fuel injectors. These bad boys can support up to 375 horsepower and are an excellent choice for stacking several mild-power adders onto your Mustang. For instance, 24lb/hr injectors are useful when using a combination or air intake and exhaust upgrades, such as pairing our BBK plenum/throttle body and CAI combo package with a complete long tube header and mid-pipe package. Both of these intake and exhaust kits effectively lean out your engine's air/fuel ratio, while the higher fueling rates from 24lb/hr injectors can bring your air/fuel back into a more effective range. Venom's 24lb/hr fuel injectors are also compatible with several of BBK's 1999 to 2004 Pre-Calibrated Mass Air Meters for 24lb/hr fuel injectors that adjust your Mustang's airflow to meet your desired fueling requirements.

A set of Venom 30lb/hr fuel injectors are good up to 385 flywheel horsepower and are an excellent choice when your 24lb/hr fuel injectors just aren't going to cut it anymore. Still, 30lb/hr fuel injectors are good for most of the same situations as 24lb/hr injectors as far as stacking different modifications to increase power output. 30lb/hr fuel injectors will also have sufficient flow rates for low-boost supercharger applications such as ProCharger and Vortech lower-boost centrifugal supercharger systems that don't come with intercoolers, like the 2000 to 2004 Vortech V-3 Si-trim supercharger kit and other comparable systems that don't come with fuel injector upgrades.

Finally we have the Venom 42lb/hr fuel injectors. These bad boys can support up to 600 horsepower and are perfect for putting together a very powerful supercharger tuner kit on top of other extensive modifications. 42lb/hr fuel injectors are also excellent choices for customized engine builds, engine swaps, high-displacement stroker kits, short blocks and other extensive vehicle modifications. 42 lb/hr fuel injectors are enough to push your Mustang stock engine to its absolute limits and will require custom tuning in order to work properly and keep your engine from being damaged.

2005 to 2013 Mustang Fuel Injectors

Well, it's just peachy that the SN95 and Foxy Body guys get to wrench around with new fuel injectors while the S197 kids get stuck with the stockers. The thing with the the newer generation of Mustangs is that they already come with larger injectors than the 1989 to 2004 Mustangs. 2005 to 2009 Mustang GTs came standard with 24llb/hr fuel injectors that can actually support an impressive array of bolt-on modifications without needing to upgrade. 2011 and up Mustangs with their Coyote 5.0L V8s have 38.5lb/hr fuel injectors from the factory and can generally support even more bolt-on Mustang performance parts than the 24 pounders on the older S197s. New fuel injectors are really only needed for superchargers, and even they are packaged in complete kits that usually include fuel injectors and other upgrades. That being said, if you stack on basically every bolt-on modification we have, or you're more into a semi-DIY supercharger tuner kit kind of mood, then we do have a few Ford Racing fuel injectors that you may find useful.

In general, the stock 24lb/hr fuel injectors on 2005 to 2009 Mustangs are good to about 375 flywheel horsepower. While certainly not impossible, it does take a good bit of modifying to get there with bolt-on parts in a naturally aspirated set-up. Once you do hit the mark and have the required tuning, you can jump up to Ford Racing 34lb/hr fuel injectors that will help bear some of the load and keep you running smooth. 34lb/hr injectors are able to handle up 425 horsepower and can also be used for low-boost supercharger applications.

For moderately-powerful supercharger tuner kits or a seriously-built naturally aspirated engine you're going to need a set of Ford Racing 39lb/hr fuel injectors. 39lb/hr fuel injectors are the ''standard'' size for most lower-end supercharger kits and can take up to 475 horsepower reliably on 2005 to 2009 Mustangs.

Larger superchargers, turbo kits, and other moderately to high-powered Mustang performance parts are going to require even larger fuel injectors. Most complete supercharger kits come with 42lb/hr fuel injectors, but if you're putting together a customized tuner kit, then you may want to go with a set of [[Ford Racing 47lb/hr performance fuel injectors that can take up to 550 horsepower, which is enough to max out your factory block on 2005 to 2009 Mustangs and are a sensible upgrade for 2011 to 2013 Mustang GT owners who want to maximize the returns on their supercharger tuner kit or extreme naturally aspirated set up.

Last, and certainly not least, we have the real big boys. Really powerful Mustangs that have pushed beyond the 600 horsepower mark will need a set of Siemens 60lb/hr fuel injectors and if you're Mustang build is beyond 650 horsepower, then you'll need an even more powerful set of Ford Racing 80lb/hr fuel injectors which can support most applications up to 800 flywheel horsepower.

Fuel injector types and adapters

If things weren't complicated enough from an application standpoint, there's also an bit of issue regarding injector connectors and injector types. We carry three different body styles of injector: EV1, EV6, and EV14. EV1 injectors were the stock injector type on 1989 to 2004 Mustang GTs and use a Jetronic/Minitimer electrical connector. EV6 injectors were standard on 2003 to 2004 SVT Cobras and 2005 to 2013 Mustang GTs and use a much more efficient EV6 electrical connector. Even though they're technically different, either type of injector will fit across most 1989 to 2013 Mustangs, but will require a Ford Racing fuel injector adapter in order to connect. For instance, if you wanted to use a set of Ford Racing 47lb/hr fuel injectors with an EV6 body and connector on a 1999 to 2004 Mustang GT, then you'd need to purchase a Ford Racing EV1 harness to EV6 injector adapter. Using an older-style fuel injector on a newer S197 Mustang will require the opposite Ford Racing EV6 harness to EV1 adapter. In general, an EV6-style injector is superior to an EV1 injector of similar flow rate. EV6 style injectors have more nozzles and a more efficient internal structure that provides better fuel atomization over EV1, making EV6 swaps more common on older Mustangs. Still, if you're fine-tuning you fueling and feel that an EV1-style injector works to your advantage, go for it.

Yay fuel injectors, and yay Stage 3 for finally having a decent selection. Keep in mind that fuel injector swaps will require custom tuning or a BBK preprogrammed mass air meter for proper function. Customized supercharger tuner kits and other high-powered upgrades may even require tuning on a chassis dyno in order to get the most power out of your unique setup and to avoid engine damage. Fuel injectors and high-horsepower, high-performance Mustang builds can get pretty complicated, so don't hesitate to contact Stage 3 directly with any questions or concerns.

Hello , I just bought a 2001 GT, this will be my first mod motor, as I have only had fox bodies before with a 302 and stroked 351 with carbs , but want to try my luck with the fuel injected variety, I am rebuilding the bottom end, just back to stock with new Pistons, rings bearings stud kits, and then getting just about every bolt -on I could think of, I have a aluminum qualifier intake with 75mm throttle body and matching plenum, cold air intake, msd coil packs, under drive pulleys, a pair of Anderson motor sports N-22 cams with new valve springs, lash adjusters,, a pair of long tube headers with matching X-pipe with the high flow cats, stage 2 clutch, a lighter chrome Molly flywheel, and aluminum driveshaft and 3:73 gears, and a programmer of some kind with some tunes loaded in, any suggestions on a good tuner/programmer would be great, I was thinking about getting a set of 24lb injectors and the calibrated BBK mass air for them, I was looking at the EV1 style, but after reading your page here I think I will get the newer EV6 style and the adapter, but do you think that 24lb injectors will be fine for what I am doing and would I need a higher flowing fuel pump and/or regulator to go with them? I don't know know if it matters, but I have the Romeo block and the TR 3650 tranny, and sorry for such a long message
