NNBS 5.3 Injector Swap for boost
#1
Didn't get any responses in the gmt900 section so I'll repost here.
I'm thinking about getting a turbo kit for my '08 Z71 with the LY5 iron block 5.3 and am creating a parts list to get an idea of the total cost of the project and I'm going to swap the stock injectors to some 60lb injectors. I read somewhere that I need to use LS3 injectors for a direct swap with no spacers needed for the fuel rail or modifications to the injector harness. Is this correct? What kind is recommended?
I wish there was a write up to the different engine models and injectors that will work with each combo, along with the necessary modifications needed if you use a different style injector. I've looked for one here and on ls1tech but didn't really see anthing. I maybe overlooked it haha.
Thanks,
Keith
