The injectors are the same for 1987 - 1995, so no...changing them will make no difference. The injectors for the newer HO's ('97 & up) are completely different and won't work.

Actually they are different... the static flow is different among the Renix/HO motors. It is a worthy swap to swap in a set of HO injectors on the Renix motor IMHO.

 

Model Year Part Number Color Fuel Pressure Static Flow

1987-1990 53003956 Black 39psi 18.6lb/hr

1991-1993 33007127 Brown 39psi 21.0lb/hr

1994-1995 53030343 Tan 39psi 21.0lb/hr

1996-1999 53030778 Grey 49psi 23.2lb/hr

1999-2006 04854181 Blue Tip 49psi 22.5lb/hr

 

The injector flow rate varies as the square root of the pressure drop across the injector. The stock '91-'95 4.0 injectors are rated at 22lb/hr @ 43psi fuel pressure, so at 39psi they flow ( sq. rt.(39/43) x 22.0 = 21.0 ).

But still...why change the stock injectors for other stock injectors that are going to make very little difference according to those numbers. The Ford injectors are much better and will make a significant difference for less money and the same injector works for '87 - '95 :cheers: .

Well it really depends on what Ford Motorsport injectors you use. Neither of them are THAT much better...

 

The only major benefit is the pintel design on the Ford injectors vs. the Chrysler one's. Not saying that the Ford one's are a bad upgrade, you just have to be careful on the Renix motor's of dumping to much fuel in.

 

Ford Motorsport 19.0lb/hr @ 39psi (Part no. FMS-M9593-C302)

Ford Motorsport 24.0lb/hr @ 39psi (Part no. FMS-M9593-A302)

:agree:

The 19lb Design II injectors are the ones that work well in the '87 - '95 4.0L engines...whcih is what I linked to. The 24lb injectors are for strokers. The 4 hole design of the Design II is what makes is do much more effective. My MPG increased by about 14% in the MJ when I used them and by about 8% in my '95 YJ when I installed the same ones in it.

Not really "power" per-say, but it did make a difference in acceleration & idle smoothness as well as the afore mentioned MPG gains. I am sure there is some gain, but something like this is going to be minimal improvement on HP...5-6 maybe, but just a guess. ;)

would used ones be a waste of money
ABSOLUTELY!!

You will just be getting another set of injectors that are dirty and restricted like what you have already. I tried the used injector thing in the MJ before I found Precision Auto Injectors and they did nothing.
