Picked up a set of injectors from the junk yard, just curious what i should watch out for if anything when putting them into my 98 v70xc

I Currently have an mbc and im pushing 10psi so i want a little more power obviously


Thanks guys

Why? Are you going to a 15G/16T turbo?

[Yellow95]

You wont need them at that boost level. Nice upgrade for future plans but unneeded right now.

Well follow up question:

Ive been looking into the turbo from an 850 turbo (not glt) which correct me if im wrong has a 15g and white tops? so is this usable on my car?

[FINN]

Gonna be oranges.

[Yellow95]

Even with the 15G the white tops wont be needed. Your GLT injectors actually outflow (marginally) 850 turbo injectors. If you want to, throw the whites on. Just dont expect any performance gain. There wont be any.

if you throw bigger injectors on your car without tuning for them you will just run rich and get bad gas mileage.

Good to know! So can you guys give me a list of injectors from smallest to largest by color? I tried looking and couldnt find one. And is that turbo on the 850 a 15g? i know it had the t5 ecu

You're kidding, right? Look in the pinned thread & use SEARCH. None of that matters anyway. Unless you are planning on a bigger (than 15g) turbo, there is no need or point, as has been stated.

[Jcbkid]

Whoa slow your row bro, no need to get all anal on me. Ok ill search thank you very much.

[Deimos]

Yes, it's a 15g, no you don't need new injectors, just a proper tune and MBC-delete. Why don't you "slow your roll bro" and do some research before getting random parts?

OP: If you get a 15G out of a 850T to go in your 98 XC your going to need a new down pipe (or modified stock DP). 15G = Conical, im pretty sure 98 turbos are straight flanged so that would be a issue.'

and the T5 ECU from an 850 is Motronic 4.3 vs your XC being M4.4...if you can find a T5 Ecu from a S70 T5 that would be your best bet.

bro, slow down your row bro, bro.

many 15g turbos came with a straight flange. And if he did get a conical version he could just swap over the hot side off his turbo now onto the 15g and not need a new downpipe. In fact he should do that anyways cause the conical flange sucks and should be avoided.

[Jardim]

Never seen a 16T with a straight flange, must be on later year 850 models....but yes i forgot you can simply swap the hotside... the difference is in the compressor side and the wheel....making these TD04s "hybrids"....But id get an ehxaust anyway =P

15G* not 16T

[Aequitas_Veritas]

yeah 96/97 850s had them. Mine had a straight flange stock.

[aggarcia]

Manual trans 850R and later S70 T-5 to name a few had straight flange 16T. Pretty common turbo in fact.

This is what i will do as soon as i get paid, will also revert back to my tcv and run the 850 ecu untill i can find a t5 ecu, thanks for the help guys

[Jcbkid]

In the meantime i was looking into a N/A intake manifold and throttle body as i have heard they were slightly larger than the ones on mine currently, not expecting a huge gain if any but just looking into a few other options. (I already know i can use N/A cams just dont want to do that yet)

Me gots 16T with straight flange, but it is a 98 S70
