Jerry, the older 13B NA (post 1986) used 460
cc/min (Peak and Hold - Low resistance) injectors approx 42 lbs/hr
(this is what I fly with). The first turbo units used 550 cc/min injectors
(saturated types - higher resistance), I have flown with these but found I did
not like the idle as well as the 460 cc/min units so reverted.

size, and redrive losses
Mark, is your engine a N/A 13B? Do the 550s equate to a little
more than 50 lbs/hr? That is hugh. Did you find the 42 lb/hr injectors to be
too small? Lastly, can someone tell me the size of the stock Mazda injectors?
Thanks, Jerry

Jerry,
I
bought a set of eight 42# Ford injectors but in the end, wasn’t able to use
them and went with the 550’s.. I gave $320 for the set and would let
them go for my cost. I’ll split the set if someone else wants the
other four. They have about 5 hours on them. If you’re
interested contact me off line.

Ken,
after spending the day calculating injector sizes, I ended up coming to the
same conclusion that you did. The Ford 42 lb are perfect for my application.
P.L. recommended 50 lb injectors but for 225 hp they are too much in my
opinion. Unfortunately Ford Racing is out of stock. Damn. Jerry

Jerry,
the Ford injectors are not directly compatible. Here are the
details:
ENGINE SIDE FUEL RAIL SIDE
Ford
0.55"
0.55
Mazda
0.65 (with the FAT Mazda rubber ring)
0.435
Note that
the electrical connector is the same (center spline top/inside and center
lower outside). So, the Ford injector will hook up electrically but
the fuel connectors must be different.
