Stage 2 180cc Single Shot Injectors

The Full Force Stage 2 injectors are performance diesel injectors designed for 1994-2003 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke engines. These injectors are built with new nozzles, plunger & barrel assemblies, and seals, and come with an 18-month unlimited mileage warranty. Each injector features an 180cc flow rate and your choice of 80% or 100% larger nozzles. The Stage 2 design involves modifying the intensifier piston, a mechanical limiter within the injector. This modification allows the plunger to stroke slightly farther, pushing more fuel through the nozzle during each injection cycle. Additionally, these injectors are converted from a split shot to a single shot design, which is more efficient and powerful than the original split shot system that included a pilot injection for quieter idling. The larger nozzle size in Stage 2 injectors moves fuel more quickly into the cylinder, resulting in a more powerful explosion and increased horsepower. While the 80% nozzle offers a slight reduction in smoke and Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT), the 100% nozzle provides maximum power. It's important to note that larger nozzles can lead to more smoke, particularly at lower throttle when the turbo isn't producing sufficient boost. This condition, often referred to as "lugging," is not harmful but can produce visible black smoke. To optimize performance and manage smoke and EGT levels, custom tuning is highly recommended, and in some cases, required. The product information states that a custom tuned chip is necessary to run these injectors because they are converted to a single shot. Additional upgrades such as an air intake, larger turbo, or bigger intercooler can help burn the increased fuel more effectively. For those seeking a balance between towing and performance with improved fuel economy, the Stage 2 injectors offer a significant upgrade. For California residents, a CARB E.O. Number is on file, making them legal for use in the state.
