Re: Replacement fuel injectors
There is a formula to calculate the correct injector size for your engine.
It is not an exact science. You have a range that you can use, but there are
drawbacks to going too big or too small. To calculate the minimum required
injector size, all you really need is the peak horsepower of the engine.
From there, it is a simple calculation. An engine requires 1/2 pound of fuel
per horsepower per hour, so from there you can use this simple formula:
Injector size(LBS./HR) = (Engine HP/(2*No. of cylinders*.85)
Using the specs from the Jeep website, a current 4.0 I-6 makes 190HP. So,
plugging that into the formula you would have:
Injector size = 190/(2*6*.85) or 18.63
The .85 is there to account for an 85% duty cycle on the injectors. This is
the maximum recommended duty cycle.
Considering that the engine power ratings these days are net, and they take
into consideration the drivetrain losses, your engine actually makes more
power than the net rating. In that case the 19LB injector is marginal. I
personally wouldn't run them and would stick to the 21LB or even look for
the next size up, which I believe is 24LB. Going to a larger injector won't
hurt anything, unless it is way too big, but going up a size or two won't
cause any problems.

Re: Replacement fuel injectors
I thought that leaking was fixed with new o-rings ...
PS
I'd go ahead and use the injectors you bought and avoid redesigning the
system by getting some with a different rating. My guess is that you have a
late-production motor that uses the next year's injectors. This shouldn't be
a big deal. I suspect the injectors you have have been changed in some way
over the previous part number, but the two can be interchanged.

Re: Replacement fuel injectors
O-rings aren't always the cause. The first couple of leaking injectors I
went through changing the o-rings first and the injector continued to leak.
After changing the injector, the leak stopped. Three leaking injectors
later has made me very efficient in removing injectors and pretty good at
noticing when it is the injector that is leaking. I can pop them in and out
in about 15 minutes.

Re: Replacement fuel injectors
O-rings aren't always the cause. The first couple of leaking injectors I
went through changing the o-rings first and the injector continued to leak.
After changing the injector, the leak stopped. Three leaking injectors
later has made me very efficient in removing injectors and pretty good at
noticing when it is the injector that is leaking. I can pop them in and out
in about 15 minutes.
