V8 injectors are standard Bosch top feed with a special spray pattern.
Anything the fits a 5.0 Ford is a direct physical swap. The tip doesnt make a
difference other than a very small decrease in emissions under certain condition.
Fact: 20v 200's and S-car port profiles are identical to a V8 from the injector
position to the valves and both use normal spray pattern injectors.
Suggestion......
Use an adjustable FPR to drop the base fuel pressure from 4 bar to 2.5 or 3
bar. Install injectors sized to compensate for the lower pressure. Several
good sources online for calculating what size you'd need. Use a BEGI rising rate
regulator to handle boost fueling.
Advantage
Much lower fuel pump loading under boost because you dont have to raise the
pressure as much for each lb of boost.... Example: With stock sized
injectors/base pressure setting you might have to raise fuel pressure 8 or 9 psi per lb
of boost, for 6 lbs you would be well over 100psi. With the larger
injectors/lower base pressure setting you may only need to increase pressure 6 or 7 psi
per lb of boost for a total of 79-85 psi FP assuming a 3 bar base pressure
setting.
A pretty obvious safety factor there too.
Yes, I've spent a minute or 3 researching this subject.
