What size injector with TA-49 Turbo?

[jdavis334]

I'm planning on upgrading to a TA-49 and I'm wondering what injector size is required to run 20-22 psi of boost? I've already installed a walboro 340 fuel pump along with a hot wire kit and I also plan on adding a MAF translator and extender chip.

#36 injectors are a perfect match for a TA-49 or a TE-44. However, if you even have the slightest notion to go bigger on the turbo one day I suggest looking into 42.5's or even 50's depending on what you're looking to do in the long run.

I've been running Blue Tops (Ford #36) for 5 years now and have had no problems running 22psi on race gas with my stock turbo and my TE-44. If tuned properly, this combo can get you into the high 11's.

The 36s are good to about 432 hp whereas the 50s are good to about 600hp. i d go for te 50s as i did on my 84gn with the 49 turbo.

As stated 36# Bluetops are a no brainer, easy to tune combo with a TA49 and a stock longblock and will work great 15-23 psi of boost.

If you have plans to port the heads, go bigger on the injectors, 50 lbs min.
