Power Driven Diesel PowerJet 12v 1994-1998 Injectors are built, tested and calibrated to exacting standards at our shop in Utah, ensuring high quality and consistent performance before they go out the door. From daily drivers, to work trucks, to dedicated competition vehicles, our injectors have proven themselves. Each set of injectors comes with new sealing washers, or a complete installation kit is optional as well.
Would you like to know more? Our tech support staff frequently receives these common questions about injectors:
What’s the difference between 5-hole, 6-hole, and 7-hole injectors?
For a given flow amount, an injector with a smaller number of holes and a larger hole size will develop a more powerful jet of fuel, which will penetrate deeper into the piston bowl. This means the fuel jet will have some resistance to ignition until it is farther into the bowl. Conversely, an injector of the same flow amount, but with a larger number of holes and smaller hole size will produce a finer spray of fuel, which doesn’t penetrate as far into the bowl but ignites more readily. The amount of bowl penetration that is ideal depends on the RPM and boost level of the application.
At low RPM, the 7-hole nozzle atomizes the fuel into the charge air better, which results in increased burn efficiency. However, there is a cross-over point around 2000 RPM where the deeper penetration of the 5-hole injector is required to maintain burn efficiency at higher levels of boost and RPM, as the charge air conditions in the bowl become increasingly dense and turbulent. While apparent, these differences between 5 and 7-hole are minimal until 3000 RPM. Overall, the 5-hole style injector is by far the most common, and is the best choice for most 12v applications. 7-hole injectors may perform better on lightly-loaded trucks running at lower RPM.

What is spray angle, and which one is right for me?
Spray angle, or spray pattern, is another variable in the injector equation. This refers to the built-in cone angle of the injector nozzle itself. Normally, injector spray angle and piston bowls should be matched for optimal performance. Generally, 2nd-gen 12v trucks with stock pistons will run best with a 145° spray angle. When mixing and matching spray angles and piston bowls, one must be careful. Putting 155° injectors in an engine with 145° pistons will result in high EGTs and a very hazy, smokey exhaust due to the fuel spraying outside the bowl. The notorious marine 370hp injectors used in days past have a 155° spray pattern, and gave performance injectors a bad name for a long time. On the other hand, we have had good results running 145° injectors in 155° piston bowls. This is especially apparent on builds with high injection timing.
Today, we offer a wide assortment of performance injectors and nozzles with spray angles tailored to your application.

180 pump 12v, .024 dv, ported, he351/472, 20 deg
I replaced a set of cheaper (but new) 5×014 VCO with the PJ stage 2s
Wasn’t thrilled with the surface finish( corroded bodies)
But the performance of these injectors far surpassed the 5x.014. Noticeable change in engine tone. Slightly stronger idle. Snappier throttle response. I had major haze issues before which is cut down 50-60% now. Hot idle haze is all but gone. Runs every bit as strong and maybe even stronger than before. Truck is fun to drive again without having to worry about the smoke show. Great product!!

I got these fuel injectors in June, put them in, and WoW! They work Great with my 62/65/14 turbo, very responsive, truck is much smoother at any throttle. Got a big jump in power with less smoke all the time, and EGT’s are the same or less at any throttle position than with the stock 215 injectors. I am very happy with these PowerJet Stage 1’s and I don’t think anyone could go wrong with a set of these.
