24v 2nd Gen Cummins 6x.010 SAC 155° Injector – Set

Power Driven Diesel 2nd Gen Cummins 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.

What’s the difference between 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 injector 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 6-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 6 and 7-hole are minimal until 3000 RPM. Overall, the 7-hole injector is by far the most common, and is the best choice for most 24v applications. 6-hole injectors may perform better on trucks running a lot of boost and at higher 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 24v trucks with stock pistons will run best with a 153° spray angle, but injectors between 150° and 155° are used very successfully 24v trucks.

Today, we offer a wide assortment of performance injectors with spray angles tailored to your application.
