Progress -N- Pics
Got my ID 1000 injectors installed finally. Spent a few hours making the pigtails then soldering them into place. Was a good time to clean up the engine bay a lil. While at it I re located the MAP and found that the hose connecting it had a hole in it (vac leak).
For tuning, I started with the base IFR given for those injectors. This immediately put my car into reduced power. I scaled them 37% then scaled the VE by .63. Subsequently I then had to scale the VE by another .9 then .98 to get it to idle within a good ball park on STFT's
With only that I took it out for some scanning. MAN I LOVE THESE INJECTORS!!!!! It sure makes all the difference in the world when you have correct data to start with. With no final tuning and my car still running a lil rich in the cruise areas, I noticed a 13 mpg gain. Granted, it may not be as acurate however, with my 60s and same driving conditions, I never saw over 22 mpg on the DIC. With these I see 34 mpg on hwy. I will get a final averaged number after I run out the tank.
I normally will go through a 1/6th a tank on the 30 mile trip to my folks house, the needle did not move from full this time. Definite improvement.
Heres a few pics of the engine bay before and after, as well as the mpg reading.

I'm a little confused with your tuning, I have ID 1000. I've switched back & forth between the ID's & stock LS2 injector's & change nothing other than injector data.
No tuning changes are needed with either injector.
The injector pulse width would not go low enough @ idle with the ID's, that was corrected in the transient table. That has no effect when I try the LS2 injector's.

I installed these injectors yesterday and I must say, tuning them was cake. I've never tuned injectors where the data was sketchy, but I can tell you that if I didn't have the correct data, I'd be screwed if I were on my own. These things cranked on the second turn of the key and the idle felt perfect!!!! Idle VE seems dialed in and I can't wait to go for a drive to make small adjustments.
Anyway, I'd like to give a huge shout-out to both Bret and Jerry. Both of these guys have been a phone call or text away and helped me with questions I had. These 2 dudes are good people to have around this place.
