Jeep 4.0L 12 Hole Injector Swap

[@oiiiojeep]

I did installed 12 hole fuel injectors on my xj , it's smoother without a noticeable increase of fuel consumption cruising 100 KPH around 1900 RPM

[@MarkHazen]

Just a tip after you drain the fuel rail. Turn the key a few times to pressurize the fuel rail. Then start the engine. Then use a screwdriver to open the Schrader valve in small burst to purge air trapped in the rail. Use a rag to catch the fuel. This will help minimize rough idle.

[@CharlieMooreVoodooCharlie]

Did this this morning so frickin easy. I already notice better throttle response and better gas mileage. As well as it fixed my problem of long crank. When i removed the original injectors i saw a crack in number 6 after further inspection 5 out of the 6 had cracks in the outer plastic. 182k not to shabby

I installed 4-hole injectors from K Suspension 2 weeks ago. I rarely hear of poor results with these but my XJ ran rough right after and still does with a lot of hesitation upon acceleration almost like a misfire. I’ve given the ECU plenty of run cycles to adjust. 5 of the 6 injectors I replaced were the original Siemens with 360k miles and were working fine. I swapped in hopes of better MPG and better throttle response. I think I’ll go back to what has worked for me for 28 years.

For those of you chasing the classic Jeep stumbling issue on cold starts, I’d look to see what your fuel trim is and check your CATs also if not TPS make sure transmission range sensor or neutral safety switch. After you’ve gone through the classic heat soak. Ever since my new engine and fuel injectors it seems like I’m running really rich and just dumping fuel. And when I say every sensor is new it is. No codes.

Have you reset the ECU and taken it on a handful of drives so the ECU relearns the new injectors? If so, there could be a possibility of a faulty injector. I would then diagnose with a multi-meter or swap the injectors around and see if other inspector codes pop up to help identity the faulty injector. K Suspension has a lifetime warranty on the injectors. So if you got a bad injector I would contact them and get it replaced.

WD actually contains petroleum distillates (paint thinner). WD's main attribute is water displacement. Silicon grease will not only make it easy to install but will remain there for a very long time to help the seals do their job down the road. A nickel's worth of free advice. ^^

[@NoWr2Run]

I personally use superlube silicone grease but just spraying some WD on the o ring & not soaking them in it won't hurt anything. Most o rings are not natural rubber any how, besides what do you think gas does to them ?

For anyone using this video as a guide, please do not use wd40 as a lubricant on your injector seals. Wd40 removes moisture and after a few heat cycles this will cause the o rings to dry out/crack and leak fuel. Use a transmission oil for a lubricant. Transmission oils have conditioners in them to keep seals hydrated and extend the life of the rubber. Pro tip.

Tin foil wraps ^^

[@Jboost412]

The injectors have nothing to do with heat soak that’s a flaw in the design of a amc in-line 6…heat rises and the exhaust manifold is below the intake which is what allows the exhausts temps to heat your intake air temps up and again heat up your injectors & fuel temps so heat shielding is a must for any in-line 6 Jeep that’s going to be used off road or in harsh conditions….anyone mall crawling the sheetz parking lot 🤣 will never experience any issues with heat soak though it sounds cool when they’re comparing who has the “most modded yeep” ©

@@OutJeeping if you wheel the Jeep your gonna have heat soak from the design of your AMC in-line 6 wrapping the exhaust manifold with high heat wrap then making a heat shield for your intake & reinstalling your fuel rail heat shield helps substantially to prevent this from happening….just some things we do with ours from years of experience building trail rigs….these are extremely dependable motors but they get hot & that heats gotta go somewhere if at all possible venting the hood really goes along way but it’s not practical for some so heat shields & good quality heat wrap helps things allot…also worth mentioning a 160 or even a 180 t-stat & flowkooler hi-flo water pump does wonders for keeping the temps down since it doesn’t take much pushing on the gas under load to see temps climb past the typical operating temps if you get stuck in the mud or on a steep hill it’s really easy to overheat a 4slow

that top part of the heat shield looks like it would trap heat from the header not be a barrier for heat coming from the header

those heat shields are important. They stop injector from vapor lock. in other words it stops the injectors from overheating and it definitely does happen since jeeps naturally run hot.

​@@c.m.229 I have a jeep I worked in a jeep shop, I understand 4.0 vapor lock. Im just saying the home made cover lid thing looks like itd trap more rising heat off the header than it would keep heat out. the factory fix for vapor lock is a heat shield that goes underneath the fuel rail and injectors. if you want a good home made heat shield you wanna put a sheet of metal between the header and intake manifold, theres no heat source that would require a heat shield on top of the intake manifold, that one is basically trapping the heat rising from the exhaust manifold right on top of the injectors and fuel rail.

Beautiful XJ great video!

[@mitchellwentworth4025]

I've been looking for the follow up video. in the end would you recommend these over a 4 hole injector?

[@p.j.vallier9197]

The 4 hole injectors is the best way to go compared to stock injectors, and/or the 12 hole injectors. K Suspension did a video comparison where he took an XJ to a dyno (i6 4.0), he got the HP and Torque results on the first run with the stock injectors, 2nd run was with the 4 hole injectors, 3 run was with the 12 hole injectors. I forget off the top of my head the exact results, but the 4 hole injectors added more Torque and HP over the stock injectors. The 12 hole injectors had a little bit more HP or torque (i forget, it was 1 or the other), but had a considerable amount less HP or torque compared with the 4 hole injectors. I know that may sound confusing, basically the 12 hole injectors had a little more HP, but less Torque, or a little more Torque, but less HP. However, seeing that the vehicle did not have time to "learn" the spefic characteristics of the new sets of injectors (which takes a few complete drive cycles) the test is kind of invalid, in order to see the true HP and Torque numbers, he would have to have a set of injectors installed long enough for the computer to learn the characteristics of each set of injectors, which would fine tune how the vector would control them for optimal performance. However, even with the computer not having time to "learn" the new injectors, its atleast a good baseline to go off of. Also, the 12 hole injectors are more likely to have problems due to the fact that the holes are so small, they get clogged up very easily, which effects the spray pattern, efficiency, and overall performance of the injector, which results in less efficient air/fule atomization, and less efficient burn. When that happens, it leads to carbon buildup, and a host of other problems that come up as it gets worse. Stock injectors are o.k. 4 hole injectors are the best overall 12 hole injectors are just not worth it

It takes a few drives for the ecu to learn the new injectors and by resetting it you are making the process start over again. It will run off the factory presets at first till it relearns the new injectors.

[@orestino6212]

That’s wasn’t a vacuum hose. That’s a vent hose to the valve cover/crankcase. Check your 4.0 Jeeps. The valve cover hose that goes to the air filter is hollow. The rear valve cover hose has a small hole and goes to the intake manifold. The 4.0 does not have a PCV. If you put 2 small valve/elbows you’ll blow gaskets or seals.

Link seems to be working fine to their website, under their products tab you can find injectors that fit to your application.

[@honda636hp]

How is the mpg?

[@OutJeeping]

About the same

[@trhmlton9293]

How did the 12 hole injectors work out? Still running them?

[@OutJeeping]

I never had an issue with them till I sold the Jeep last summer. I plan to run them on my current Jeep as well.

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks

[@JoshuaMGeib]

How do you like the new injectors?

[@OutJeeping]

Work just fine, smooth running and better throttle response

[@johnmarkello]

So did the 12 hole injectors ever smooth out? Are you still running them>

[@OutJeeping]

Yup they smooth out after a few drives and still running them after after a couple years of them installed.

[@johnmarkello]

@@OutJeeping Awesome. I have the original 1 hole. LJ 112,000 miles. I have seen some saying that the 12 hole is running too rich of AFR. I'm up in the air on just going 4 hole or 12. Thoughts?

[@holdenclements6160]

Did they help with heat soak? I’ve got an 04 WJ and I’ve done hood vents and the E- Fan with a timer set for 5 minutes after running and I’m still getting a heat soak.

[@SosaJcraw]

Will it add horse and help fuel eco?

[@OutJeeping]

Nothing noticeable its mostly for smoother running and throttle response.

[@FELiPES101]

quality video

[@GF_Burke]

Nampa, ID... well I might just walk on over.

[@albertort1]

Are the 12 hole plug n play for a 99 jeep xj?

[@OutJeeping]

They are for the 99-01 Cherokee XJ's

[@tannerbarnes5454]

What exaust do you have man? It sounds great!

[@OutJeeping]

Flowmaster super 44 no cat.

[@Jfeo79]

No adjustments of timing were needed?

[@OutJeeping]

Juan Luis Nope, it doesn't change the amount of fuel going into the engine.

[@stevenpadilla378]

Would you recommend these over 4-hole instead? If so why?

[@MrHilbillybob1]

steven padilla The 4 holes are just fine but the 12 hole atomises a bit better and usually they’re 24/lbs an hour vs the stock 19/lbs

[@WhateverWithWheels]

I know this is an old video, but just a tip. never use wd-40 or any patroleum based lubricant on o rings. it will break down the rubber over time. you want to use a rubber safe lube. something like silicone spray lube etc.

[@OutJeeping]

There has been many studies and opinions on this subject. Bottom line is it won't break down the rubber but it can swell the rubber. For it to swell the rubber it needs to be submerged in WD40 for years on end for that to happen. Using it for a quick spray to install in this video will not affect the rubber. Also from the heat cycles of the engine any residual WD40 most likely has evaporated if there was any left on the O-rings.

[@mach1553]

Petroleum jelly is petroleum as where gasoline comes from. don't think it'll harm O-rings. WD-40 is a lubricating solvent.

[@starliteaquatics7308]

Should have painted the fule rail while it was out

[@armandor.garcia6208]

Any improvement with your mpg?

[@OutJeeping]

Nothing noticeable, but better throttle response.

[@kylelambert1672]

Would this work on a 93 zj 4.0?

[@OutJeeping]

Yes, you may need to get the wire harness adapters though.

[@HairyOyster]

Mine is running stupid rich now what do

[@OutJeeping]

Have you rest the ecu and driven it a few times?

[@HairyOyster]

@@OutJeeping yup did it all got 4 port ones and she ran fine

[@socastee_5.097]

What’s ur exhaust set up

[@OutJeeping]

Flowmaster super 44 no cats

[@s3dal7rbi.3]

OutJeeping sorry , but from where did you but it ?

[@beaner_fromyuma812]

Don’t take off the fuel rail with a hot engine ...don’t ask why but let just say it got a little toasty

[@andoniades]

Come to think of it, does the fuel pump cut on when there's a lack of pressure in the fuel rail like on some newer vehicles? He didn't mention if he disconnected the battery or not

[@OutJeeping]

Only when the key is turned it will prime before cranking, and then run continuously when the engine is running.

[@anarchistgreg4689]

$175 for reman at K suspension now

[@agustinhidalgo405]

Will it pass smog??

[@OutJeeping]

It should certainly, doesnt tamper with any of the exhaust.

[@brianhurst8862]

You do realize that "heat sheild" is actually putting your fuel rail in an oven , right? Do yourself a favor and buy a DEI heat wrap for the fuel rail and injectors from KSuspension and do it the right way before you get a problem with vapor locking, FYI.

[@OutJeeping]

The heat shield/duct was a project I did back in high school as an alternative way to reduce vapor locking in the fuel rail. I have a bilge fan on a thermo switch that blows air through the fuel rail ducting to dissipate heat.

[@cdub166]

Where's that review video at???

[@OutJeeping]

Haven't got to it yet but theres not much to say, they're still working great

Search eBay for jeep 12 hole injector upgrade

[@Hiller5150]

Just so you guys know eBay has the 12 hole Bosch reman for 80$ with free shipping

[@stargazer1733]

These are just stock 2007 Ford Focus 2.0 injectors. The Bosch number is 0280156161.

[@tribalskyes4838]

No better performance than Bosch 4 hole injectors.

[@danieljohnson8437]

WD40, not on electric connection! Please

[@OutJeeping]

I used wd40 on the o-rings as lube not on the electrical connector

Dude a set of these are 900 bucks. The point of a Jeep is it's fun and a good vehicle to work on. Good vid but wow

[@OutJeeping]

Hmm, not sure where you got that price from but on the K Suspension website they are $150 for 12 hole reman injectors.
