I have read about nozzle size in this forum for about 5 hours with interest... great with a search function icon_smile.gif.
But only one person wrote about the significant jump from .184 to .216 (tim27), but unfortunately, that didn't help me much icon_sad.gif.
I read here that the original size is .184, but how does it work if I now buy a size .216?
Actually, 90 horsepower is enough for me right now, but the fuel injector is broken. So, I'm getting new injectors, and I'm thinking about getting larger ones while I'm at it (I found a new set, complete, for 420 EUR). But:
- Who has tried it (how many kilometers have they driven with it, any issues like overheating or excessive smoke, etc.)?
- Is it 'safe' to use, or will it eventually cause engine damage (e.g., to the pistons)?
- What is the performance increase with .216 nozzles?
- Should I get original nozzles, or perhaps .205 nozzles?
My car is NOT equipped with a 10-cent/box/chip system - I am only considering larger nozzles. My engine has 140,000 kilometers on it.
It is very important to me that my engine performs well, even after another 150,000 kilometers!
Please, come with experience icon_smile.gif.
Best regards,
Niels Hauerslev.

Hi,

That shouldn't be a problem. I have an acquaintance who, with the 1Z engine and the 0.216mm nozzles, has now reached over 250,000 kilometers.
That's all I can say. However, I also cannot guarantee the accuracy of this statement, as I myself have no experience with the 1Z model.


Greetings.
Thomas.

PS: If you're interested in AFN nozzles, I happen to have a new set lying around. If you'd like one, just send me a private message.

Hello Thomas,

Can you give me the number that's printed on the AFN nozzles?
I bought AFN nozzles, but I think I received SDI nozzles instead.

Best regards, Marco (Netherlands).
