Fuel injectors

So I am finally installing the ldk engine from zzperformance. Since vehicle has 130k is it worth changing injectors? If so should I upgrade them to the zzp injectors upgrade. If so what would it cost to have it tuned and who can do it for me near Columbus, ohio. Will they work with no other upgrades and what does it do to fuel consumption?

I would certainly change them. Expensive/PITA to do it later.

If I were in your shoes I would do as much new components as you could afford since both engines will be out. new ac compressor, alternator, etc. all much easier with engine out lol

I have zzp opel injectors. They allow for more fuel flow, but it is not gonna change your mpg if you drive the same. Also they are pointless if you dont have bigger turbo, and other mods, since stock injectors are more than enough for factory set up.

they are not pita to get to. All you do,is remove intake manifold. Took me less than 1hour, doing it for the first time.

Beyond the injectors, his point is good advice. Money paid now for savings later.

Your choice, of course.
