Aftermarket fuel injectors, IJSBA

Injectors that increase fuel flow are treated differently from injectors that increase AIRFLOW.

This page is IJSBA only, and the bodies do not agree. The same part under IHRA. Which one applies to you is decided by whoever sanctions the race you enter.


Where it stands, class by class

14 classes, grouped where the same rule gives the same answer rather than listed one by one, because an answer that holds for a class usually holds for every class that borrows its rules.

What each answer below means

OEM part required
This comes off. Only the part the manufacturer fitted is allowed here.
Not permitted, not listed in the rules
Treat it as coming off. The class requires the craft to stay stock except where the rules allow otherwise, and this part is not on the list, so this is our reading rather than a rule we can quote at you.
Legal, with conditions
Keep it, but measure it: the rules permit this part only inside stated limits.
Legal
Keep it. The rules permit this part in this class.

Aftermarket fuel injectors: if the rule your class applies reads differently to you, or the rulebook has changed since this was read, ask. We answer with the section we read it from, or that we have not read it. Ask a rules question.
