Default What injectors for 400bhp?

Hello

I am looking for injectors to fit MY98 Type R, its fully forged engine on 2.5 block, just wanted to know what injectors i should buy to reach that sort of power.

Links would be very helpfull UK/USA doenst matter.

I will have all the supporting mods to reach that power ie. gearbox, turbo, intercooler and brembos to stop the car as well im just unsure on which injectors should i go for.

Thanks

SORRY posted in the wrong session

i would go for some 740's m8, then you have more scope for further modding

550cc are unfortunately too marginal - some make only 380+... Others well over 420!

So go for 650cc - they'll clear it, with lots of headroom to spare. Or, as above, 740cc. But both WILL be prohibitively expensive.


The best route is to buy a set of used OEM 440cc "yellows" (£40+) - loads on here and eBay. Then send them off to Mark Aigin at Lateral Performance for ASNU ultrasonic cleaning and flow-matching to 930cc. Price is £185 +VAT = £225.

Mine, with the same basic spec, runs 740's.

Thanks for the replies guys

I have the 440cc yellow at the moment so i think thats what i will do, but wont 930cc be overkill for that kind of power?

Over kill yes but as said, it allows room for more improvements later down the line should you wish.

Well yes.

But it's worth it to save shedlaods of cash and to be 'future proofed' (into the 600s bhp!!!)


The only real thing to worry about is idling/low rpms - sometimes too big a cc can cause rough low speed running.

But they're reflowed with a "V-spray" pattern - i.e. 2 smaller jets of fuel leaving the pintle in an inverted "V" pattern. This aids atomisation and Mark says they'll work particularly well with aftermarket ECUs, such as Simtek, Syvecs, etc...

Theres always a compromise when tuning. What would be the trade-off with fitting overly large injectors?

See post #7 ^^^

Plus, the ECU may find it hard to control low IDC - so worse fuel consumption could be in the offing(?)

eggy. they'll be top feeds. If the OP is modding his Classic? (as in his avatar), then he needs Classic side feeds.

Although that said, I think Carl Davy does a top feed to side feed conversion kit - is it rails?

Suprised no one mentioned sti pinks and fpr will hit your target and have known/ guarranteed fuel pressure, 3/3.5 bar and a set of pinks will see you to 450 no probs.
