need some advice please
right long story short, my94 sti, front mount intercooler, full decat, roger clark k+n induction kit and alloy trumpet, forge chump valve, simtec ecu, what sort of power should that be running on a standard td05 16g and 380 injectors.
cheers in advance

cheers fella, so 380's will run to that sort of level then?? i was starting to worry that 440'ss would struggle, but i may not be understanding things correctly

I would defo change to the 440's as you are probably at the max of the ones you have now. I have the 440s on my94 wrx wagon and after having them flow tested to make sure thay are ok we are well withing the limits and i am running 315bhp. Your mapper should be able to tell you what your current injectors are pushing out. Also fitting the 440's is an easy job and well worth the safty.

if your IDC is at 97% in 380, then 440s or even 550pink would be a better option. you want to be running about 80-85% IDC while on full boost to make things nice and safe. if i was you and could afford the 550s i would be future proofing myself in case i wanted a bit more power in the future. why change the injectors twice when you can do it once (albeit with a bit more expense)
any mapper worth his salt will be able to map the 550s just as well as 440s.

standard injectors will do 300bhp on a good day
really who ever mapped it should advise with regards to mods, you appear to have everything in place and are held back from good power just by the injectors.
440cc should do 340bhp.. 550cc injectors would allow some head room if you have the budget for them.
Forge dumpvalves unfortunatly I see many failed.. worth checking it, remove is and push the piston in and then put your finger over the vac pipe connection on the valve and the piston should stay push in.. if it doesn't then it is leaking and should be binned imho.

iirc the ppp map on the newage sti goes beyond 85%, just to demonstrate someone else also ignoring this myth.
550pink injectors are top feed injectors and will not fit on a classic fuel rail.
Agree, there will be no running issues with any of the decent injectors (avoid venom as they are are not well balanaced and will be a pig) once setup correctly.

the forge dumpvalve was brand new from roger clarks along with the induction kit, so would be hopeful that it hasnt given up the ghost this early on, but i will check what you have mentioned above, but duncan did say that the car has good vacuum when i suggested the idle problem perhaps being due to dump valve so assume that this is not a problem.
just out of interest, could i blank the dumpvalve take off altogether and run without one??? or does this cause further issues.

the 80-85% rule is a myth and as long as the injectors are still continunig to increase there flow which can be checked during mapping then no need to stick that low.

As for your Forge DV. Forge do a service kit for it, piston, seals, spring and grease. I sent them a very nice email and they sent the kit FOC.

this is where im struggling, mapper states that 380's will do 330-340bhp, but others say that they wont go near that, so looking at options and want to make sure i dont get the wrong thing, no point in going 440's and maxing them if 550's would be better suited and leave some space for improvement later on. my intention all along was to swap the injectors and turbo in the new year funds permitting, but dont want to get the wrong things.

Yes you can blank the dumpvalve off, td05 is strong enough to take it
It was just a precautionary mention on forge dv, not necessarily your issue, dv effectd maf bases much more

get your money out steve and buy some 550's, no use buying small then having to buy again to meet the requirments
ive got some pink 550's for a classic if you want to borrow them
