Default injector size

currently running 550cc injectors on car, looking to run car on 20%ish meth, obviously booking car in for re-map but want to know if injectors will need uprating/flowmatch, 400+bhp at mo.

you'll be running a pretty high duty on them i'd think currently so i'd imagine they need uprating/flowing, is it on a 2.0litre? you running a fpr to bring up the pressure?

Running 98% is huge strain on them, you need extra flow to cope with the meth. 800cc injectors would be needed

Can be worth while selling them. I managed to sell my STI pinks for £125 and got my 800's for £170 IIRC where i think it was about £100 to have them flowed.

Graham (enginemapper) recently mapped a car which I built the engine for, He's running 850's and with 20% meth they were getting close to max at 400bhp, this is due to having to flow extra fuel to compensate for the meth.

Is he running a FPR on that too? My 800's are from MattyB's car that was as almost 500 without meth on with these in.

If you have WRX injectors(380cc),they can be flowed to 700-740cc,if you don't have they're cheap and don't cost more than £40-£50
