injector sizing

Post by integra_chopper »

When selecting an injector, I'm guessing that going with an injector with too high of a flow rate would be harder to tune, especially for a daily driver???

According to the charts I've seen, For 14psi, i'll be needing 440cc njectors. I'm thinking 550cc would be better, especially for instances where th boost might be turned up a wick more.

But does the higher flow rate make it more difficult to tune with the hondata (or any ecu for that matter). I've been offered a great deal on some high impedance 720cc injectors, but I'm reluctant because it seems like it'd be a real bitch to tune. Any thoughts???
In the process of building a b18b1 for 14 psi of turbo duty.

Naw, biggers aren't that much harder to tune. A little more difficult to get it to idle and and the real low parts of the map but it isn't bad. Bigger injectors require more time to stay open because they are so big. My car runs lean on 800cc injectors on the low part of the fuel map and at idle. It runs fine and the gas mileage is superb.
I recommend getting the 720cc injectors but I am bias. You will always want more power. Start off the big ones. :)
