Ok so heres the scoop, i have a stock KA, and i got a set of Python Venom fuel in jectors( http://www.prostreetonline.com...113-4/ ) free. Should i put these in? I talked to one guy who said i shouldnt at all, but cant find any reason either way. So i figured i'm gonna sell these unless my mind gets changed by advice recieved by you all.

I wouldn't, simply because there is no need to. They won't boost performance much, if anything at all. To get more power, you would want a leaner mixture, not a richer one.

I wouldn't do it, for the same reason Panda said. If I got them for free (and was planning on doing more mods where they might come in to play) I definately wouldn't sell them though.

the stock maps are already plenty rich at WOT, adding those will do nothing but hurt performance and fuel economy. good luck selling them, youll need it.

Those injectors will only work a KA-E or a KA-DE with top feed fuel rail.They dont even mention the size on that website. Do you know how big they are??

270cc X 1.10 = 297cc

No dude. I think what they are telling you that they are junk and you do not need them because they will not do anything except clog up your engine with gunk leftover from too much fuel.

Unless you have high comp. pistons or some turbo setup, you will not get ANY use out of them.

I would be wary of any injectors that only lists the size as 10% over stock.

I assume you have a KA-DE, so you would need a top feed rail to use them. You would also need something to control them, like a SAFC.

You really wont see a performance increase. The injectors add fuel but you need to add air to make more power. If youre planning to add a turbo, it might be worth getting the injectors now. If not, I wouldnt bother spending the money on the rail and SAFC.

EDIT: Devious is right about the side feeds...Listen to him

Those injectors are listed as 91+ 240sx injectors, so they would be side feed, as far as I can tell. That picture is generic.

Definately worth keeping the injectors around, they arent going to produce the greatest results in a 100% stock system but may become handy in the future.
