side feed is less common and more expensive.

Side feed can run higher duty cly since the coil is surrounded by fuel and that keeps them cooler. Other then that they are exspensive to buy.

if you need bigger injectors and you have the RB25 lying around, then go for it.

The purple top FD injectors BoostFed mentioned could work too. But you would still need the RB25 rail.

FC turbo injectors are top feed 550cc. But I have a hard time figuring out which are high impedence (I think its the 88-91, TurboII??)

i say screw it..stick with the top feed rail....just get yourself a set of high impedance top feed injectors.. and you can always change out the injectors later on without swapping out fuel rail. top feed injectors are cheaper and abundant
