im after a few opinions here regarding injector size for my setup, as im about to purchase the last of the items i need i need to choose which injectors to get

the engine has to come out to do the rear main seal, so ill be doing most the work with the engine on a stand

cometic 1.1mm HG
tomei poncams
gt2871r direct bolt on
550cc nismo injectors (but have been told to go 740cc because ill max out 550's)
arp head studs
cam gears
walbro fuel pump
tomei FPR
tomei manifold
splitfire coilpacks
rocker arm stoppers

all the above items are brand new and being installed, the last parts i need to order are a few gaskets injectors and a power FC. Except for the nismo 550's i allready have a set of 4 of them.

i got no exact power figure im hoping for, i just want a reliable engine

will 550cc injectors do the job, or am i better off getting a set of 740cc nismo's ?

all input is appreciated

cheers

What job are you referring to?

If you have no horsepower goals and just want a realiable ride wouldnt stock be your best bet?

the fact i used the word reliable was refering to the newly purchased parts going onto the car....ive allowed for nearly every supporting mod to allow me to run higher boost, its not like ill be running an ancient tomei manifold, with a hand-me-down turbo and chinese injectors..

if im to put a horsepower goal lets say 280-300hp.. it'll still have a stock bottom end, but HG & Studs should allow me to run a little more boost, its solely a drift car and will never be driven on public roads again

Your straight with 550 they max out at around 350hp. If you plan to ever go higher in the future just get the 740cc and you wont have to stress it anymore.
