What is the max injector u can run with a safc2. i have 42lb now and i'm around -40 but i want to upgrade and go to 50lb or even 72lb because there the same price. but i don't know if the safc will correct 72lbs. I thought I might turn the fuel pressure down a little? any ideas

72lbs is to much from my understanding, I think you can push no more that 555cc on stock ecu, so 50lbs your in the clear

^ Agreed.The only way to control larger injectors than that, is to turn your fuel pressure down at idle. Or go with the 'Hacked MAF' idea. I wouldn't mess with either one of those options though....well....maybe

IF your going to even mess with 720cc injectors why stick with a SAFC? I mean either go standalone or get a tuned Rom and tune it from there with the SAFC. Either way youll probably spend the close to the same money.

Here write down some more info on what you are running, and your setup and I will try to list some of the tuning options you have.

The reason I want to get 72lb for now is that they cost the same as 50lbs and I plant to upgrade in the future to some type of standalone. Right now I have 42lbs but at full boost I of 10-12 psi I run lean. so I need a little more. I've uped my fuel pressure but i'm at the limit. so I need new injectors.

SAFC can only handle injectors twice as big as stock, so 50lb'ers or 555's are the biggest on the KA.

Time to upgrade to a tuned ECU in my opinion...

I ran 42lb injectors at 14 psi all day. I had to use a 255LPH pump though, the stock S14 pump couldn't keep up with the fuel demands at higher rpms and higher boost levels. Then I used alcohol injection to run 20 psi.

I don't know, but since i put the new T3/t4e on it runs lean at 12 psi with 42lbers. I also have a msd high pressure fuel pump. so its not my fuel pump. I guess i will have to just by 50lbs for now. thanks.
