550cc good enough?
So as of right now I have an 88t 300zx, I have 550cc injectors from the FC RX-7. I was wondering if I could up the boost to 20psi and run the injectors safely. Right now it's on 17psi on a really bad base tune. The tune is hot garbage and I want a friend of mine to use the Nistune that's on it. -

Depends on your horsepower capabilities of your setup.... Fuel Injector clinic puts you maxing around 440 crank HP assuming stock fuel pressure.

my suggestion… get a good tune first, then check your actual duty cycle (if possible).--------------

im running 550CC Grams with vac/reference, they are around 60% duty cycle @ 400 WHP @ 17PSI on a hx35.
with goals i'd suggest at least 750 or 1000CC for head room and to keep duty cycle low. If you are not targeting over 400WHP 550CC is fine.Comment

Now if I can't run a 420WHP setup on 550cc, I'd love for people to send me some links for bigger injectors, please and thank you! -

Injectors are less complicated than they appear
Replacing the original connector plugs is highly recommended as the original plastic plugs break down and crack.
Upgrade to the PastPowerPerformance O-ring rails, find a set of R32 skyline injectors, splice in ev-14 connectors, new gaskets… then do yourself a safety solid and convert your fittings to AN so you don't die in a fire.
before attempting start-up perform multiple leak checks.
550CC should safely get you over 400WHP, until duty cycle approaches 80% you're safe - this also relevant to you or your tuners comprehension

Also remember if convert to E85 you need larger injectors compared to gasoline power goals.Own:

Do you idle smooth with the large injectors ?.. just asking … . ( jwt 420cc on my t4/t3 turbo no problem ) but what about other larger injectors … ? do they pulse out small amounts at idle ? and then there's what cam is installed … -

Smooth idle is largely determined by your setup and tuning.
If you are competent with K values and idle/warm up trim you should be quite as a honda 4banger at idle -

im running E85 on 1200cc injector on nistune. Running a little rich 10-12.1 afr but holds a good idle at 900 rpm. I think 1200cc is already past the limit a little of E85 for decent idle. I had no problems with idle and afr with my previous 450cc dsm blue tops.Own:
