I'm fitting a Fuel Lab Regulator will this help achieve a higher BHP figure and duty cycle percentage or just ensure an even fuel flow?
Cheers lads

STi pinks are just over 500cc. If you run higher base pressure then yes, you can reduce duty cycle (obviously within reason)

I thought they were 552.xx (where xx varies between ECU variants) ![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Std injectors are good for around 370bhp at std fuel pressure, 420ish at 4bar.
What turbo are you fitting?

OEM "pink" injectors are 510cc per min. Straight from the STi parts book and verified by both tuning test limit results on all the ones we've used over the past 6 years since the New Age was launched and through our injector flow test rig.
A common mistake made by a lot or retailers though that they are perceicved to be bigger than they actually are.
Someone else has mentioned above that they thought 370BHP was their limit, I would suggest that is fairly close unless you're going to "run the nuts" off them (not advisable).
If you're likely to get to that kind of HP, you really do need the next size up (650cc) to retain a little headroom on IDC's.

Mike, I know that hence the smiley - you'll be telling me that WRX injectors aren't 420cc next ![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Dave, The fuellab FPR at 4bar will be fine for a 20G.

But what about adding to the formulae for considering fuel pressure
![Ponder2](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/ponder2.gif)
Can anyone put a fruit pastel in the mouth and not chew it while solving that one
