Default Couple of fueling questions...

1

what power will sti 505cc injectors flow up to? im thinking nismo 550's but dont want my car to simply guzzle fuel round town but needs to support 330bhp+ are 550's really gonna bad on fuel consumption?

2

fuel rails! reading up on cyl 3 having a different piston in and last in line for fuel, should i REALLY do the parallel fuel rail conversion, and realistically how much can it be done for?

Your car should have 440's, these will be o.k to 330-350 fuel rail will also be o.k for the bhp your wanting.
If you intend to mod more then 350 then do the above modes, along with upgrated clutch and gear box.

surly they will be running a real high duty cycle thought?

what would pink injectors flow up to do we think?

clutch + light fly is to do - 6 speed will be purchased when 5 speed gives up!

The theoretical max bhp for 440's is 320bhp. Ive just fitted nismo 550's to my car but did think about going down the adjustable fuel reg route.

Fuel consumption should infact improve somewhat on light load even when switching to larger injectors like 550cc from the OE ecu to a remapable ecu.

440cc injectors won’t see 350 bhp you will need 550cc. Swapping injectors alone won’t give you any benefits without remapping.

The parallel rail mod can be done for £50 or so. I used
1 rail adaptor-£15,
3m stainless hose-£20,
2 'T' peices-£10
Hose clamps-£5

This will need a fuel reg too, price depends on what you go for. The above will need the existing rails in 3 positions to be cut.
