Default What size injectors for procharger?
What is the recommended size when running a procharger? I plan on running only about 8lbs. of boost to start off with. I have a guy selling his D1-SC and it comes with #42 injectors.. Will that be big enough?

Those will work fine, but I would get 60lb'ers and be done with it. You have room to grow as I know you will. Everyone on this board can testify to that.

I went with 60's. IT's funny, you tell yourself 8 pounds of boost will be enough.


And it is.


for a while.

Then you want more.

Oh I know I want more, but the reason I'm asking is because the guy selling it has #42 injectors that are coming with it.. If they won't work on #8's then I will try to get a lower price without them.

They'll work for 8lbs but, Im sure the 42lb'ers are going to be working their *** off. I bought 60lb'ers. and plan on running 8lbs.

If its a stock motor the 42's are fine for 8 psi.
