What size fuel injectors to get?
I am upgrading my fuel system to accomodate my spray a little better. I will be getting and in-tank fuel pump also. What size injectors should I get? Will it matter if i am planning on a h/c package in the near future?

We need more info than that...

What year is your car?? 98?....If so, you're fuel system can handle upwards of 450 rwhp N/A, and 540 rwhp on nitrous, again depending on wether you run a Dry kit or wet kit. 99's have slightly smaller so the HP tolerance is slightly lower. 00 have the smallest. 01+ got the biggest injectors once again.

And yes, it will matter if you plan on doing heads/cam in the future.

If you do in fact need some injectors. You need to list what size/type of shot you're going to run. List your future plans on N/A modding, etc...


Need more info buddy <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

lIKE THE MAN ABOVE SAID all of that info is important but I would go with the 28lbs injectors sense you already have a fuel pump you will be good to go.

I am running 40 lb Bosch injectors.

I am running a Walbro/ARE/Racetronix 255lph intank pump.

My fuel system should support 500-550rwhp.

Mean, you have a dry nitrous kit, I would look into 36lb injectors. Otherwise not worth getting them. You would need to have the pcm tweaked too.

You may want to team up with a vendor to come up with the right package.

My stuff is all from Agostino Racing.
