550 injectors and fuel pump
i'm looking at 550 cc RC injectors for my ~280 hp b18c. my calculations show me that
a. this is the right injector size for 80% load and
b. i only need a 190 lph fuel pump, not 255.
my questions are:
1. is my 550 cc/min injector size too big
2. why does everyone use 255lph fuel pumps, it doesnt seem necessary for any of their applications

Re: (93turbo16)
is there an issue with getting too big of a fuel pump (bad idle, for example)?
also, i read somewhere (i think it was a. graham bell) that injectors work best when at .60 duty cycle in sequential applications, so the 550s may be better. if i tune it right, larger injectors shouldnt be a problem, correct?
also do I want the high resistance or low resistance injectors? =p

Re: (93turbo16)
oh yeah, my fuel pressure gauge tells me i'm dead on right now, but i'm planning out my turbo setup, so i dont really know. all i know is that 450cc/min injectors seem to be pushing it in terms of duty cycle, as my calculations show me that i need 500 cc/min for .80 duty cycle.
that is assuming my fuel pressure is 52psi - is this too low, should i plan to run higher?

Re: 550 injectors and fuel pump (b18-c-rx)
I am running the 255hp walboro and rc 550s. My duty cycle at 300whp was about 84%. I got a good deal on them, but will be upgrading soon
