Default Peakhold vs. saturated injectors for my setup?

Yes i understand the difference between the two, but im doing a turbo build and i wasn't sure which you guys would recommend. Anybody have any experience using the two?

Im going to be using my car as a semi-daily driver/highway and im obviously going to be bringing it to the track every once in awhile.
Im looking into getting 750cc injectors for my b16 turbo setup, going to be running 10-12lbs of boost on a 57trim turbo.

I know the injectors are big but im eventually getting the block sleeved for more boost so i dont wanna have to upgrade the injectors again. (going to tune them down on s300)

If the car you are putting this all into has a factory resister box already wired in then I would use peak&hold. Otherwise, use saturated.

I would ditch the resitor and put a dead end plug and run saturated. Resistors "WORK" but its not the proper way to run a peak &hold injector and when you start getting bigger cc's the idle gets choppy and yoru not seeing the true potential of the injector

As mentioned by several people here.
Buy injector dynamics 1000cc injectors (ID1000). You won't ever use another injector.

If you have the experience soldering and can take a little time, a simple injector driver can be built for around $60. The driver will deliver the 4/1 amp peak/hold power the injectors are supposed to get to pop the injector open and then hold it. I read that for under 800cc, running a resistor box works, and it does. But the larger ones are the ones the injector driver will help with.

I'm not selling anything or affiliated with anyone, just throwing that out there. ID1000s are good, but the driver would be cheaper or give an option if someone has or gets a good deal on peak and holds.

I run ID1000cc injectors they idle like stock. Highly recommended!

I have tuned cars with aem and fjo injector drivers on 1000cc semens style injectors.
They still do not compare to ID1000cc or ID2000 injectors.

Im thinking i might just go peak and hold, bc i can get myself a set of 750cc Rcs for cheap, The only thing is how hard is it to wire resistors? I know how to solder.
My car came with DSM 450cc injectors installed when i bought it does that mean its already got to have resistors wired in?

^disregard the last question bc i looked into it, and yes I do have a resistor box setup for my current injectors. so pretty much all i need todo now is take out the old injectors and wire in the new ones right? but peak and hold will be fine right? i wont be missing out on any essential things by going this route rather than going with the id1000s?

All bases are covered if you want to use any peak&hold and have the resistor box already installed.

Hey man, I'm currently using some 880cc peakhold at the moment but I'm thinking about switching to some saturated ID's or Bosch.. I have the resitor box installed in the back of my manifold because thats were the "dead end" plug is for the EK's...Well if i was to remove the resistor box and put it back to stock or the way it was before. would you have any clue if those 4 yellow/black wires have to be specifically connected or it does not matter which one they connect with?

Alright sweet, and they should work alright because im not getting too heavy into the cc's am i correct? the idle should be alright and they're not gonna work like crap right?

no they dont have to be specifically wired in, they are just power wires that run to the injectors, as long as you got all of them wired you will be fine.

What injectors were you running. If they are smaller than the 750cc injectors then you will need to get retuned for 750cc injectors

I'm running 450cc dsm injectors and yes i know ill need to get it retuned.
I'm getting s300 installed in a p98 for my Integra, and its going to be dynotuned this spring once i'm done building my car. I just wanted to make sure doing this setup with the peak and holds at 750cc's would be worth it or not.

I would also recomend going with Bosch Style 900cc injectors commonly referred to as 1000cc Injectors. Since you are going to use your car as a daily with some track use tunabilityand drivability are going to be key for you.
