Default what size injectors for my setup?

I have a d16y8 1997 ex with a t3/t4 50trim turbo, 2.5 downpipe, fully built block 8.5.1 compression, eagle rods, acl race bearings, with a stock head

just ordered some precision 440cc injectors with the obd2 to obd1 clips with a basemap of my setup from phearable at 8psi.

I still need to order my wastegate which i wanna boost around 15-18psi and im told these injectors get 77hp each cylinder so thats what 308hp. now is that whp? And will i be able to boost that much. im pretty sure that 16psi would get me around 260-270whp?

i just read something but lost the link about some guy boosting 13psi on the same injectors and hes at 90% cycle. doesnt seem right to me. anyone help answer my question

There are many ways to size injectors did you do any of them?

size injectors as in do the math to see how much fuel you'll need.

Oh screw it just slap on a 750 holly down draft.

Do you trust him??

Are you willing to crank some math out?

if i knew how to do the calculations i would but i have no idea how. i already ordered the injectors but i havent got the wastegate yet so im asking from people with experience what a y8 motor 8.5.1 compression, what can i do with 440cc injectors saturated. what kind of power can i get from them because if i buy a 16psi wastegate and than cant boost that high do to the injectors maxing out than ill be screwed.

that would be dsm's with a resistor box and i got ones that dont need a resistor box. id be happy with around 270whp and i no my car on 8psi stock compression will make 210-220 so im guessing 10psi on 8.5.1 compression will be about the same whp (210-220) to stock compression. so each level of boost i go up is around 6-8whp(ish) so i have read on here in posts. 16psi would be 265-275. im not trying to max out my injectors so thats why when i read 440cc make 77hp per cylinder, x 4 =308hp. so 270whp would mean the injectors would be around 90% duty cycle.

bump anybody.


This is the information i have.


The following is guide for selecting fuel injectors corresponding to horsepower and stock fuel pressure (40psi at the fuel rail). The sizes were estimated using 90% duty cycle of the injector. The sizing of the injector is heavily dependant upon the air/fuel level the engine is tuned at (ex. 12:1 air/fuel will take more cc's than 12.5:1 air/fuel) :

310cc 200~220whp
370cc 220~280whp
440cc 280~330whp
550cc 330whp~380whp
660cc 380whp~425whp
720cc 425whp~475whp
880cc 475whp~525whp
980cc 525whp~600whp
