I can't see where 550's would hurt. But don't take my word for it, for all I know you could be fine with 720's.

the real question is, how much power do you anticipate to be making? the stock injectors can support quite a bit.

Assuming your gonna run High compression and a pretty aggressive set of cam's i'd reccomend some RC 310's. No way in hell would you need some 700 injectors, way to big IMHO. I'm running an integra gsr fuel pump and rc 310's on my 12:5:1 cr b18c1 and it matches up very nicely.

"MOST" n/a builts are fine with stock injectors, N/A 240s are good until atleast 250whp, boosted not so much.

rc 310's are probably the way to go. but yeah. like everyone said, your setup info would be nice

just be sure to get your car tuned after you pop in those injectors. a great tune goes a long way

I highly doubt you can get 250whp on stock injectors.

Wow, almost every car ive ever seen with stock injectors usually top out at approximately 200whp give or take a few hp. What were you revving your motor to? Also what was the duty cycle of the injectors?

IMO with anything past 200whp the 310s should be used. simply for high RPM injector duty cycle reasons. the 240s will do 250whp but they will make you unhappy over time. (random/odd problems as they die)

NOTE: it's fairly commonly accepted that anything over 80% DC is shortening the life of the injector

ooh. dont forget having a high pressure fuel pump such as a walbro 255 is extremely helpful, with or without the stock injectors.

255lph is too much for N/A apps, the 190lph is more than enough.
Plus installing the 255lph without a high flow FPR your fuel pressure will be higher at idle which will cause a rough idle and if things get bad enough a CEL.
Tuning can take care of this but it makes things more difficult than they have to be.

If you're running a stock GSR or SI fuel pump now you won't need to upgrade it.

yeah, at stock rail pressure they do depending on max RPM, the motor im referring to was a built LS gude (bullfrog) top end and ECU. was revving to 8200rpm and making power the whole time. i didnt tune this motor myself, so i cant say what the exact duty cycle was but i know rail pressure was like 55-60psi. im certain i would have been told if i needed bigger injectors, then again, maybe they didnt care enough to let me know. i dont know, i got rid of the car a few months after the dyno time.

you need 84mm pistons to match the b20's bore. stock b18c pistons will not fit.
