Default 1400cc daily driver?

Planning on using RC/1400cc injectors, for a daily driver. I have a set and im pretty sure i can make it work with some tuning but wanted to know if anyone has any feed about this. Running a b16 low comp. Gt30 turbo, HONDATA S300 with 91 oct., not planning on making mad power, just 400hp. Any feed are welcome and dont ask, why i wont down grade. Just your thoughts about this and situation i might run into.

Thanks a lot.

How are you making the b16 into 1400cc? 400hp IS "mad power" for a "1400cc" B16 on 91oct. Why are you doing this?

i think he is talking 1400cc injectors. or am i wrong? if so you can dd them but the 1000's will probably idle circles around the 1400's.

problem is that larger injectors react slow, so they need to run a little rich, you have it in your head that you are running them, so why are you asking wether or not to?>

it seems as if you have made up your mind. it can be done but at what expense?

yea you can run 1600's too for a daily driver. only thing with big injectors is that its going to idle like **** the larger you get. but to some they dont care how it idles. i know i dont.

1400cc is way overkill for only 400whp. it will idle/cruise like **** and probably get poor fuel economy because the part throttle tune would be horrible.

sell them and go for a set of 750-880cc. or try out the new bosch 1000cc injector.

Get the bosche injectors.. they can flow like a 1400 if you raise the fuel pressure and idle smooth as silk like a 680. They are the **** my friend

1400 does seem like overkill if you want 400 wheel on pump gas. you dont need those big of injectors, i would say 650's or 750's. if you want more power and decide to go to a different gas like e85, e98, or q16, your gonna need bigger injectors cause you use like 30% more fuel with those fuels.

Thanks a lot.. Ill look into the bosch injectors a bit more sounds like something i should get. But i was planning to use a different kind of gas, the reason for my use of the 1400's. Was just wondering had anyone tried them as a dialy yet... I guess im done here and found my answer....

Thanks to the help guys
