Default ls/vtec injectors - looking for suggestions

Currently putting together a JDM b16a head and b18b1 with p72-A0 pistons. I know the stock injectors from most things work on this (like the ones currently in my d16z6) and its going to be N/A till next year.

Should i go with just the stock injectors will o start getting turbo parts or go ahead and grab the larger injectors. I will be shooting for 300-350hp when i do go turbo and maybe e85... would injectors big enough for that kind of set up be too much for the engine now, even with a tune?

You cannot run larger injectors without a tune and have them meter out the correct fuel. Period.

Oh I know that, it will be tuned regardless of what injector I put in. Just wanting to know if like, say a 1000cc injector could be tuned to run a low end ls/vtec. Or would it be easier to just run the stock ones and tune for them.

Over-complicating things. If you're not going to boost it in the very near future then leave the injectors stock. If you start piecing turbo parts together then buy and shelve them until the actual turbo install.

Until you boost it, don't mess with it. Turbo setups tend to be all or not...if you want to buy parts, go ahead, but as grumble said, shelve them until you have everything

Point is still the same. Until you bolt on your manifold, you should leave stock injectors in the car.
