Default 16 gauge wire big enough for injector?

um, pretty much what the topic says. i figure 16 gauge is big enough since the wire coming of the ecu is 22 or 24 gauge.

16 would be plenty. the wires going to the injectors themselves should be even smaller than that stock, right?

i'm not really sure since i'm rewiring a dx harness to work with mpfi. the dpfi mian injector has some fairly beefy wire, i'd guess about 14 gauge.

Plenty big enough, the dpfi uses high impendence injectors, so it needs the thicker gauge wire, but with the mpfi, you have the injector resistor box, so you are putting way less volts thru, so you will be fine.
