Ok guys Im putting together a turbo set up for a friend of mine, and I having dificulty deciding which injectors to get. A bit about the car and the set up: LS/vtec (completely stock) first of all is 300 possible on a stock ls/vtec? Once everything is install it will def be tune prior to any driving, of course I will suget eCtune. Now I would like to put together a turbo set up for 500hp which is our goal, but we will only use as much power as we can make from the stock engine, till we build the engine which eventually he will but not for now, hense I sugested the car MOST be tune prior to any use. Can 1000cc injectors be use for the set up, lots of people keep tellling me thats a lot of fuel for a stock engine, but if the car is gonna get tune, this should take care of the problem, right? wrong? Please guys let me know if I can order the 1000cc injectors and which ones are compatible with eCtune, also which ones you guys recomend. Thanks a millions guys.
Yes you can run 1000's. Doesnt matter if your making 10whp or 300, the tune will compensate. I personally like PTE 1000's a lot, but Rc's etc will work fine.
yeah you can run 1000cc but thats alot of fuel.. personal i run 16 psi on fully built d16z6 and i just run DSM 450 and they work just fine , i've got around 260 , horse i believe . but it all depends on your goals ...
what pro and cons are you searching for? injectors are injectors

Make sure you check your piston to valve clearance, you might have to grind out the valve grooves in the piston some more (wider+deeper) to avoid bending a valve when you hit vtec. I have tuned a setup like this before and made 263hp @ 9 psi on 90 octane pump

no pro and cons for 1000cc thanks
Some large injectors have a crappy spray pattern and/or poor atomization. Both result in wasted gasoline, and possible lean pockets. Some are also smaller injectors with modded pintles/balls/discs, so sometimes the coils aren't big enough resulting in slow reactions. You wouldn't use a 400whp civic instead of a 400whp diesel pickup truck to pull 3 cars, would you? 300whp would need 450cc minimum, and 500whp would need 750cc minimum. Ideally you'd get 850cc-1000cc for your injectors. Bosch's new 1k's are supposedly the cat's a**, but are priced accordingly.

i've made 315whp on a stock LSvtec @ 11psi (on a cheap ebay-style kit), that car was using RC 440s. I don't get why you'd want such a big injector? I could understand something in the 600-750 range to leave some room for upgrades, but 1000ccs?!? Yes, the tuning will take care of delivering the right amount of fuel, but like someone else said 1000cc injectors can be slow to react.
