550cc....enough?
Alright, I've searched and kept getting mixed answers.
My set up will be J-spec 88' TII motor, Full 3" exhaust, Intake, Microtech, Upgraded pump, FMIC, Plan to run around 10psi
I've read that the stock 550cc injectors handle to around 300hp? If thats true, than i should be good with my setup correct?
Thanks

They should but, It depends; have you done proper wastegate mods? If not then no. Ur gonna boost creep like crazy in higher gears. Be safe at least get the injectors cleaned and balanced if thier old, also rewire that new pump.

As a quick answer to your second question, no, the stock 550 injectors at 80% duty cycle will not support 300hp with a stock S4 turbo screaming up to 10psig boost if you are running the stock fuel rail pressure. However, you aren't going to make 300hp at 10psig anyway.

The wastegate has been ported majorly, and all the injectors have been cleaned. I have another set of 680cc injectors which i was going to use as secondaries, or maybe sell them to help finsh my project (This motor is in a 1st gen rx7) But Im guessing i'll just use the 680's to be safe.
The fuel pump is an MSD inline, 43gph i believe at ~42PSI. and everything is going to be controlled by a Microtech LTX-8
