1300 cc injector failure rate
I have heard when these are modified (850 cc to 1300 cc) there is a high failure rate...Has anyone had experience with this or heard about it?

if you get them done at RC engineering, they will flow test it after the rebuild, and ship the injectors back to you with the flow charts. They don't usually have any problems... Sometimes faulty electrical system can cause them to stick open or get them too hot.

13bace, "wire resistors inline" are you talking about the ECU itself?
so the power fc commander will not work with low impedence injector? i though the power fc commander is a stand alone computer not a piggy back?

1300 injectors are modified stock injectors. Stock (and 1300) injectors are high impedence.
The PowerFC works with high impedence injectors like the stock or 1300cc injectors. I would be surprised to hear that it worked well with low impedence injectors without a resistor. The risk is that you will damage the injector driver circuit by running too many amps.
"1600"s are low impedence injectors. You can run a ~10 Ohm resistor in the injector signal line (just splice it into one of the wires going to the injector -- it doesn't matter which one). Make sure you get a resistor that can handle the amperage and harsh environment.

maxcooper, thanks, on my stangs, i have to run a low impedence injector driver. i guess it's a little different. so 1300cc is the biggest high impedence injectors right?

I got them from EFI system, company who developed the PMS, the owner is Doug, i knew him pretty well, here is the link. www.efisystems.com they do sell a piggy back system for the FD. I'm currently running on my stang. I may go with the pms again on the fd if the power fc commander don't work out.

you guys with the single turbo, do you changed out the primary also? if so what size? i talk to a lot of the local guys, none of them go with a bigger primary. does the stock 550cc primary? be enough to made 400rwhp?
