Um, only one issue with that. 5 24lb injectors at 80% duty cycle will only support a 5cyl up to 180hp. You can use those for now, but you'll be running them past the recomended 80%, but you will be running the injectors hot and thier expected lifespan will shorten greatly. On an otherwise stock car just removing the airflow plate and tuning the EFI properly should put you beyond that 180hp mark. I'd say you should look for some 33lb injectors which should keep you flowing for 240hp (about what you should expect @ .8bar boost).

Maybe though I'm wrong on your application, it is a turbo 5 right? I've been so busy recently I barely remember that MY car is a 5cyl lol.


Heres the formula just in case.
To get injector size if you know the hp:
HP divided by # of Cyl divided by 0.8 times 0.55 = Flow rate
(300hp / 5cyl / .8 x .55 = 41.25lb/hr injector for a 300hp 5cyl car)
If you know your injector size but want max hp use:
lb/hr times # of cyl divided by .55 times .8
(24lb/hr x 5 / .55 x .8 = 174hp)
