New injectors?

Schmidtastic · 06-23-2009, 07:19 PM

Hey guys, just a quick question. When i go to stage two with my 04 sti will i need new fuel injectors? I was gonna get new ones anyway just wondering if when i went stage two i needed to do the injectors at the same time, and what kind of injectors should i get? Thanks in advance

Ask your tuner. For stage 2 not really. And the size of injectors depends on your turbo, your tune all that stuff, but heres a reference:WRX Fuel injector sizing guide STi Fuel injector sizing guide Lgt fuel injector sizing guide, JSC Speed

Thanks man. And its for stock turbo with hks cbe, helix catted high flow downpipe, with the cobb accessport. Just wanted to know what a good brand would for the injectors

Well my tuner suggested the deatchwerks ones. If you do go with bigger injectors, get ahigh flow fuel pump also.

You do not need bigger injectors for stage 2. Keep the stockers until you upgrade the turbo.

Not needed, but getting a fuel pump and injectors you can max out your stock turbo. Thats your call.

If i get a fuel pump do i also need the injectors or am i good with just the fuel pump?

You don't need either right now. Nor for stage 2 and yes you could get the fuel pump without the injectors.

A good rule of thumb is if you need a fuel pump to run your mods safely you are close to maxing your injectors but once again you don't need it for stage 2 which is what your asking correct?

Yes sir thats what i was asking. Cause i read somewhere that for stage 2 it would be a good idea to get a new fuel pump. So for stage 2 i wouldnt need either new injectors or fuel pump unless i upgraded the turbo?

baller_v24 · 06-24-2009, 12:17 AM

Correct. The only STi's that ive read about going with a fuel pump for stage 2 are some of the 07 STi's that's the year when stock maps were crappy.

Aight thanks guys its much appreciated

Not exactly "stage 2" but my tuner did believe that the stock turbo is limited by the stock STi injectors. If you're getting a protune, you might consider it even with the VF39/43 still under the hood. Being fuel limited is a waste

For a cobb AP stage 2 map do you need upgraded injectors? No. In fact, you can't use that map if you did.
