Default what size seimens injectors do i need...

with a stage 3 yb with a t34 .55

at present its running dark greens (brand new 2years ago but have done 1000miles at most),was gonna fit replace with greys that are brand fire new when engine is finished as am worried these may not be able to supply enuf fuel

am i wasting my time thinking about the seimens and just stick with the bosch or as they are a more modern injector go with them as i`m sure i could sell both sets of bosch and be able to pay for the seimens


can anyone advise

Hard to say whether they will fuel to the bhp you want, as we don't know what that amount is.
There is nothing wrong with greys, despite what some tuners have you beleive they don't overnight become scrap because they have found something else they can make more profit on of a different make, they are a perfectly good injector.
I know there is a load of crap going around that greys can't give a good idle good emissions, this is pure bollocks of the highest order stated by people who can't map correctly.
Mine run 0.97% CO 137ppm, with 180,000+ miles on the bottom end, and is 100% rock steady, more than happy to show you the mot printout that shows this.
In short I would use them, but if I were in a position of buying injectors from the start would go siemens purely because unlike greys they are still made.

I have heard that too that some tuners aren't able to set greys up right so was another reason
Main one apart from fuel supply was the fact they are a more modern unit and I presume will give a better spray and ergo less chance of cocking up and buggering my engine

Power wise was thinking around the 340bhp mark don't want to go chasing numbers just want a tracktable road car that's fun when I want it
Sure 450bhp would be nice to quote in the pub but I wanna drive the thing..!!

Just out of interest what are the power ranges that are reccomended for the seimens

No idea on the siemens, but I have not seen any better spray pattern either, or been told of any gains by people who have used both bosch and siemens.
I'd run a mile if they said you can't map greys correctly, my injectors I'm sure were at 56% at 300bhp, once rebuilt will be going 400 though.
