What he said, light blues (400's) will do 380 - 400, depending on engine spec. and turbo.

thx,
Manoj

thanks guys the turbo is a t34 .63 and planning to use the 380bhp msd off the shelf chip so are the blues better than the greys ? or is it power output thing?

Power is limited by youre turbo. Both will flow enough. The Siemens injectors however are better in every aspect then the l blues or greys.

Is always like a set of injectors that could out flow my turbo just to be on safe hands.


Ps a set of 55lb or 83lb Siemens will be fine.

i know that you want the injectors to basically able to out do the turbo and i know siemens 55 would be ideal but no where sells them anymore and this is the only reason i am looking to other injectors , dose anyone have an idea if there maybe new injectors comming onto the market ? as i am just at the stage of building not in the pickup .

yep tryed them last monday and they told me they didnt have any , think they said the makers stopped making them , which ever it was i could not get hold of them , are greys better to set up than the blues? as the off the shelf 380 chip msd sell (that i plan to use) say its for greys or siemens55s?
i guess i am asking which will be the best to use, grey or blue?
thanks

I was told by MSD to source some secondhand Siemens 55lb injectors as they aint got any,or some new 403 Greys for the 380 bhp tuning package they do.

can you get a 380/380 conversion on greys running nicely on closed loop off boost/cruising??

or do they flow too much low down to be efficient??

I want to go closed loop to improve my 12mpg urban consumption but i wonder if id be better off getting different injectors too.

when stu live mapped my last saph on t4 83lb siemens no closed loop it was great on fuel cruising and around town off boost, ive had a few generic chip cossies years ago and they were all utter shit on fuel.
i cant see greys being that much worse live mapped.
