What's your power goal? That will help you determine your injector size.
More power = more fuel = bigger injectors.

You should be fine with 750cc injectors for 400+ whp setup. Though I believe for your ultimate 600whp goal, it may be pushing it.

You can calculate the size I believe by calculating combustion chamber volume, air/fuel mixture and air entering the engine. I remember seeing the formula somewhere, ill get back to you for that.

for 450hp you will need 886CC injectors.
Did you use 0.50 or 0.60 for B.S.F.C
Either way, 1000cc injectors will be good. Though i would say double check with Zeeman.

I did it 2x and got 885.9CC
Either way, should be safe with 1000CC injectors.

Well, you don't want to go ridiculously big, but big enough to efficiently supply the required amount fuel, with some room to grow.

if you're going to use 1000cc's in a honda, get the Injector Dynamics 1000cc's. They're linerally scaleable up to 1600cc's depending on your fuel pressure.

They're a saturated injector and won't require a resistor box. They idle unlike any 1000cc injector out there. Yes, they're expensive, but worth every penny.
