I think 440's would be fine.. you don't want to max out the injectors but at the same time you don't want to flow too much.. maybe even like 370's..

240cc = 180-190whp
310cc = 200-220whp
370cc = 220-280whp
440cc = 280-330whp
550cc = 330-380whp
660cc = 380-425whp
720cc = 425-475whp
880cc = 475-525whp
1000cc = 525-600whp.

440's would be too big....he would need to either keep his stock 240's or go step up and get 310's

440's are generally used when you go with a turbo setup, no all the times but I have a few friends running RC 440's that put down 270+

it isn't bad to have a larger injector size than is required, but it may be more difficult to tune a smooth idle i'd think.

set yourself a hp goal and build your engine with that target in mind. too many people just throw a bunch of parts together without giving it much thought and then wonder why they aren't getting the performance they paid for. all the parts need to work together to get the full potential out of them.

the way i see it, if you're going to spend the money on injectors, you might as well leave room for improvements. Meaning buy a bigger injector than you need for the moment. Tuning 440's isn't hard and aren't too big for n/a, but would still leave plenty of room if you up the compression/get bigger cams or headwork, spray or boost in the future. Instead of having to buy bigger injectors...again.
Just make sure to get Peak and Hold (low impedence) if you're car needs them or Saturated (high impedence) if thats what it takes. Instead of using p-n-h injectors in a car that needs saturated and having to wire up a resistor box. Doing so is very simple and doesn't take very long, but if you're gunna spend the money get ones that are plug and play (so to speak).

you can lose good power using to big of an injector, you shouldnt need more than 345s really.. the prelude oem ones are to find

thats not true. If you tune and scale down the fuel maps for the larger injectors then it will run exactly the same as smaller injectors and will leave room for more power. But if all you do is toss in some big injectors and expect it to run good, then you're in for a big surprise. It will run super rich and make less power.
I've tuned n/a cars with 440cc injectors with no problems, in fact, i'm planning on buying some 440s for my car asap, i've maxed my 240s out already.
Its all in the tuning. You're idle won't suffer either.

i want saturated, not peak and hold and i'm looking for new injectors, so i know they all flow the same amount, you're taking a chance with used injectors. One or two might not flow as much as the others, and unless they've been sonically cleaned and flow tested/matched then its pretty much a gamble. And for what you would pay for cleaning/flow testing you could pretty much buy brand new injectors.
But thanks for the offer karl.

hey, can anything bad come out of having injectors that are bigger than u need? like i'm boosting and guesin that whp would be 200 or under, not lookin for any crazy power(at the moment), so if i had 440CC DSM injectors, would this make any difference from having 310 or 370?
