Default Injectors

So I've been running in my head over and over again the mods I will be starting on my car. Will my stock injectors be able to handle a descent upgrade should I bump up to larger injectors. here'* my list.
  • GT2 cam
  • headers
  • N* TB
  • LQ4 MAF
  • L26 upper
  • ported intake
  • CAT Delete
  • FWI
  • HV3 (later)
  • HD trans (would the quicker gearing need bigger injectors)

SO, do I need to add injectors to the list?

You should be OK, I ran my stockers till just this spring. It will depend on how much air you can pull threw the engine. Seeing your not changing the heads it should be OK. But only a good scan will show the injector duty.

Stock injectors should be fine. Like Dan said, watch your scans and see if the motor has more bandwidth for air/fuel mixture. But more than likely unless you add some significantly modded heads, I doubt you'll be able to push more out to let more in. Bigger injectors usually mean a need to increase the lpm for fuel delivery and that means a new pump as well.

Agreed, you should be fine. If you need bigger, I'd suggest picking up a set of L67'* from a JY for $5 each.

I'm still on my stock L36 injectors, and there'* plenty of room to go. You may need bigger injectors because of the cam, but we'll just have to wait and see.

The different gear ratio will not require new injectors because it just makes the engine spin at other RPMs at the same car speed. Your engine should not be starving for fuel at any RPM regardless of how fast the car moves. I think I explained that sort of clearly...
