Which Injectors??

Looking to upgrade my injectors when i fit my GTT valved cyl head!

Cant decide between the M7 400cc or the JCW 380cc ones

Has anyone got the M7 ones fitted? looking for feedback more than anything else!

Also is there anyone else who can flow the supercharger other than M7?

Cheers Ricky!

best advice .... don't mess with the s/c

as for injectors the 380cc will be plenty for your car

I have tuned cars with both and the 380cc are just fine up to 220whp

Cheers for the reply

Why should i not mess with the s/c?

Have you got the JCW 380cc injectors on your car then mate?

Do you not think that the 400cc injectors will be better as they will be operating at a lower duty cycle than the 380cc ones but hopefully retaining a good atomization of the petrol!

I have 440cc injectors because I have a twincharge system (s/c and turbo)

the JCW injectors are a much better quality injector from what I have seen. Unless you are running nitrous the 380s are plenty

I haven't seen enough hp extracted from the porting to justify the expense

different rod bolts, custom forged CP pistons

Sounds very nice & strong also, I was looking at accralite pistons for my s but was advised that the power i would be getting would not require a change, also would cost me about £900 for the pistons alone!

At what power did you require a piston change, or did they just melt?

If you are going to run the car over 20psi you will need a set of pistons

You can get a set like mine for around 7-800 dollars

they say they are good to 600hp

A ported s/c?

Looking at it, there doesn't seem to be much that you could do anything too?

Ive sold a set of 400cc M7 injectors to Martin Sullivan...im sure when he sees this thread he will comment on them.

The M7 400cc injectors are best suited to 240bhp+ applications
