[Mk2] [Turbo] 800cc Injectors

[Poker Face]

Hi I have a rev 2 turbo with an AEM ems and boost controller the engine was is from a GT4 with a CT-20b fitted,dcat,aftermarket charge cooler and induction filter.

Was thinking about putting in some 800cc injectors as part of my gradual upgrades. I know I will need to map the injectors but is there anything else I will need? Also more importantly is it worth while with what I have at the moment ?

1001-87096 is the part number for the ones I have seen £150 bin on ebay.

Some may disagree, but for the power & torque that 800's can deliver with added boost, I would fit forged pistons first. I would also get an uprated clutch.

I suppose if I go for forged pistons I could get the injector done at the same time.

That gives me something to think about.

800's in a stock motor is pointless. You would gain nothing until you forge and fit larger turbo etc.

Plus these are top feed injectors, you would need a top feed fuel rail to suit, like the wolfkat ones

Thanks for the info Jonny and guys I value your opinions if I do his its going to be a big and expensive job. I'll try and put some money to one side when I sell the Mrs's motor.

I want a bit more power you see. When I had the car back earlier this year it seemed great but after a bit it just didn't feel as quick. I got it dyno'd and was about the same.

Once again thanks, better start saving.

I have been thinking things over and doing a bit of research and its all well and good saying do xy&z all together. I can only afford to do a bit at a time. If I was to save the money would end up being used for something else I can assure you of that.
Stock pistons are meant to be good for 400bhp. So given I'm going to have to pay someone to do the work as I don't have the time or know how. Should I go for injectors after a forge piston upgrade?

At the moment I have fitted.

Engine and turbo from a St-205
AEM ems
Aftermarket exhaust
Ebc
Induction kit and piping from air vent and scoop(Won't make any difference I'm sure)
Aftermarket cc and fan

I want about 400bhp and I am prepared to do it in steps. I can't justify ridiculous spends in one go on my 'fun' car and I will get more longevity out of my motor even though it will cost more in the long run.

Forged pistons.

Thanks Peter, how many manhours to do the pistons and injectors at the same time?
