Honest opinions on FIC 1450's please!!!
Hey gang, I got a set of fic 1450's brand new, Heard and read alot of good/okay things about them before getting them, after i recieved them, i happened to have come across alot of negatives lol. Can you guys that use these please give me an honest opinion about these injectors? Thank you so much.
My mods are
stock evo 8 bottom end 100k miles
evo 9 turbo
ported oem turbo mani
22psi turbosmart wg
MAP o2 dump
full 3" turboback
wally 255
GSC S2's
supertech exhaust valves
supertech intake valves
supertech dual valvesprings
kiggly HLA
egr delete (head and manifold)
3mm thermal intake gasket.

still have the car apart, therefore have not used injectors yet. thank you for reading. your opinion will help alot.

yes
e85, and i was going to use my fp red for this build, got rid of it, figured If im on the stock bottom end and would have to give ip torque, id go with a 9 turbo and get the most out of it with all the bolt ons. Bigger is okay because i guess it would just mean lower IDC's. but what im wondering is how is drivability, idle cold starts on these.

wow..
thank you for all of your responses and opinions, I honestly dont like to cut corners, and ordered these without much research really, Will most likely get rid of them since they are still brand nee in bubble wrap, and go with ID 1300's most likely.

The large low impedance injectors we came out with really opened the market up in a great way in the past when there weren't any other good options available. They performed much better and tuned much easier than comparable injectors of the size, and there are still quite a number of really happy customers using them today.
With that said, they're still old technology compared to modern Bosch injectors like our 1100cc high impedance injector which is going to be more linear at short pulse widths and be easier to tune as a result.
To make a good injector recommendation we'd really need to know what your power goals are, but our 1100cc injectors are really popular, and will support roughly 450 whp on E85 at 43.5psi and up over 500 whp on E85 at 58 psi base fuel pressure. If you need to go bigger, we also have a 1650cc injector available that you can also expect great results from (look up English Racing's video review on them including idle quality).
If you search reviews for these I'm confident you'll have all kinds of warm fuzzies afterwards. Like all of our injectors, they come with complete flow and latency data to make tuning a breeze.
They're really a great value with how good they are, so want to make sure you're looking at a fair comparison here across the newer technology high impedance injectors available.

Yes, and a gnarly fuel pump. Pumps flow less when fuel pressure is higher. When you raise pressure, you need to make sure the pump flows enough at that higher pressure.
Best to get an injector that works for your goals at 43.5psi base. The FIC 1650 hi-Z are great in my car.
