Fuel injectors from mild to wild

I'm working on getting all the bolt ons (in my sig) and was wondering when can I get injectors. I will eventually planning on a FP RED with Meth or e85 so I was thinking about 1200cc's. Can i get those in my bolt on phases and just scale them accordingly or will that make things to difficult without the need for all that fuel yet.

You should probably do them last. Take them to where you are getting tuned, and install them or have them installed. It may be difficult to start, escpecially if you are coming from stock injectors. This is what I'm going to do, I'm coming from stock injectors about to be 1000cc.

To the OP, why are you going with 1200's if 880's or 850's will do just fine? I'm going the Red w/ meth route and I'm getting 850's. Do you plan on going bigger than the Red in the future?

The more injector the better. What happens when he decides to buy a gt35r later ? Then he has to buy injectors again.

Learn from other peoples mistakes and upgrade the right way the first time.

Well he did mention the possibility of e-85. But I agree get the 1200 if you plan to run a e-85 tune. But if your ecu is tuned for stock just have the injectors installed where your having the car tuned

1200 and a double pumper is pretty popular setup for e85 and if I just go with am aquamist instead so be a have insurance in the future. So u guys think the stock will last until I put the red in. I will have all bolt ons and cams

I disagree strongly with this approach

The smaller the injector the crisper the partial throttle operation will be and the better the fuel atomization - hence the movement on modern cars to high pressure (1200 psi and up) direct cylinder injection.

My recomendation as a tuner is to obtain an injector that runs at approx 85 - 90% IDC at full load for the intended application.

Good injectors are just not that expensive and IMHO, its not worth it to have a car with a rough idle so that you only buy "your last set of injectors you will ever need" even though you only presently need a much smaller injector.

Buy only as much injector as you need is my advice.
