Injectors needed with HKS 272?

If you have E85 availability, its a must. Try and add all your bolt-ons at one time to cut down on the tuning $$cycles$$

Having run the HKS 272's on stock injectors in the past on 93 octane I will say they worked fine as long as you have installed a Walbro 255.
Personally if you're actually are planning to stay at around 350whp then save your money. The biggest decision you need to make is in regards to what kind of power youre hoping for and what fuel you plan to run in the car. Unless youre tune is on kill mode the stock injectors work fine with the stock turbo assuming you upgraded the fuel pump and assuming you stay on normal pump fuel. The second you consider e85 or much higer boost applications thats when injectors are needed.
So while its one of those things that gives you room for growth, if you never intend to make more power then leave well enough along IMO.

Yea, I'm not going E85... I'm staying on a pump 93 tune. I'm getting a walbro 255 soon, so hopefully that would be sufficient with a LICP, tbe, ported exhaust mani, tune, and 272 cams. How much HP do u think I'm looking at once everythings all together?

OK yeah I wouldnt bother with the injectors then. The car wont make more power with them in your case. That'll only be the case if they were limiting you which wont be happening here.
As for power I wouldn't get too hung up on a number but you should be able to make around 350whp with that setup depending on how much boost you end up running. Im not sure if thats your full mods list but if so I'd look into some form of boost control to add a few more pounds of boost.

Id assume he means 350whp. In terms of maxxing out the stock injectors, its really up to you. If you plan to really push the stock turbo then eventually it will be the bottleneck. But with a mild set of bolt ons its not really needed. Some people really dont like to push injectors past 90% duty cycle but its also been noted many times that they're still pumping fuel past 100% duty cycle.
So the reality is that when people say they run out of injector it doesnt mean that they technically run out of injector but rather it appears that they are out of injector. Now, sure if youre adding more fuel and the car is still going lean up top and not making any changes then yes, you are out of injector at that point. But just bc your duty cycle is high doesnt mean youre out of injector.

MOST of them said change the injectors to either I'D or FIC brands.
Only one gave me advice that if I am keeping my stock turbo, then do not upgrade the injectors. Same Tuner said to have straight pipe to achieve 320-350.
My mechanic recommended to upgrade the springs and retainers when installing kelfords 272, which I did.
Just need some tune now.

OP, I talked to some tuners as I am in the same case as you.
