Alot of variables go into this. Depends on your turbo and whether you have a rising rate fuel pressure regulator or not. There is not "set psi" for an injector.

Rep Power: 583 ^ Like Andy said. Chances are, you don't need bigger injectors than that. I run 8-9 psi on stock injectors.

Rep Power: 0 Depends heavily on your turbocharger, tune, BSFC, fuel system....Think more in terms of power levels than PSI. In theory, assuming stock FP, RSX injectors should max out at 175-210hp.

Rep Power: 400 at 177 WHP, mine are running at 95%. I need some bigger ones. Meanwhile an hour later, on the same dyno, Edwin's ran out of steam at about 163, So it depends on a lot, but most importantly, Air volume in. Its not power, its how much air you can shove in there that determines the fuel you can add with it. Bigger turbo, more air flow, need more gas. I'd imagine you probably can run about 8 or 9 psi with a smaller one, but maybe only 6 or 7 with something larger.

Rep Power: 281 Someone posted recently about modifying the RSX injector to increase the flow slightly. I think some people were seeing 340 cc out of it afterwards. This is by no meens recommended by me, just an extra option. Like andy said, having a rising rate regulator helps.. It increasing the fuel pressure according to how much boost it sees. (Ex. 10 psi from turbo the regulator adds 10 psi fuel) Of course if the injector is almost or is already maxed out then you should upgrade. It doesnt hurt to have more than enough rather than too little.

Rep Power: 255 yeh alot of people have their injectors modded balanced and blueprinted...its a cheap alternative to buying another set...if your never going to use your stock ones again
