I was just wondering if i had a BB+ head and a modded cam (not sure which one) would i get the full benefit from the standard injectors? cud i fit bigger flow ones? :?
Cheers.

Obviously you can't just stick in bigger injectors and go because you would be just over fueling.
In the Group A Nova rally car setup the bigger injectors that are used are 20xe ones along with an upgrade Ecu and air flow meter.
Harry Hockley would be worth ringing about this as they sell these units.

I wouldn't bother with bigger injectors after minor mods. They won't give any more power, only help the engine cope when you approach around the 150bhp mark.

Does bill actually do a B++ for the 1.6? I know he can on smaller engines as the valves are smaller to start with, but it is very tight between the 1600 valves to go anyty larger.

no you dont need them.

when you run it on the dyno you can check the fuelling with wide band lamda and if its getting lean (coz your running out of injector duty cycle), then its fairly easy to up fuel pressure.

But id say thie your mods its not neccessary.
