Default what injectors and throttlebody size? turbo

alright so im going to be running about 18 psi hopefully on the turbo... so i was thinking 32lb injectors, 75mm throttle body and spacer, ported cobra intake to 75mm, and 76mm mass air? do i need to go with higher flow injectors and bigger t/b and maf? ill be using a stand alone fmu probly also. motor will have ported gt40 cast heads, mild cam and lifters, undecided on bottom end. thanks

The TB and MAF should be okay, but you'll most likely need larger inj's....probably 42's for that much boost, but I'm not sure.

What RWHP and/or ET are you shooting for?
IMO, I would go with the largest high impedence injector. I think 50's are the largest. Unless you plan to tune with some aftermarket software in which case I would go with an even larger low impedance inj like 72's. Those 32's aren't going to cut it...I've never heard of 32# inj for a stang.
TB is fine; however, I would go with an 80mm MAF meter min.
Those GT40 cast heads will be your bottle neck.
Install a wideband.
Your RWHP goal will determine what bottom end to get.

32lb injectors??? You will need to run 42's at minimum w/ 18psi.. What block do you plan on running this with? The stocker ?????? GOOD LUCK!

I've seen 65lb high imp injectors and I personally run 60lb high imp (the largest out at that time). Don't waste money on a 50lb injector. Ford rates their injectors at a lower psi than the aftermarket. If you were to rate a 50lb injector at the same psi as Ford, it only comes out to ~44lb (I may be off 1psi but that's close). For an upgrade on 42s, you should always step up to at least a 55lb injector to have a real gain.

I would also buy a large injector for the intent to scrap that FMU. And I agree with an 80mm MAF, but I'd get a PMAS and stay away from C&L.

42 lbs are good up to 20 PSI. As long as your fuel pump can keep up.

damn i need that big of an injector?? ****. i would think it would run rich as hell like that.... but i mean im only going for maybe 500 hp maybe... i just love the feel of a turbo over a supercharger. just got rid of my turbo rx7 and i dont want anything other than a turbo... no bottom end will not be stock... i wnt to run a 347 but ill probly just end up running a 306 all forged of course.... so im only looking for 500 hp... ill probly just end up settling for like 15-16lbs of boost... that should be good for 500hp wouldnt you say?

you will be running more like 550-600rwhp with that set-up.
you will also need a Dart or A4 block to handle that power.

check it out...... this guy is running 331 with A4 block, AFR 205's, stock cam, 70mmTB, 42#inj, 255 pump, 15lbs boost = 555rwhp

he also noted that this maxed out his 42's and was upgrading

^^ Agree... you are definetly pushing your limits with a stock block. It would be a waste to build a nasty *** turbo combo and have it split on the third run!
