You don't need new injectors with just bolt-ons. The stock ones are more than sufficient unless you go f/i

As if right now the stock ones, because you cannot tune to compensate for the injectors on the 2.2L

The 2.4L and 2.0L need bigger injectors, you can still have fun with your squirtguns.

Also understand that putting on a larger injector without controlling anything will be your downfall.

Your computer is set to run at a certain duty cycle for every driving condition from idle to wide open throttle.

Think of it like this, a 24 # injector at 25% duty cycle is going to flow less fuel than a 34# injector at 25% duty cycle.

Excess fuel will cause overly rich fuel mixtures and a power LOSS.

But like everyone said, there shouldn't be a need for larger injectors.

what injectors are an option for us anyway, say if we're taking the motor up to 7Kish...I know stock injectors can't provide enough fuel for that airflow.

If you need them for an upgrade - it will let you know. Such as with the Garrett Alpha Turbo Kit - it gives you larger injectors with the kit. Otherwise...you dont need them.

Quick and easy would be stock ss/sc or irl injectors. they are cheap and easy to find but you would need something to tune them of course.

That was cause you put in larger injectors and didn't change anything, correct?

Curious: what size did you go with? The 32 #?
