![Question](https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I currently have pretty basic mods:
-bursher turbo back exhaust
-ams intercooler
-hks hardpipe kit
-hks bov
-manuel boost controller
-bursher intake
-and a Cobb map off of the accessport
If I am looking to convert to e85 which injector size should I use between 1000 and 1250? I have heard that if im not going to be pushing over 450 whp I should stick with something like 1000's for efficiency-
I would really like to get to about 400 whp but not much more, I really want to keep alot of the power down low instead of loseing it for huge power up top. I would much rather run strong low to top, and have better street maners like ive read about the kelfords-
I will also be doing these mods after I switch to e85-
-fp Red turbo
-kelford 272 cams
and one day exhaust/intake manifolds with external waistgate
Which size would be best for e85 with and without the fpRed turbo, and kelford cam mods?
(I decided to go with the fpRed turbo, and kelford 272 cams due to the great posts I've read on how the fpRed doesn't lose much on the spool speed, and the kelfords don't lose hardly anything down low and have amazing gains mid/top range which is exactly what i'm looking for)
Please let me know what you all think, I really appreciate it!

Thanks for your thoughts, I know that I'm gonna get a fpred/black turbo or something similar, and the Kelford 272 cams- As of now i'm leaning toward the 1250 fic blue max unless someone can give me a good spil on why i should do something else.

my specs are:
2.3 stroker
Cosworth M2 cams
Precision 1000cc
Perrin fuel rail
Largest Perrin intercooler
3" exhaust
Injen intake
FpRed 80mm ported
FullRace street manifold
65mm throttle body
at 1.6 bar the load is abou 65-68% at 1.8 bar about 70-72%
i think 1000 cc is more than enough

You are only running 23 psi of boost though. For instance, if he decided to go with race gas, or E-85 he could easily turn the boost up into the 30s and then it would require a lot of fuel.
Why not go more than less? With the tuning capabilities of today, larger injectors have no issues on the stock ECU, so why skimp out and have to buy another set down the road? Just get a set that is larger than you need now, so you have some headroom to upgrade other things down the road.
Just my thoughts. I had to swap out a set of 800s I think for my 1200s once I upgraded to E-85. My IDC is only in the 70s though, plenty for my motor build coming up...
