Stock Fuel Injectors

if i have TBE, up-pipe, CAI, and turbo exhaust manifold and sti intercooler would my stock injectors run on full cycle and eventually damage my motor?

Not even close.Is this a trick question?The only time you would need to upgrade your injectors is when you change to bigger turbo or seriously raise the boost.

actually it is possible to max the stock injectors with the stock turbo. do you have any engine management, or just the bolt on mods?

i'm running an up-pipe, turboback exhaust, and re-flashed ecu on the stock fuel injectors and turbo and see injector duty cycles in the high 90% range according to Delta Dash.

yours may not be so high since the ECU is still stock. if you want to make the most of your mods, you may want to look into some engine management. every tuner feels it's safe to run the injectors this high, so i wouldn't worry about it too much.

the only sort of dyno run on this setup is with DeltaDash, but that's somewhat close to the local mustang dyno. i hit 192whp and 178lb-ft of torque on my automatic. hopefully i'll be getting dyno tuned soon, but this feels pretty good as is.

Most OEM vehicles run about a 80-85% duty cyle so thats not that much higher.Plus if it really becomes an issue an easy solution is an A.F.P.R. raise up the fuel pressure a couple PSI and you be flowing more cc's at the same duty cycle.
