Injectors will want to be about 460cc/min at 45psi fuel pressure and 80% duty cycle

460's!!!

That's a lot of fuel. You don't want to jump to high as the fine control will be difficult without a good ECU.

My turbo supplier - one of the biggest in my country - actually sent me the following turbo due to the high altitude Im staying, well above 5000ft ASL. The unit is a T28/T3.
These guys do turbo installations all the time and I was told today by the headman that they never modify 1.6 to 2.0L engines and turbo them standard as they are between 0.6 - 0.9 bar with no problems and all their work carries a 6 months guarantee.... According to the company they usually get around 250hp and in some rare cases close to 300hp before working on the bottom end on 2.0L engines:eek:
Apparently the trick is in the correct mapping of the CPU on a dyno.

However, Im going for a mild boost of only about 8psi (0.5bar) and I believe that the Ford Zetec is up to that easily in stock standard form and should give me a minimum of 200hp without breaking a sweat.

I have a clip of a Focus 1.8 turbo on the dyno producing 239.8bhp. The mod was done by Bailey engineering Ltd and the engine stock standard.:cool:

Yep that's about the right size try here http://www.injector.com/injectorselection.php

Although my preference would be more around the 400cc and up the fuel pressure a little if you start to run out of duty cycle
