Silly question
I just have a silly question...
I am thinking of buy bigger injectors. I don't have forced induction but wanted to know if that would give me any power gains.. So far I have,, cold air intake, 70mm throttle body, headers, and fully 3 inch exhaust, apexi air fuel... What do you guys think.. would a upgrade on injectors help me any with a good tune?.. or should I just keep the stock ones??

You should have no problem with the stock injectors with only the mods you have listed. If I'm not mistaken people run the stock injectors up to low-mid 300 hp range without any problems.

You dont get power by adding fuel when not necessary. You lose power that way. Remember the leaner your are the more power you will make but you have to be careful because if you are too lean you will damage the motor.
If you went and got injectors and got it properly tuned, you would make no more power than you would with your stock injectors and you would be just wasting money right now. Unless you plan on going FI or do some other serious mods, larger injectors will just be a waste of money.

stay with stock dude. in order to get away with it you would need more mod's than what you have already.
since they say the 00-01 ecu's are on the richer side you could contemplate on getting a 02-03 ecu and tuning your vafc good
i know my car is running richer with my s/c so i am dying to get ems to tune down the richness in the top end

dumb statement... why waste money on a 02-03 ecu.. when you can just make the adjustments on the 00-01 with the vafc that the guy already has.... ... have you been drinking again dan.??

I might be wrong, but Isn't a VAFC on the s2000 sorta a waste of money to begin with? I've always heard that the stock ecu will compensate for the VAFC slowly eventually getting it back to where the ecu wants it. Of course you could just pull out the ecu fuse to make it reset every time, but is this really a smart configuration?
