Making your 370cc injectors effectively about 259cc.

I'm sure this motor runs great N/A and I wish you glws, but boost is not a good idea for that motor...
I like how you did your math here. You calculated 30% of 370cc to come up with that 259cc like the KA actually comes with 370cc stock.. Just some correction stock KA are 270cc so to convert to E85 will be atleast %30 over stock so it would be additional 81cc on top of 270cc which would be what? 351cc if anything were a bit on the rich side. It's definitely not advisable for any high boost given the parts specs but should be able to handle just small amount to be fun..

Here's a vid of a similar spec running T3/T4, obviously larger injectors, maf it will hold on done right and properly tuned.
