We perhaps ought to look at Ford injectors or something cheaper than the

Mazda's.

Perhaps Tracy has some favorites?

I haven't tried anything but Mazda injectors.   One EC2 user installed
standard Ford 5.0 L injectors (around 19 lb/hr)  which were way too small.
He went to 30 lb/hr parts and I was able to adjust the EC2 to work with

them

but just barely adequate since he had a turbo installation.  30 lb /hr
should be considered the minimum for NA rotaries and 50 lb/hr is close to
the stock Mazda  part.

Remember, you need to use 80% of the rated value for your max output
calculation.  I had planned on using four 50# injectors.  I'm planning on
making the manifold a four-into-two setup with double fuel rails and two
injectors per rail.  This is capacity overkill with all four running on a
NA motor, but, with two injectors per rotor you now have enough capacity
through one bank to get back on the ground if the other bank gives up for
any reason.

No reason to spend the money on Mazda injectors when there are a lot of
others out there with the same impedance and a lot cheaper.  I think I
remember Rochester units at about $30 or $40 each.  Of course if you
already have the Mazda injectors...
