Ok, so I want to run e85 in my car this spring, and I was looking to get some 1650s. I was planning on tuning it for pump gas as well, and was wondering am I gonna run into a lot of problems with pump gas and injectors that big?
60lb/min bolt on turbo
ecmlink v3 (will be buying asap)
1g w/ stockish 6 bolt.

Those seem a bit larger then what you need. I'd get something sized a little more appropriately for your setup. Everyone I've heard of using 1600's had WORSE idle/drivability on pump. So if you're going to be running pump, I'd definately look into injectors matched closer to your setup rather then just going with huge ones.

I would go with the 1600's. Once you start tuning with E85 you're gonna fall in love with it anyway. So I highly doubt you will be running pump gas very often unless your about to run out of gas. The 1600's should supply you enough fuel.

Damn thats a huge injector. Do you think you'll need that much flow for your setup on E85? How many fuel pumps are needed to supply that kind of fuel?

I would say the 1600's would do him fine but hell.. why not go all out! I've seen people with around the same setup using 1600's fine with E85. He's gonna need at least dual Walbro's..

I doubt 1650's are needed for his setup. I hope they work out well for you, but personally I would have gone with something a little smaller to aid in drivability. Let us know how those new injectors work out for you.
Also, what fuel pump setup are you running? Just dual in-tanks?

Most people must go way overboard on injectors at the mention of E85. Are you going for 1000hp?

1650's would support around 800 max crank horse at a base fuel pressure of 45 psi.
With the fact of using e85 and also the fact there the Blumax injectors, there shouldnt be any issues.
