The 1Y is a great base for a performance engine.For example, the rods look much beefier than on the AAZ (no actual test data on this, but they are really beefy to look at, I-profile style).The 1Y has oil squirters, a well-flowing (in 8V terms) head and very good manifolds. I would take a 1Y any day over an AAZ.About injectors, at 280 hp you still don't need upgrades
i was reading over daves 200hp build the last couple days, and bigger injectors do not make more power for our cars. his 200hp was with a 9mm pump and stock 1.6 injectors mercedes nozzles actually made less power with it.
