If your 1.8 is a four cylinder you should be pretty good. That gives you about .45L per cylinder where our 2.5L V6's have 4.167L per cyilinder that requires a lower RF value. However if you have the tiny Mazda 1.8L V6 then your really stuck. You could run two sets of smaller injectors and stage them with MSI.

the more I thought about that the more sense it made. Having smaller displacement PER CYLINDER will cause this not smaller total displacement. I thought I was really screwed, but guess thats not the case. :D

Unfortunately, I don't think this will ever be "straightened out" due to the limitations of the MS-1 processor speed.

But to go with 550's I'd deal with a richer than normal idle if necessary (winter starting could be a problem though).
