Tuning 1.6 throttle, fuel injectors upgrade

I think you'll find most people on here have focussed on three main areas to beef up the 1.6 engine: induction; exhaust; re-map.

Some Greek Stilo enthusiasts may have attempted turbo charging, but I don't think it's easy.
 
I'm no expert but surely fitting bigger injectors just throws more fuel into the engine, which is great news if you have a reason for more fuel but otherwise will just waste it/flood the engine?
 
A remap is relatively pointless (in terms of seeking a large power increase) on a standard petrol car. Get a performance (not a 15inch bore job...) exhaust and a decent induction kit, then a remap. Don't expect to be racing Type R Civics any time soon though. I'm pretty sure even then larger injectors will be no use though since all they will do is allow more of what isn't needed to be thrown into the cylinders.

Hope this helps.
Johnny
