bought some injectors

[Alan Pritchard]

Ok, heres my reference data I used to size the injectors. Its taken from a
pdf file published by autospeed.
500cc per minute is approximately equal to 49 lbs per hour, which is equal
to approximately 100hp
lbs/hour=cc per min /10.2
lbs per hour = hp/2.04
cc per min = hpx5

ok, what I did not realise was that this is based on 100% duty cycle
therefore........
24 x 2.04 = 48.96 hp per injector
48.96 x 5 = 244.8 @100% duty (held open)
safe limit on a road car approx. 80%
therefore......
244.8 / 100 * 80 = 195.84
ok, so not ideal, close to your maths......
 extra half bar fuel rail pressure will bring that safe working limit to
215hp... still not ideal.... DOH!!!!!
Read the small print before buying stuff!!!!!!! May see if they have been
sent, and get some bigger ones...

Um, only one issue with that. 5 24lb injectors at 80% duty cycle will only
support a 5cyl up to 180hp. You can use those for now, but you'll be running
them past the recomended 80%, but you will be running the injectors hot and
thier expected lifespan will shorten greatly. On an otherwise stock car just
removing the airflow plate and tuning the EFI properly should put you beyond
that 180hp mark. I'd say you should look for some 33lb injectors which
should keep you flowing for 240hp (about what you should expect @ .8bar
boost).

Maybe though I'm wrong on your application, it is a turbo 5 right? I've been
so busy recently I barely remember that MY car is a 5cyl lol.


Heres the formula just in case.
To get injector size if you know the hp:
HP divided by # of Cyl divided by 0.8 times 0.55 = Flow rate
(300hp / 5cyl / .8 x .55 = 41.25lb/hr injector for a 300hp 5cyl car)
If you know your injector size but want max hp use:
lb/hr times # of cyl divided by .55 times .8
(24lb/hr x 5 / .55 x .8 = 174hp)
