I bought some injectors a little while back and they seem to be getting more and more suss.

i got them flow tested the other day and these are the readings i got for some 555cc inj.

71cc @40 psi for 15 sec

69cc @40 psi for 15 sec

70cc @40 psi for 15 sec

71cc @40 psi for 15 sec

71cc @40 psi for 15 sec

72cc @40 psi for 15 sec

All done at 36ms

I don't know if he tested them correctly but the figures as far as i can tell dont meet 555cc however you work it out.

cheers

Done a lot of this stuff before myself.

The info given is not the absolute flow rate of the injectors, but a flow rate for them being pulsed on & off for 15 seconds, rather than a minute.

However there is a lot of info missing. It doesn't tell you what proportion of the time the injectors are turned on (duty cycle) & what speed they are turning on & off at.

I think the 35milliseconds refers to how long the injector is on for each time it is pulsed, but without the other info it means nothing.

40psi is also an odd pressure to use as normally flow ratings on injectors is done using 3 bar of pressure or 43.5 PSI.

To put it in perspective the rating you have been given is from the people that tested it is:

284cc/min @ 2.76 Bar with ?% duty cycle & 36ms duration for each pulse

The rating for your injectors as you have stated is:

555cc/min @ 3 bar with 100% duty cycle (Ie it is on 100% of the time)

I think i understand what you mean.

So it is probable that the injectors will make 555cc at 100% duty

The reason im asking is because i just want to make sure i run them safely when i install and retune.

Do you think i should find someone else to flow test them?

Yes there is still a good chance they are fine. I'm guessing these are the Jecs body feed injectors (same style & brand as original injectors) never had much trouble with these in my experience, but yes it would be good to double check.

Ask them if they've tested other sets of these injectors before, they should have data on the other sets (I kept copies of all my testing data for future reference, which came in very handy) they may be able to tell you if the rates were normal.

Pulse testing injectors is a good way to test them, I did most of my testing that way. I'd also check the spray patterns too to make sure that the fuel is vapourising properly.

It's definantely a good idea to flow test them at maximum especially if you have little or no previous data on their 100% flow, just so you know what they're meant to be doing.

Your set looks like they're flowing fairly evenly from the results, if he wasn't using a proper flow gauge or timing setup that could account for some of the variation, still acceptable though.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
