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.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
