hey guys

just wondering, is there a table or conversion method to work out what size injectors can support what power (hp)?

i did a quick search and it has been suggested that 1cc supports roughly 1hp, so 700cc inj supports around 700hp

some1 also came up with; cc x 6/5 = hp (700cc x 6/5 = 840hp), which seems quite high

please confirm :)

cheers,

Andy

stock gtst injectors and a FPR will do 250rwkw

well i've already bought the injectors and fuel pump, and i want some breathing room in the event that the high flow makes much less than 250rwkw and i get bored and decide to strap on a bigger turbo :( . but i wouldn't be aiming any higher than 280rwkw, cause i can't afford a rebuild :) . so the 440cc injectors should still be up the task

so why is it that i've read articles in hpi etc that have cars with a power output of about 500rwkw but they're using 1600cc injectors?? do injectors still work accurately even when they're being used below the level they're designed for?

Personally I would not want to be using any injector (or fuel system for that matter) at more than MAX 85% of its capacity. In case shit happens, it is probably a good insurance. (having said that how anal and redundany you want / need to be with your fuel system depends on what what your doing with the vehicle and how far you want to take things), $$$ add up quickly :D

yea mate but how many 1600cc squirters are they using??

many racing/high performance cars use big injectors to suppliment their apetite. they are called 2ndary injectors. and it is very common in rotors. e.g. they may be using a few 500cc injectors then use a couple of 2000cc injectors to beef up the support.

i personally dont know y they do it. perhaps using all 2000cc squirters may be too expensive or inefficient....

im sure someone on here might know?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
