hey all done,

im interested in Injectors. im unsure of when they are needed.

i get the idea that they obviously increase fuel flow etc. but do they increase power?

or do they just to keep the fuel pressure up?

if i was to put bigger injectors into my car it would do nothing unless i had a bigger fuel pump? ran more boost?

i have done a search and found nothing like this if there is a thread on injectors alone please redirect me :P

cheers.

When you are modifying a turbo vehicle, the point of most modifications (eg. upping the boost/bigger turbo) is to be able to push more air into your engine. In doing so, you must also push more fuel in to acheive the correct ratio an engine needs to burn the excess air you are shoving in. This is why you need to upgrade components of your fuel system like injectors & pump.

Therefore injectors alone with the same tune/setup will not help you.

Whether you need injectors or not is all about your power aim - a high power aim will typically need injectors that can push out the amount of fuel you need. A search will come up with plenty of recent threads about injectors and what power each type will handle.

Hi,

When you get a way of adjusting injector opening times (After market ECU or piggy bak) you need to get larger injectors when your current ones are on 100% duty cycle, or "are open for as long as possible"

I once explained it a way to a sibling, Making power is like making a cordial drink. Motors like to use a certain strength of water / cordial (air / fuel) mix. Lean is too much water, rich is too much cordial. ~14:7:1 is the best, but you want it a little stronger under load; 12-12.3:1

So how ever much power your making (cordial mix drink) you want to (relatively) keep the same water / cordial ratios :P

Injectors simply maintain fuel control to keep within the same strength ratio's through the myamid of differnt engine conditions; they supplement power, not create it. One seperate component doesnt 'make' power, without a dependancy on another. Tis the motors ability as a whole, to move as much cordial mix as possible, that makes poowaah

You might not find info like this on a hipo forum as its kinda 101 automotive :D

Hope it helps

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
