Sydneykid, have you ever tested a 370cc injector at 58psi?

Also, I realise that bosch pumps are rated at 75psi, but would mounting the pump inline after a surge tank have any bearing on the max flow potential, also have you ever tested a bosch pump to see if it flows what it is rated at?

I wouldnt put it past bosch to rate pumps on the lean side, as if someone took there figures and then the pump didnt match they would probably have good grounds for a legal suit.

might be interesting if the increase flow on injectors varied exponentially instead of linearly as pressure increased. this wouldnt be so evident at smaller increases in fuel pressure - might go further to explaining the seemingly impossible.

Just guessing, but there must be a reasonable explanation for this, and I think its a bit of a cop out to just say the dyno is reading high.

Steve, I don't mind them thinking the dyno reads high, I know better, and at Perth Autosalon I'm sure it will read higher than SST's dyno. Either way, as I said before, it's not the power which is the interesting factor, it's that fact that it's stock internals, stock injectors and stock cams:D

That is fair enough; in that case did you drive your car on the street at that power level (if yes did it feel like a 120+ mph car) or did you get that reading as a one of on the dyno to see what could be had...?

What sort of power did you have on the 13.5@104mph run and was it on the same dyno...?

GTST V spec, nice figures. The most i could make on stock injectors was 387rwhp. By going to 660cc injectors my power increased to 421rwhp. I know a car with same set up as you making 402rwhp on 12psi. But the key is, "GAS". Im sorry but i dont think you made those figures with out nitrous. If you did then f**k me!!

When you do let us know. :D

The only thing that comes across as impossible is achieving that power with the stock injectors, especially at %80 duty cycle. Maybe you are running more pressure than you know through the fuel reg.

The bottomline is that your setup at that power level could not be considered as conservative and safe and even though it is achievable, it's advisable to upgrade the injectors and internals. I am linking your thread with the US mentality of running 9's with a stock bottom end in a Supra.:D

Emre, I plan on doing internals, and I'm only using this power for a dyno shootout until I get them in, on the road it's a more convervative 360rwhp:D Maybe the fuel reg is reading wrong, I can put another meter on to check though.

RNS11Z, NOS is for loosers, and I sure as hell don't have it, I can send you a pic of my engine bay if you want to look for the NOS lines:bahaha:

Hi guys, the Bosch fuel pump data follows;

Bosch 910 pump is 200 litres per hour and supports 450 bhp at 73.5 PSI

Bosch 975 pump is 228 litres per hour and supports 500 bhp at 73.5 PSI

Bosch 984 pump is 228 litres per hour and supports 500 bhp at 73.5 PSI

Bosch 044 pump is 330 litres per hour and supports 730 bhp at 73.5 PSI

Bosch 040 pump is 235 litres per hour and supports 520 bhp at 73.5 PSI

Sorry maybe I need to restate something I posted earlier, it was late, I was tired etc.

Increasing the flow potential of the fuel pump does not increase the flow of the injectors. The only thing that increases the flow of the injectors is increasing the fuel pressure at the injector ie; in the fuel rail.

There is one exception, that is when the flow rate of the injectors is greater than the flow rate of the pump. I have also seen one case where the fuel pressure regulator was too small to return the excess fuel to the tank.

Hi Steve you asked, "have you ever tested a 370cc injector at 58psi?"

That's a bit tricky, the Bosch pumps are rated to 73.5 psi, so that would only leave 15.5 psi (1.05 bar) for boost. I have found that "overdriving" an injector past 110% of its rated pressure (and therefore flow) makes the results unreliable/inconsistent. The solenoids and springs have trouble closing the injector against more than that sort of pressure. Plus it puts huge strain on the standard pipes, hoses and clamps. So I simply don't do it.

As for the flow rating, I have only tesed an 044 and it flowed 2.75 litres in 30 seconds, which was exactly its 330 lph rating.

Hope that helps

I did the 13.5@104 with about 260rwhp.

I've done 118mph with the 360rwhp I use on the street, and that's with bald tyres, so I'm confident I'll get a decent mph:D

hahaha big difference between doing a 118mph and getting the power down to get a decent enough 60ft time to be able to do 118mph,

When are the next drags on as it will prove what you've got once and for all, time slips don't lie :D

sydneykid, could you explain what you said about an RB25 being 90% efficient, and an F1 being 97.2% efficient? from where are these values taken? I guessing not from the chemical energy of petrol to flywheel power. From the little amount of mechanical eng. that i studied i was under the impression a petrol car, overall, was about 30% efficient

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
