hey guys just wondering i was thinking of using 6 S15 480cc injectors but not sure where there power limit will be can anyone shed some light for me i dont know much about injector calculating, and i have been told running massive injectors is bad for fuel comsuption etc

Power looking at 250+ hoping for 280 not sure what it will make just dont want to run out of fuel :thumbsup:

Thanks

You can generally get 280kw with GTR injectors (6x 444cc) without sweating (without using an FPR), so I don't see any problem getting 300kw from those 480cc injectors, there is always the option of a FPR down the track to squeeze the extra 15-20w out of those S15 injectors (but generally not recommended as the extra pressure affects the spray pattern)

I thought s15 injectors were really only 440cc, except in an s15, as they run higher rail pressures? What ecu are you using?

They're actually 450cc at standard fuel pressure, 480cc is rated at a different fuel pressure as stated on that graph, cbf finding it.

Well of course you do - it's your car. However factually what you have posted is simply not possible with just 510cc injectors. Something is up.

You are either leaving something out:

Happy dyno or higher than factory fuel pressure configuration. Which one is it?

This is usually around 85% duty (give or take) in the factory fuel pressure.

510cc = 510hp

380kw = 310rwkw (or so)... at 85% duty.

360rwkw @ 100% duty

Given as a number of people have stated 440cc injectors max out ~300-310rwkw

440cc = 440hp.

330kw or 260rwkw @ 85%

300rwkw @ 100% which is exactly the max point for standard fuel pressures as already stated (surprise!)

Disagree all you want, 510cc injectors simply cannot be flowing 400hp @ 45% duty. They can only supply 510hp @ 85%

There is more than enough information/results/posts in the pages of this forum, and all across various injector suppliers to back this up, including the 3 people that already so far disagree and no doubt there will be more if this thread keeps going.

EG: If you would make your claim with 510's @ 45% duty, that would mean not one RB26 owner would ever have needed to upgrade factory injectors for 300-320rwkw.

Fact is every single RB26 owner has had to do so... Proof is in the pudding.

(given your claim would mean 440c injectors flowing 320rwkw without being maxed out, an impossibility @ factory pressures).

It's fairly simple. Don't get the size that's just big enough for your power level, because once you are there, you'll want more. Guaranteed.

Go at least 740cc so you can run 50/50 ethanol or E85 (if it ever gets consistent out of the bowser).

If you tune it right there's no harm in running bigger injectors, very little cost difference, and way more headroom for more power down the track.

Do it once, do it right. :P

    • 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.
