Sweet. cheers :thumbsup:

Any idea why the Bosch 42lb injectors in the group buy are the same price as the Siemens 60lb?

I looked at the 42lb injectors but you will run out of Injector Duty cycle with very few mods. I am at 100% already and have not even touched the suction pipe yet. If you do the calculator on the GB thread you will see the 60lb ones are a minimum to stay below 80% Duty Cycle.

Siemens are a cheaper injector so you get better bang for buck

my limited knowledge about Neo engines and your VQ beasties the siemens would need to mod the fuel rail higher to suit a full length injector

Would the 42lb be good enough for 220-230awkw?

Or do I need to go to 550?

The issue is apparently LPG jets needs to run near max duty cycle to be effective. They don't flow well @ 60%, which is what 610cc ones will flow at on PULP @ 220ish?

Just remember that 230 awkw is more like 300kw at the motor.

So based on that with a max of

100% duty cycle is 47lb

90% duty cycle you would need 52lb injectors.

80% duty cycle it is 60lb injectors.

So I do think the 42lb ones are a good choice.

you'll be pushing more than that with the setup in line for you buddy. especially on e85.

Hah, I know its capable of hitting 300...but I ain't going near that...yet...

Going to just aim for 220-230 for now...if I have the coin for a GB rebuild in the future then i'll up the boost...

I think he mean't don't

Its all good. Spoke with the techs at ALPGW and they said I can go 610cc - they'll just put in 2 banks of gas injectors to match it as each gas injectors can only do 42lb max...

good work!

um make sure you get LFR7AIK spark plugs - or equivilent in heat range. otherwise you'll have issues like mine.. - well for the petrl tune anyway.

you have an RB - we have VQ. different engine entirely.

for safety? - i dont think running your injectors at 100% duty cycle is safe what happens when its colder weather, you get a boost spike, and not enough fuel to compensate - if i were you i would be going slightly bigger just to be safe.

e85 tune will automatically need 30% more duty cycle - you would want something that would compensate this, plus around 20% leway for safety? or would you rather it sit at its limits.

care to share your thoughts?

lol... Yes, I ment not up to the job.

for reference, my car is around 175 a4wkw with 370cc injectors (stock) i am at 100% duty cycle. I know this is an ECU dictated rich mix for safety but not sure I want to lean off much at 7250rpm.

I think 60lb is a little bit of over kill but 42lb is too small. So I would rather have it slightly oversized.

its far from unsafe as my controller doesn't spike i have an APEXi AVCR

my AFR's run about 11.5 WOT @ 98% I've heard of people bumping up the fuel pressure to get 110% out of their injectors

i will be getting 80lb to go E85 on mine

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
