My 20 cents worth, 800 cc = 800 bhp after allowing for 85% duty cycle.

Every new aftermarket injector I have tested flows more than their rating. I have seen 850 cc injectors flow 875 cc's, 550 cc injectors flow 568 cc's etc.

I have found it to be quite safe to add ~10% to the flow with fuel pressure increases.

I would be surpised if you couldn't get 900 bhp out of 800 cc rated injectors.

That said, if you have to buy them, 1,000 cc injectors can sometimes cost less than 800 cc injectors.

Hope that helps:cheers:

More clarification, OK..........BHP per cc is not exact, the more appropriate calculation is by using the mass of the fuel rather than its volume. So the specific gravity of the fuel used is an important requirement. Most cars running 800 bhp won't be using "normal" fuel. Elf Turbo Max for example, has a higher oxygen content matched to a higher calourific value. So using it, 800 bhp out of 800 cc injecors would be a snap. Similar would apply to other fuels typically used in that application.:D

    • 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.
