<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>An injector can flow 100cc/min at low fuel pressure but can then flow 300cc/min when the fuel pressure <hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>???????? The guys running 12:1 regulators would love to think so. An injector that flows 100cc/min at it's standard pressure will not get anywhere near 300cc/min at even the highest pressure. There is a point where the injectors just don't put out any more flow.... and that happens sooner than most people think. <br><br>I do agree on the pressure comment and the reason I am confident that my tests are 'real-world' tests is because of the fuel pressure. Most injector tests are done at a standardized pressure. For the simple fact that when comparing injectors, you know the pressure is standard and can judge flow rates accordingly accross a range of different injecors. The shop I worked out of was generally 3 bar standard (44psi-ish). <b> However </b>, seeing as I was in charge of my own tests, they were done at 2.5bar which is just about our base pressure. The benefit of working at the only shop in Canada with a machine like this. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Up at 3 bar they did get closer to the other numbers posted, alhtough being that they were not cleaned, they were still a bit shy of that. <br><br>Also, injector tests are generally done 'wide open'. Pulse duration/pulse width is important on many levels of injector performance, but some go static at 2.0ms, some go static at 1.0ms. Standardizing amongst flow rates amongst all that would get reallllly ugly. If you test at 100% and you want to know what it flows at 80% of that... well some simple math should be able to figure that out. At least, I'm sure that if you went around to forums asking for what it flowed at 3.5ms, 4ms, 2ms, 1ms, 20ms, 10ms, 12ms. You would get some silly looks wondering why you were asking.<br><br>Basically, I'm confident using my numbers to represent my car driving around on the street. <br><br>-------<br>The injectors were also tested for the following, which they passed with flying colors. They are a good injector, even at high rpms.<br>----------<br><br>Pattern @ 0 to 20 Millisecond DPW, 50 to 10,000 RPM <br>Droplet size @ 0 to 20 Millisecond DPW, 50 to 10,000 RPM <br>Atomization @ 0 to 20 Millisecond DPW, and 50 to 10,000 RPM <br>Injector volume @ 1 to 100% <br>Duty Cycle Static Point<br>Dribbling leaking @ 1 to 6.5 Bar Pressure <br>Targeting <br>Penetration <br>Idle Stability 2500 to 50 RPM <br>Static Points 0 to 20 Millisecond DPW,50 to 10,000 RPM <br>Injector Driver circuit loading and efficiency tests <br>----<br><br>When I find my stupid sheet with how our injectors flowed at different pressures, I'll post up some numbers for other pressures than stock pressure. It makes a difference for a while, but as soon as they reach 'that' point. No amount of pressure increases the flow.<br><br>I have both 380ccs/min and 440ccs/min in my garage to choose from for injectors to run this year for my higher boost runs with the motor mods. My concern will be from 2.5barpressure up to 3.5bar pressure. The reason for this is obvious again... my FPR is referenced to the intake and will increase 1 psi of pressure per 1 psi of boost. So, seeing how much they flow a little over 50psi will be of interest to me. Flow will not greatly increase from the injectors beyond that anyway.<br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub83.ezboard.com/bteamswift.showUserPublicProfile?gid=whattheeee>Whattheeee</A> at: 4/4/03 12:20:29 am<br></i>
