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

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
