Hey guys.

I'm looking at new injectors soon and I had a hunt for a bit of a power/injector sizes thread but couldn't find one.

I'm not exactly sure how to do the workings out so I thought I might ask somebody to put together a little table.

Criteria:

powers of say 200, 220, 240, 260, 280, 300, and so on up to say 500 rwkW

Injector sizes to suit.

I guess you could have the graph in both stock fuel pressure and a resonably raised fuel raril pressure.

Injector duty should not exceed 90% for safety.

So, who can do the math?

Have a look at the link, tell me where I'm going wrong, because it did sound a little strange.

What is the Standard Fuel rail pressure of a Skyline, and what is a resonable pressure for raising too to keep safe on all types of injectors?

Steve.

Using that calculator, I use the following figures

Desired Horsepower = 422

Number of Injectors = 6

Brake Specific = 0.65

Max Injector Duty = 0.90

System Fuel Pressure = 40 psi

I get 557 cc per minute for like 200 rwkW (460 hp at fly)......

Is this right, doesn't sound it.

Please explain where I'm going wrong.

try using 0.60 BSFC, also fuel pressure you are showing is a bit low.

Base pressure at atmo for nissan OEM regulators is 3.05kg, if you are running 1 bar boost to achieve 422hp, the pressure will then be 4.05kg, or (multiply 14.5 x 4.05) 58.7psi = 427cc injectors required.

If you were using 1.4 bar boost, 63.8psi - 409cc injectors required.

There is also a calculation on that site to work out extra fuel flow for given injectors when you change the rail pressure.

btw, for a 6 cyl turbo engine, the 'approx' rule of thumb is what ever the bhp you are after, get the same size in injectors

Oh, and be aware that different injectors are rated at different pressures, SARD and HKS rate their injectors at 3kg (at idle) vs stock 2.55kg at idle.

Also, Sard and more so HKS seem to under rate their injectors that I have seen.

I was putting down 320+rwkw with sard 550cc injectors with OEM fpr, and never saw 80% duty cycle - this was running around 1.4 bar boost. Sard rate their 550cc injectors at 510cc with oem fuel pressure.

I was under the impression tha Nismo, HKS and others (not Sard or PE) were made by Denso in Japan...Am I wrong?

My sards are made by denso, I was under the impression that they made most, if not all injectors in Japan.

Just like NGK make all their iridium plugs - greddy, hks, nismo etc

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
