I just happened to stumble upon the following web page for injector sizing
http://www.overboost.com/story.asp?id=1358
All of the boosted tib's have a pretty good idea as to when they need upgraded injectors but i've never seen the math done for the N/A guys
So i figgured i'd work everything backwards and see when it'd be time to swap up to my bigger injectors that i've got sitting around waiting and share my results so everyone knows when its time to switch em up.
Here's what i came up with using their formula's:
Stock injector's:
stock duty cycle: roughly 83% (a little high if you ask me but seems ok)
stock injector's will support roughly 160 crank HP @ 90% duty cycle. ( the web site reccomends not going over 90% duty cycle for longjevity and reliablility) Thats roughly 136 WHP assuming roughly 85% of the power gets to the ground. (stock trim gets about 80% to the pavement and i figgured a good grippy clutch and wheels would up that to about 85%)
That means its time for evan and a few others to swap em up. anyone running I/H/E and a few other goodies is right on the edge of needing larger injectors.
larger 290cc injectors:
Max Hp supported at 90% duty cycle: roughly 220 hp at the crank.
that's roughly 185 WHP assuming 85% gets to the wheels
Most of the N/A V6 tibs are looking to upgrade to the 290cc injectors right around 200WHP which works out with the math i laid down above.
if anyone would like to check my math just to be double sure on this one it'd be muchly appreciated. Other than that the guidelines is about 135 whp its time for bigger injectors.
