I am sorry if I didnt get back with aswers before, but I am so busy and only until now I see whats going on.
I do agree with some numbers given by Kooldino and B_Real 45. I know all about those formulas for finding injector requirements, fuel pump needs and everything related to fuel in turbocharged engines.
Like many of you have said I agree that fuel needs is directly proportional to HP. Not engine size or engine design. That is why some engines make more power than others. A smaller displacement engine can make more power than a larger one. It all depends on how much power an engine can make. Then you need to get the proper air/fuel mixture.
For every 100 HP you will need 50 lbs/hr.
I dont know why Kooldino is questioning our numbers. We have a proven setup. Our car is running with stock injectors, stock pump and stock fuel pressure. There is no lie about this. It has never been lean so far. It it had been lean, I would have changed the injectors or raised the fuel pressure. I certainly know what a lean mixture can do to an engine.
If we had been lean, the dyno results would not be that good and neither would the power shown at the track. A lean or rich mixture will not make good hp.
By my own experience, I can say that a P5 can make close to 240 hp on stock injectors and stock pressure. That may be the limit, but it is possible.
I dont want to get into arguments about formulas and numbers.
Theory is nice. Practice is even better.
Like I said on the other thread, I am away from California and have no way to check the pressure we are running right now. I know it is the stock but I never checked it.
In regards to duty cycle, I will let you know exactly what it is at 8 , 10 and 12 psi when I get back and plug the laptop while at the dyno.
Juan
jaun , ithink that kooldino was commenting on the fact that at 70% duty cycle the numbers your stating dont make sense.
i dont think he has a problem with the kit
as a matter of fact i think he is very impressed as i have stated also that someone finally came out with a stand alone for the fuel enrichment.
as spoolin has stated it is far superioir than any mechanical " fix" or enrichment for N/A cars going to forced induction.
as far as you claims for 240 hp , that is not far fetched. it really is not alot of power. but definatly doable.
you are also right on another note that it is the most you will get out of the injectors without upgrading.
i have said it many times and will say it again. sometimes things disprove theory thru practice . but theory is our base and we have to learn that first in order to advance and master practice.
there are many variables to look at when trying to make max power, so your claim is valid
my only problem with companys out there (again as i stated umpteen million times) is the fact they look to fuel first and ignition second. in forced induction it should be the opposite or at least at the same level
you mentioned early on in your first posts for the kit that you were pinging at a lttle above 8 psi. after some octane boost or race gas you were able to contain the problem.
this is where i think the problems of ignition timing need to be addressed . the guys running everday on the street dont have to use race gas and octane booster to run higher boost levels if the ignition retard was in place. you would be able to run regular pump gas and use ignition control to get peak cylinder pressures at around 5-7 degrees after top dead center thruout the rpm band. yes running higher octane fuel can help because it will sustain cylinder pressures longer even when ignition has started but like i said for the street it is not practical. i also understand that you all are going and tuning standalones for ignition control. i think you are doing a great job with it along with other vendors like spoolin and some others.
its my personal opinion that turbo kits should address all needs to ENGINE management. not just enough to get by and sell kits.
this is not directed to you or anyone in particular. s*** even BMW kit makers do the same thing.
well i hope everyone can keep this as civil as possible because alot of people have alot of learning to do and dont need any of us bickering over s*** . i still learn everyday from people who know more and less than me.
so keep up the good work guys and keep this forum as "da s*** "
