For a target power of 400-440 bhp at the flywheel, with (probably) a GT(X?)2871R turbo, and 3.8bar FPR and Walbro pump already fitted, what injector size should I choose?
I was thinking that the Bosch green 440cc injectors would be OK, but the
20vt Tuning Workshop on here says the following:
The standard 330cc 20VT injectors @ 3Bar/3.8Bar can fuel upto 330BHP.
The standard 384cc 16VT injectors @ 3.8Bar can fuel upto 360BHP
The Bosch 440 injectors @ 3.8Bar can fuel upto 410BHP
The Siemens 630cc @ 3.8Bar can fuel upto 580BHP
So with the 440's I might only just get to 400bhp, and Siemens appear to be a safer bet to comfortably exceed 400, but are perhaps overkill?
According to this
injector calculator with a 5 cylinder turbo, 55psi fuel pressure, 550cc injectors at 90% duty would give 440bhp.
The same calculator says that 440cc would give 393bhp when maxxed out at 100% duty.
Above 440cc is it only worth considering Siemens 630? What about Bosch or Genesis 550?
And before anyone says "plenty of info on the web" well yes, there's too much, and it's too confusing, I want to benefit from the forum knowledge!
