Hutz.... is it running yet . We are waiting....

Yes, but when I ran with Chevy TBI, injector normal pressure was 13 psi/0,9 bar(Which I raised to about 1,4 bar).



I tried 55 psi with my current injectors(rated to about 45 psi) without leaks, cause high duty cycle, but I think that was not good thing to do.



So I someday bore out my injector bungs and try with those Mustang injectors which you got.

Simo, you remember when at dyno, we tried about 45-50 psi and then the injectors started flooding. 40 psi equals 2.7 bar of pressure. 20 psi is very low 1.4 bar.

What is max pressure rating for injectors if you can double the current?


Hyvinkää, FI

You will end up to buy at least 30 % larger fuel injectors . Current injectors may be open all the time with lots of pressure. You will get it running, but will not get it tuned to high rpms. Trust me, we have faced the same problem. Our eight 30 llbs/hr injectors run out of capacity after 330 HP and 630 Nm at 5300 rpm with pump gas. With E85 you will need about 90 lbs/hr or even much more... . Good Luck and take some videos to show us.



Ah, sorry... you have 900 cfm Holley Tbi. Really don't know how much fuel it will deliver.

We have the down pipe and filter built I will have more pics tomorrow.  It turned out great.  We had to reengineer the exhuast down pipe today to clear the front diff.  Tomorrow is the day we will fire it up.  There is going to be some significant tuning to do because we switched over to E85 and we now added the turbo.  We will bump the fuel pressure up to 40psi from 20psi.  Also added a external fuel pressure regulator to work with the change in manifold pressure.  Will definately let you guys know how it goes tomorrow. 

Grhmmm... that is the turbine wheel in that last picture. Compressor wheel AKA impeller wheel is on the other side . Well, one could think down pipe as a screen over the open hole.

CONGRATULATIONS on your engineering, fabrication efforts, and accomplishment! Looks good!



Will you use any type of a screen over the impeller in that last picture?



Best Wishes!
