KA injector size ?

what cc is a good injector size for a n/a built sohc? i'm looking into buying them used, but i can't find much. i know the rb20dett injectors fit, but they're like 444cc or so, and thats definnetly too big for non-turbo. thanks.

why do you need bigger injectors? Unless you plan to max out flow on your current injectors, then you don't need new injectors.

To figure out what size injectors you need, use the following calc..

Injector Size = Expected BHP (brake horsepower (at flywheel)) x BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption)/Number of injectors x duty cycle

A good BSFC for a performance NA street engine is .45-.50 to be on the safe side, lets use .50.

Lets use 90% duty cycle..

So if you expect 220 bhp.. 220 x .50 /4x.9 = 30.5 lb/hr injectors.. round up. so 31 lb/hr

to find cc/min multiply 31 x 10.5 = 325.5 cc.. in general, if you have two injectors sizes to choose from one being 310, and one being 360cc.. always round up to the next closest size.

so.. plug in your own #'s and figure it out.

turbo's generally run a bit richer than NA engines.. .55 is a good all around number for the BSFC for turbo cars.

well, i'm thinking i will be hitting around 200hp if i'm lucky. would 310cc be too rich for that? i'm probably going to buy the safc so i could play around with that right???

You'll definitely deen an AFC or some sort of fuel controlling system if you plan to upgrade your injectors. Dropping bigger injectors without compensating for it will cause you to run very very rich.

You could just increase your MAFS size if you drop something like 370cc.

At 200 HP your stock 270cc injectors will work fine. An AFC would be nice to help you tune the car to get the most from your upgrades though.

what you could do is pull your injectors and test them for flow. If they are flowing the proper amount of fuel, then they don't need to be cleaned or anything.

All you need is a graduated cylinder, a battery (9v works well), a watch, and your fuel rail/fpr/and injectors removed from the car, but still attached to the fuel source.

Attach the battery to the contacts on a single injector, and let it flow for 1 min into the Graduated Cylinder. The amount left is the cc/min flow.

send them off to RC, they will clean and flow test them, and if you need more flow I believe they can rebuild them to flow more.
service is like 25 per injector to clean and test.
