Angry how much boost can 250ccInjectors handle?

I just pluged in the MSpnp and fixed the timing and the car isn't running so good. i'm taking my car to a dyno, i have RC 250cc injectors and my boost can't be lower then 10 psi. no electronic boost controller. i am running on that ebay 16g turbo. will these injectors be a problem?

I'd have thought that 250's would be way too small for 10 psi unless you're willing to up the fuel pressure, (I wouldn't be).

you can pick up a set of 550's for £50 (about $100) that will fullfill all your needs.

Why can't boost be lower than 10psi? just adjust the wastgate accordingly.

IMO your options are:

* Reduce the boost
* Replace your injectors

if not you'll be buying a new engine PDQ.

No.
Go to the junkyard, get resistor box from a honda or something or dsm, some thing like that, and wire it in.
I hear its actually pretty easy, but i dont know from expierence.

Jerry reckons with lots of extra earths they'll work fine. If you don't want the hassle just fit a resistor pack inbetween them and the ECU

get a wideband and find out. fwiw, I couldn't run my 305s past 7psi (160-170rwhp)

also fwiw, the stock non-turbo 1.8L injectors are 265cc.

yeah, i'm running 305's right now and am close to the edge of where i'm comfortable pushing them at 6psi. i would get some bigger injectors before you even try to run anywhere near 10.

The whole page is good info on this, but you can use the calculator at the bottom of the page.

I guess that site must be fairly conservative, it is saying I can only get about 165 crank horsepower from 330cc injectors.

i get 181BHP, you aren't plugging in good numbers. and yes that's still conservative.

I can't being conservative.

target HP - 160

No of Injectors - 4

BSFC - .65

DC - 80

Fuel Pressure - 43.5

that give the requirement of 344's. That's the ultra conservative better safe than sorry.

Personally I don't see the point of pushing harder than that, if you can get bigger injectors do so, they're cheaper than an engine.

when's the last time you were driving around at 43.5 psi of fuel?! you idle at 35psi and make 50psi at no vacuum.

USE .55 BSFC and 50psi of fuel.



but reality always overrides these math equations. who would ever just plug in some numbers, buy those injectors and just assume the fuel is good, no one smart.

fair enough, I didn't know the stock FP of the car, so just assumed that 43.5 was an industry standard or sumat.

my bad!

.55BSFC is for N/A tho, 60 - 65 for T/C according to the calculator??

You can get new pintle caps from places like witchhunter cleaninjectors and possible the mazda dealer or some other denso injector supplier/servicer.
