In the turbo LS world, how much RWHP have you guys made on 80lb injectors on E85? 58lb base fuel pressure.

you were on a VERY happy Dyno...

80lb injectors on e85 are good for around 750 to the Flywheel....maybe 575 to the tire with a stick shift



I'm curious too as i am putting an l33 with 80s.
Is that with 58 psi base? What pump?
the math is based on actual flow.....doesnt matter if its 80lb rated at 43 psi, or 80lb rated at 90 psi......
80 lb/hr flow...is only good for 750 to the flywheel (at the Most...) on e85

If you a common injector such as the Siemens Deka 80lb/hr that are rated at 43.5psi and change the base to 75psi the flow rate is raised to 105lb/hr. As an example:
(105lbs/hr X .80 DC) Ă· 0.80BSFC = 105hp/inj
105hp/inj X 8 = 840cshp

Someone may chime in with a more accurate BSFC value but I think .8 is a reasonable number and at 80% duty cycle there is some extra capacity figured in. Some people have run higher base pressure but I have personally run the Siemens Injectors at 75psi base for the last couple years with zero problems. Hope this helps.

I went 158mph at 3350 lbs on 83's and 70 base psi E85 no meth inj. That run was only 125 mph in the 1/8. Track was really bad that night and had to peddle car a lot. Had another pass that was almost 128 in the 1/8 but had to abort just past due to traction. That was a cast S475/83 on 16-17 psi. Later after switching to a cast S480 and 20 psi it was out of fuel really quick. The meth inj and 2000cc injectors were installed after. Funny thing was the 2000 cc's on 43 base ran my 4303 pumpout of fuel about the same power as the 83's maxed out at 70 base.

850+ rwhp dyno proven on a few cars, my fox at 3340lbs on mud and snow tires went 159mph on the 80lb injectors. If you turn up the fuel pressure(100 in boost) and run high duty cycle(over 100% as that is just a calculated number), they will support a lot of power. We have had ZERO issues doing this on many setups for years. 143-146% on stock ecu and holley is when they will stop adding fuel, this has been tested and proven.

I see 110-115psi fuel pressure on my Siemens Injectors that are +6yrs old with no issues under race conditions. I had the fuel system dry for a couple months during winter upgrades and when I primed the lines back up the injector rails leaked like two shower heads. The o-rings had lost their elasticity and looked tire shaped with a flat outer side instead of being doughnut shaped. This was on methanol and never had any issues keeping methanol in the system just capping the vent on the cell. Replaced o-rings and had no more issues.

That's at 35psi boost pressure.

I see this on injs I flow/clean. After a couple showers in flow fluid, I make it a practice to change them before I do the initial test. Some alky inj o'rings I remove are so hard that they crack when I take them off.
If I know they are an alky app, I can use o'rings designed for such.
