    injector flow rate scaling?

    im running a return style external regulator with no vac hooked up .. should I run the flow rate straight across or should it get larger as it goes up scale: rate vs kpa.. and how do you know how much to increase.. running them at 46 straight across now and I don't think im correct... thanks in advance

    If there is no vacuum hooked to the regulator and it's just static at 46# of pressure the IFR should be sloped. Take whatever the injectors are rated at (making sure to know whether they are rated at 3 or 4 bar of pressure) and plug it into the formula here to find their new flow: https://www.rceng.com/technical.aspx That is their flow at atmospheric. Then use the injector spreadshee to find your new IFR values.

    You should do the same for your injector offset table...it should not change relative to manifold pressure, it should only change relative to voltage now.

    Mike he said he wasn't vacuum referened so I don't think thats correct. But I had never thought of that when I converted to a vacuum/boost referenced return style system. Hmmmm.
