jschaefer7406 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hello, There is a great calculator located here: http://www.witchhunter.com/injectorcalc1.php4 This site is full of resources reguarding injectors. Covers everything from injector size calculations to stock injector flow rates (listed by Bosch P/N). Using the calculator on the linked page, you should be able to plug in different HP numbers and find the injector flow to match (stock 850T injectors are roughly 310cc's @ 43.5 psi). Kind of a backwards calculation, but it works. It kind of goes against everyones "one HP for each cc" theory, as there's no way a 310cc injector will be sufficient for 310HP on a turbo engine. If that were the case, no one would bother upgrading to whites or blues . Good luck, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbor850 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 or . . your injectors could be sized for each turbo (used as a minimum could always go bigger) - 15G - Orange 16T - Orange 18T - Whites 19T - Whites K24 - Blues/Green 16G - Blues/Green 20G - Green/550 cc RC Eng. GT30R/3071R - 550 cc RC Eng. GT42R - Red (J/K!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, Absolutely, I agree with you. I have a set of blues that I intend to run with my 15G and (soon) 12 psi tune on my 2000 S70. The stock oranges likely would have been fine for such a mild application, but I like the security of a little more fuel potential if needed. I figure, Volvo used the whites and blues on the HPT cars for a reason. If the oranges were enough for the HPT cars as well, they could have saved lots of money and went with a single injector rating. I still am not 100% sold on the "one for one" theory though, as every injector calculator I have used (and I've used several) has indicated that I need a 395cc injector, not the 315cc units that I currently have. That is with the aim of only 230-235 flywheel hp, nothing extreme. They could all be wrong I suppose, but they are taken from very reputable sources and all give the same result.

If that were the case, no one would bother upgrading to whites or blues . Good luck, Joe Has anyone actually tried these online calculators with a stock car? Let's plug the numbers in for a stock 850 R manual, which makes 250 hp with white 350 cc injectors: Power (flywheel) = 250 hp Number of Injectors = 5 B.S.F.C. = 0.60 - 0.65 (as specified in the notes for a turbo engine) Max Duty Cycle = 80% Hit calculate and it says you need injectors which flow between 394 cc and 427 cc/min. So, according to this calculation, the 350 cc injectors supplied by Volvo would not be anywhere near big enough to make 250 hp, yet we all know that it can make 250 hp all day long!!! Would anybody like to provide some clues as to why this formula fails for a stock 850R? And if it fails for a stock car, why should anybody consider using it as a guide for modded cars?I should point out that the above was of course done with two seperate calculations. One with BSFC = 0.60 and another calculation with BSFC = 0.65 which gave 394 cc/min and 427 cc/min respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotuner Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 ================================================================================= OK, now lets throw another spanner in the works... We all know that all the well know tuners can make 275 hp on a stock 850 T5 with just a remap. We also know that a stock 850 T5 has orange 315 cc injectors. So, lets plug some numbers in to see what is required to get 315 cc if you want 275 hp: Max Power = 275 hp Injectors = 5 B.S.F.C. = 0.6 Max Duty cycle = 110% Hit calculate and you get: Injectors required = 315 cc Wow!!! So, according to this injector calculator, RICA, MTE etc would need to run the injectors at 110% duty cycle to get 275 hp from just a remap. Now, unless I'm mistaken, 110% IDC is impossible!!! So, let's for the sake of argument bring the duty cycle back down to 80%, since responsible tuners MTE or RICA would never dream of overdriving injectors right? OK, so the new numbers are: Max Power = 275 hp Injectors = 5 B.S.F.C. = 0.436 Max Duty cycle = 80% Injectors reqired = 315 cc Tada!!! 275 hp can be reached at 80% duty cycle using 315 cc injectors, if the BSFC = 0.436 With me so far? It looks like the BSFC recommended values are wrong since this online calculator states that BSFC should be 0.60-0.65 for turbo engines. Let's therefore assume 0.436 as the new correct BSFC and see if it's possible to get 300 hp on 315 cc injectors... Max Power = 300 hp Injectors = 5 B.S.F.C. = 0.436 Max Duty cycle = 87% Injectors required = 316 cc, assuming BSFC = 0.436 Voila! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iloveboost Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 K thanks a lot guys. The reason i asked is because i have a 17 psi tune for my 15g and was wondering if it would be worthwhile to get whites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every calculator that I have found recommends a minimum of .60 for BSFC on a turbocharged engine, with .65 being ideal. It's not an error on the afore-mentioned site, just the facts. I am not arguing that oranges aren't good for anything more than stock, but I do think the answer lies somewhere in the middle. I agree that the calculator shows that stock oranges are not even sufficient for the engine they came with . With a 17 psi tune though, I'd feel very insecure about running orange's if it were me...

Joe It was a serious post, done in a fun way! The main point was that if this online injector calculator is showing that stock orange/white injectors are insufficient for a stock car (when we clearly know that they are sufficient), what use is the online calculator? The online calculator must work for stock and modified cars, otherwise it's useless and just misleads people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
