Hence cause it to run rich as theres no adaptation after the charger really! So hard piping is on its way. Injectors have identical flow rate.. its the spray patter thats different.. which i went for due to injector angle and spacing!
Mabz,
The problem won't be collapsing hoses - despite looking almost shut, they won't be - a huge amount of air can get through a small gap. Also, if there was a blockage or the flow was strangled, this would be reflected by the pressure in the rest of the intake system - and the MAP sensor would see this and compensate for this. Also the lambda will compensate for this if the MAP doesn't.
Your injectors won't have the same flow rate. Even though they are rated the same.
The rating is on static flow - i.e. - when the injector is held open. This is useless, and goes out the window, as we are pulsing the injectors.
The reason your injectors won't flow the same as the Bosch 020 150 558's is:
- The charge time for the coil inside the injector will be different - i.e. how long it takes for the solenoid to respond electrical charge before opening
- The dead time will be different. This is the time it takes from the injector being de-energised to actually shutting.
- As the solenoid opens, the flow will depend on the mechanical design of the valve. This varies from injector to injector. It's like a progressive opening thottle body Vs. a normal one.
So, the bottom line is they won't flow the same!
Also, different injectors perform differently depending of the frequency at which they are pulsed [which depends on engine RPM].
Some injectors are very efficient - so if they are 440cc static flow rate [which is essentially 100% duty cycle], at 80% duty they will flow around 350cc/min. On the other hand, a less efficient, or lazy injector with flow less with the same pulse width, maybe only 300cc/min. This is because it's spending more time energising / de-energising than actually injecting fuel.
If you actually listen to me, fit the right injectors, I'm 99% sure your fuel economy and performance will improve.
Rich.
