rover v8 36lb injectors
I'm after some advice,I'm building a 4.6 twin turbo with the 3.9 inlet manifold and megasquirt
I'm needing a set of 36lb 3bar injectors.my question is,is there a car I can get these out that run them standard???

Bosch 'green giant' 42Lb/Hr injectors seem to be the default infector for boosted Rover V8's
Bosch Part number 0280155968.
Can get then all over the place, just google to find the best price. I think they were originally our of a Volvo.
Plug straight into the Rover V8 (hotwire - not flapper different fuel rail) and have a much better multi hole design than work better over different fuel pressures than the older pintle type.

If your using a Hotwire inlet manifold the world is your oyster with inj choice, for example you can use Ford & GM V8 USA inj etc for those bigger flow rates I am using 2.0 Vauxhall Vectra inj at 3.0BAR on a RV8 to give you an example (better spray pattern higher cc) this crowd get good feedback https://www.fiveomotorsport.com/fuel-injectors/

this is interesting as my engine tuner has advised me to ditch my 440cc bosch injectors and go for some slightly smaller ones as they were over kill for my supercharged v8
now using these.

I would not listen to him. Even more so given such a small change, just daft.Coops wrote:this is interesting as my engine tuner has advised me to ditch my 440cc bosch injectors and go for some slightly smaller ones as they were over kill for my supercharged v8

Even for 500hp at typical pressures running at 80% duty, the calcs will recommend near 500cc

Obviously there is room for play with those figures, but it just seems bonkers to go smaller than what you had.
Do you have any datalogs from before it all came apart ? What sort of injector duty cycles were you seeing ?

And 42's in no shape or form would be considered large, let alone too large.DaveEFI wrote:Obvious problem with too large injectors is getting a decent idle.
Depending on his power goals they may not even be large enough.
my old 4.6 TT didnt make huge power, but I still needed to move up to 57lbs as the 42's were too small.
And whilst my LS is obviously different I run around 130lb per cylinder and have no problems at all with idle.

What manifold do you intend to use?
I have found that a crossover type manifold gives better distribution with a 4 barrel tbi. ( I had 2 AFR gauges on the engine to check it)
Single plane manifolds like the Offenhausser 360 gave poor distribution on my engine. It seems to be that you are squirting fuel in rather than sucking in what the engine actually needs as in a carb set up. It could be something to do with the cylinder 5 & 7 firing sequence.
You may find that the 80lb injectors in the Terminator are a little large for an ideal tickover mixture, unless you have a chunky cam in there of course.

Thanks for the advise,I'm looking at the offenhauser 360 dual port its probably best for the low bonnet of the Capri..if you know of any other I'm open to suggestions?..theres only offenhauser or edelbrock these days thats readally available I'm finding
