Newb getting started - need injector advice
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2006 6:29 pm
I recently purchased a V2.2 board and assembled it for my dragbike project. After several years of racing Kawasaki's I made the switch to the Hayabusa powerplant.
The Hayabusa is a 1300cc 16 valve motor that makes around 165 HP stock. I plan to run a turbo at low boost to start (~4 PSI) and work up from there. A recent dyno session with a friends bike proved that we can expect about 12.5 HP per PSI of boost. With just 4 Lbs of boost I should be in the 8.40's in the quarter!
Finally, here are my questions:
-What is the largest injector size that I could run and still expect to idle (I could idle and 1k to 1.5K RPM)? Bike redlines at 11K. I calculated around 550cc injectors to give me some room to grow, but I was concerned that the injector tables were based on a car and may be skewed for a motorcycle that is lighter and higher revving.
-Would I need to use a rising rate regulator? Currently many are using the stock electronics, a PowerCommander to alter the fuel map and a rising rate FMU to compensate for boost and alter the A/F ratio to the 11.7:1 ratio that is kind of accepted as a safe place under boost.
