Just thought be nice to get a list going of how much ppl are pushing and what mods (ie injectors size, tub, IC, etc etc). nice if have dyno print also.

I know you are supposed to keep the injector sizes as small as possible, but how have you managed to get high figures on those?

I went on the fc fuel calculator and for 350 - 400hp it said i\'d need 720 primaries 1000 secondaries at 85% duty.

Lee mills is running 1000 secondaries and stock primaries on his FD and he is getting over 500

I also used the calculator - and there are some assumptions made by it that relate to the way the stock ECU drives the injectors.
 
A stock ECU will push the injector duty up to 80% on the primaries before these fall back to 40% and the secondaries come in.  Fuelling is then driven on the secondaries until they hit 80-85%.  The primaries will only go above 40% if the ECU thinks the engine is cold (hence the resistor power mod that you see sold on ebay)
 
A chipped ECU will drive the primaries to 80% as before, but when the secondaries come in, the primaries drop back only a little - say to 60% and then rise again with the secondaries - this gives better use of the stock fuelling system.
 
The other thing to remember is that I am running just a little more fuel pressure - this effectively makes the primaries run as 610CC injectors and the secondaries are close to 900CC  it may not seem like much - but it\'s quite a lot more fuel.
 
I still have 20-30% headroom on my secondary injectors at 15 psi - so there is still plenty of fuel left.
 
It\'s only the primary injector\'s you need to keep smaller, as it\'s very hard to get a good stable idle with larger injectors because of the very small pulse widths involved.  By the time the secondaries are needed, the amounts of fuel will mean large enough pulse widths to be controllable.
 
I know on John\'s FC (Black and White with over 500 BHP) he used 1000 or 1200 primaries and they didn\'t fire every cycle.

Yes i was and ran 507@ the fly.
 
Not any more though now 1000 primaries and 1680 secondaries:D

Wow.. and just when i started to think i was getting the hang of injectors and ECUs!

That\'s really useful info there Prof

And now im completely baffled about what injector sizes i need :2Confused But probably not as large as i was originally going for!
Title: FC Bhp??
Post by: m1tch on June 26, 2009, 12:27:34 PM
Im going for stock 550 primaries and 1680 secondaries, im choosing to go with the smaller primaries so that it still stock fueling when you are driving around normally, but then have all the fueling I will ever need EVER when I turn the boost up :) If I max out both primary and secondary injectors to 85% it would be injecting 4.5 litres per minute and I will be out of fuel in 18 minutes lol :D

Post by: mukumu kurubushi on June 26, 2009, 03:29:19 PM
haha, thats crazy mitch.

i may keep the stock 550 primaries then and go for 1000 secondaries.. with a powerfc controlling them, that should be enough for 350-400 with a bit of headroom if i want more later?

Do you already have the Power FC as I have one going for sale soon. Its the one for the FC3s not the FD (which are pretty rare) so you can run stock turbo and still get huge BHP!!:D

Im running pretty much the same setup as m1tch lol crazy stuff!!
Should be good for 350-400 bhp but one run in will post dyno.

Thanks for the offer but I have an ap engineering pfc. Though i think im missing the 3bar map and IAT sensors for it. and the possibly resistors soldered in to the harness for low impedance injectors (if it needs them :confused:)

I don\'t really rate the PFC for FCs as they are ment to FDs, and are simply downgraded for an old car ie the FC, tis why im getting an e-manage, but my chipped ECU is good for 0.9 bar :)
Title: FC Bhp??
Post by: Prof on June 26, 2009, 07:33:09 PM
The PFC isn\'t a bad standalone for the FC - but it is far from plug and play, particularly if you use the FD one.  Ultimately though, something like Megasquirt is going to give you the most control as it has so many input/output options - and what\'s more there is a good community of people who\'ve done it.
 
Going the Emanage route was tough for me as there was only a handful of individuals who\'d done it - and typically they weren\'t saying much ;)  I am more than happy to share my findings and maps as examples to build from.

i dont know how u managed.. 2 yrs without... but i guess u have got fd also :Laugh
im slowly catching upto ur 2yrs :Laugh

so when u gonna grace us with ur mods..?

Well its a half bridge with RE lower inlet and upper inlet manifold, with the block port matched, standard primary\'s with 1000cc secondarys, bosche fuel pump and swirl tank, using a microtech ecu custom intercooler and rad (similar to sadgoths) has a custom manifold with T78 33D turbo, greddy wastegate plumbed in to the downpipe, with silenced mid pipe and hks rear section. custom water tank system.

Im hoping its going to be ready for Rotorpop ;)

Just realised, no one has talked about drivetrain yet.

What power is the stock clutch good for?

Good question !
 
I know that once I went towards about 250 bhp, the stock clutch didn\'t last too long.
 
The Greddy Organic clutch is a good replacement, and with an uprated pressure plate that\'s what I\'m running now.
 
I did try a Carbo-Metallic clutch from F1 Racing - ebay jobby - very cheap, and it did slip on me at just over 4000 rpm in top gear once hitting boost - but then when I took the gearbox off to check the clutch, it was only riding on only 5-6mm of material on the outside edge due to a lip on my flywheel.  This clutch was rated as 400BHP/400 ftlb andI reckon that with a good flywheel it would do that easily.
 
I think clutch life will depend greatly on how you use/abuse it - hard launches or power pulls are going to shorten the life.

Lat Dyno run was 530fwhp @ 0.9bar. There is a fair bit more after turbo and porting cahnge.

is tim (rx motors) doing ur wrk? surprised u managed to get the re lim on as my tuner adv me the port diff was too great to fit the re lim.
im assuming its the fc block not fd?
