Default Help pick an injector for my twin turbo setup

Twin turbo LQ9.

58 psi.

Should be able to support 900 rwhp.

Tuner likes 80# Siemens Deka but in his experience, they are good for 750 rwhp reliably.

Basically looking for something a bit bigger that has good data available to tune off of. Needs a good idle as this will be a street car.

I've been pushing the Deka 80s a lot higher than 750 whp.

The secret? Run more than 58 PSI of fuel pressure. I had 85-90% duty cycle at 20 PSI with 58 PSI. Turned it up to 68 PSI, now I run low 70s duty cycle.

And 'reliably' doesn't really come into question with power and injectors. Whether they are running 15% duty cycle or 85%, they aren't any less reliable.

How was your idle quality?

It idles fine. I even run both fuel 340 lph pumps 100% of the time. Idles at 15:1 AFR.

58psi static or boost referenced ?

If you want bigger quite a few places sell 1000cc, 1300cc etc etc. As long as the tuner isnt stupid, idle will be fine.

Static.

I don't want to spend $1000+ for injectors if I don't have to. Also need ones with good data tables available.

If you're going to run static, run as much pressure as you can without killing the flow of the pumps. Before, I was running a 42 PSI base and 26 PSI of boost, so 68 PSI of pressure at max boost. After blowing off the reference line a couple of times and realizing that it idles fine at 68 PSI of pressure, I couldn't find any reason not to just run it at static that way.

Deka 80s top out around ~750whp at 58 PSI static depending on fuel pump.

You could try bumping base up to 70-75psi or so, but really long term, buying the right injectors makes more sense

Being cheap only goes so far.

That's exactly what the tuner told me. He said I would run out of injector at 750 rwhp.

Yes you're right.

So back to the original question.

What injector would meet my needs?

And as I've said, places like ASNU and ID etc make 1000cc or larger injectors that would meet your needs.

I don't see the point in paying 3 times as much for an injector that flows 25% more. Turn your fuel pressure up.

Who has the best prices on the ANSU or ID injectors.

Feel free to PM me if they aren't a sponsor. :p

So if I'm running a dual Walbro 450 lph setup with FAST rails, would I still have a fuel issue that would limit me to 750 rwhp?

-8 an supply. -6 an return.

The best prices on the ANSU/ID1000 injectors is still in the $850 range.

If injectors cannot flow at your desired pressure, then all the fuel pumps/lines in the world are not going to change that

And given it sounds like you have a proper return system and FPR in use...it's also pointless not boost referencing the regulator to maintain injector flow relative with boost.
