Default injector flow rate vs kpa

What is the correct way to scale injectors using hp tuners. Im running 80 lb injectors with a magnafuel boost reference FPR and put 80 across the flow rate vs kpa table, Is this correct?

that sounds correct.

what is your BASE fuel pressure with the FPR removed set at? reason I ask is if the injector is rated 80# @ 43.5psi; and your BASE fuel pressure at your FPR with the manifold reference removed is 58psi; your IFR is incorrect.

BASE FPR pressure w/ NO manifold hookup = xx psi

Injector 80# rated fuel psi xxx psi

if both are equal, then yes, 80# is what you put across the IFR table.

if one is 58psi and one is 43.5psi; then you will multiply 80# by 1.1547 and put that number in the IFR table across the entire table.

*square root of 58/43.5 = 1.1547; flow difference from 43.5psi to 58psi.


Another note is if you are running 18psi BOOST, then you will want to check your fuel pumps maximum pressure; as most are rated up to 70psi I think. So you will want to scale back your FPR pressure and scale your IFR accordingly...all depends on boost you are running and your fuel pump max psi.

Injectors are rated a 43.5 and thats what pressure im running so 80s across the IFR table should work. Thank you for the help

Is there a benefit to using one of the injector flow rate calculators and scaling the IFR or is this just for a fixed fuel pressure?

The scaling of the injector flow rate table is only if you have a fixed pressure system. It is what emulates what a boost reference is doing in a way..

80 across is fine.
