Default SVO 36# injectors?

How much HP would the SVO 36# injectors be able to handle? What # rating would the 36#'ers be at out fuel pressure?

I think the Ford rates their injectors at around 40psi, so at our 55psi, you would be looking at 49.5lbs/hr. That's if there isn't another bottleneck in there.

As for HP, it depends on what BSFC you use.

I think you did the math wrong, I get a little over 42# from SVO 36# injectors (GM 55psi vs Ford 40psi).

SVO 36#'s have been discontinued.

Why have they been discontinued? I just bought a set off someone on the board.

I'm sure my math is right, maybe something else I left out? Basically, it would be 36*(55/40).

To calcuate the new flowrate use this equation:

our flowrate = sqrt(58 psi/43.5 psi)*flow rate at 43.5 psi

Standard is 43.5 psi, our pressure is 58 psi.

Most people use a .5 BSFC and only want a max injector pulse width of 80%.

Use the following webpage to do an online injector size calculation.

Also I believe that SVO injectors use a different spray patten than the stockers which may affect the combustion process slightly. A lot of people use injectors from a super charged Gran Prix.

I'm sure they are fine. Probably weren't as popular for FMS as the 30# and 42#. Still some 36# floating around here and there. I think Bosch or some others make a 38#.

Will the FMS 36# work ok? I know I will have to get reprogramming.

FWIW the formula above is correct, but FMS injectors are rated at 2.7 bar (~39.1 psi) - FWIW.
