Fuel injectors/Pressure ? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

LGAFF · 09-07-2008

Last year I installed 2 new fuel pumps and new injectors, one set from SAP and the other Accels. I pressurized the fuel system and it jumps to 57lbs of pressure then drops to 41 and within 5 minutes pressure is down to 30 or less. I know Dominic had this issue earleir, wondering if the SAPs are crap and are leaking.

Times at the track are down fromlast year, MPH was down 2-3mph from last year. I was running 113-114.5 vs 115-117 last year.

Sucks, so which injector brand failed?

Change the damn injector,LOL
Did you go to Byron?

What as your 1/8 MPH
Was your 60ft the same as last time.

Did you make any changes to the car,chip tune, plugs,etc.

SAPs.... only 1 year old.......bought these off the bay. As I was nice enough to test these for the forum members please send your check or money order to Lee Gaffigan

Guess I know what I am buying next week.

Byron sucked.......

Started running 12.8s at 113, even realed off a 12.64. Speed was slow but that might be the injector. I think they worked out the timing issue both sides consistently sucked for me and 1/8ths seem consistent in MPH and times.

I was going to try one more run then a motorcyle engine blew just past the 1/8th....guy launched parts over the friggin fences on both sides. That was worth $25 right there. I got 8 runs in, could have done 12-15 but spent time trying to figure out what was wrong.

I might as well change the coils also. I wonder if SAP makes those

I was running 8.3-8.4@ 89MPH on both sides fairly consistently. I was not getting the second half pull I am used to out of the car. I had the same issue when I went in early May. This also means my 391hp Dyno run was with a crap injector.

Line pressure down to 30 psi in 5 minutes? The spec. in the Shop manual is only to hold pressure for 10 seconds once the fuel pumps are shut off. Per the manual, the system should show 48-55 psi while the pumps are running with the engine off. When the engine is started pressure should drop 3-10 psi.

I don't think 5 minutes is relavent here. Sounds to me like your system is just fine.

Didn't you change your tune from last year? Change it back and see how it preforms.

Hans,

My manual says system should drop some once pumps stop but pressure should be maintained, however look at the test on the injectors, one at 6.8 and thats cold I would imagine once heated that one is toast.
