** Rebuilding a Stroked/Turbo VT Ecotec **

unless you are aiming for 1000hp the stock lines should be fine LOL in the end the fuel rails only have such a big hole in them

well thats another expense i DONT have to deal with! =) in saying that tho, i still think im going to change the way the rails flow. as in parallel not series. put the reg at the front in the middle. feed them from the back. yes.

 

[delcowizzid]

can do the altered drag car we have has twin feeds and twin regs

 

[klampy]

how many m/s are the injectors actually open for at WOT on the VB? coz that would be a quick way with some maths to work out needed flow.

 

[delcowizzid]

we are at 80% DC lines will outflow the injectors no worries

 

[klampy]

what size are they?

 

[delcowizzid]

60lb .youll max out an 044 pump before maxing out the 80lbers LOL

well im upgrading my lines too to stainless braided, -10 maybe the way to go???


ive got another question,

ive got these rails:

VS VT VX POLISHED FUEL RAILS V6 ECOTEC HSV CALAIS | eBay

how the f**k do i connect anything to them as they have no thread??? lol

 

[klampy]

which lines? if you talking about the main line then id go like what i was thinkn about initially and thats upsizing from 8mm to 12mm (or whatever the eqiv is) but i tend to trust what DW is saying since he has a similar combo already pushin 450+hp.

i was doin some maths before but then had the pc crash so got over it, but ill try again.

84lbs injector is the same as 840cc, which is 840mL per minute. X6= 5.04L total maximum fuel flow. so in one second, @max= 84mL / second.

so if you still think that an 8mm fuel line cant handle 5L/minute @40psi then go ahead and upgrade. (that was my thought anyway.)

drill n tap the inside of the ends of the rails. or have a plumbing place make some hose tails to go in under the std clamp.
