Understanding Fuel Injector Flow Rates
- The conversion formula used is: cc/min = lb/hr × 10.5 ÷ specific gravity
- For the reverse: lb/hr = cc/min × specific gravity ÷ 10.5
- Fuel specific gravity varies by fuel type and affects the flow rate conversion.
- Higher flow injectors are needed for increased horsepower or forced induction.
- When upgrading injectors, always ensure your fuel system can support the increased flow.
- Manufacturers may rate injectors differently - always check if the rating is at static pressure or dynamic pressure.
