Default What size is the stock fuel injector?

I have searched the forums and googled it, but I can't find the answer.

I even tried looking up replacement stock injectors. Alot of auto parts have them, but no one list the size of the injectors.

There has been a discussion about this and all I can say is That the Replacement injectors for the Stage 1 TN are 380s and the stage 2 are 510s so obviously they are less than 380 CCs

people have said they are 280 cc units, but I want to make sure.

The software on the ECU says they are 285.92cc, but I'm sure 4.08cc is nothing to worry about .

that is essentially saying the same thing QuadCam - as you increase fuel pressure, fuel flow (in cc's) increases.

So, at 43.5 psi of pressure, which is the industry standard for rating a fuel injector, they are 290cc, and why I answered as such. The Z, running a returnless fuel system, runs a bit more than that for fuel pressure, and as such, the injectors flow a bit more at the pressure the Z runs. But, they are still 290 cc injectors in actuality (they are just "behaving" like larger ones)

Are the G35 Sedan Running same injector size?

One must know the exact density/temperature of the fuel used thru the injector to determine the exact flow rate.

Ethanol is 785 @ 20C whereas gasoline varies around 737 [0.73 grams per cc at 15C.]. Toluene is 862, IsoOctane is 692, O-Xylene is 880. Kg/CM
Density varies about 1.3-1.5 points per 1C change with single components. Why the fuel tank now has a temperature sensor with returnless regulation.

Why? I don't understand what not having a return system has to do with the fuel flow rate varying based on temperature.

You're way beyond the scope of the question though

The injector can only flow a finite amount of fuel per minute, regardless of temperature, or the octane of the fuel being passed through the injector.

Compare the part #s of the G injector to the Z at the dealer - I'm imagine they are the same, but cannot be 100% sure

Consider E85 vs 10% E vs 100% conventional all are liquid fuels.

You are mistaken, study the density of a liquid flowing thru an orifice.....the friction varies with density, which varies with temperature.

The injector is speced for a liquid of an exact density.............in pounds per hour.

Many people confuse weight and volume............the MAF measures air weight as does ecu so volume [cc] must be converted into weight [grams per second or lbs per hour] to accomplish the AF calculation.


The nominal 10.9 factor used to convert pounds per hour into cc per minute is a made up number that happens to work for one particular density!

A cc is a metric volume standard whereas a pound is a function of local gravity.........where you are on the Earth.

http://www.cbu.edu/~bbbeard/313/Day_04.pdf

Page 4 of above has density graphs for 3 types of gasoline and how the density varies over 30F to 150F

again, you are far beyond the scope of the original question
