making 550cc run at 450cc >>
i need to swap in my 550cc injectors but im not getting tunned on these till next week.
im thinking i can do this to get me by
run them at 30psi instead of 43.5 psi. should be close enough
30/43.5 = .689655 , square root of that = .830455 x 550 = 456.8cc
these number are all rounded.
anyway. will i hurt the injectors if i run them at a lower rail pressure.
platinum.

No you should be fine with that setup. You might need to play around a little bit with the fuel pressure since different size injectors have different outputs at different duty cycles. If anything you will need to give it a little more fuel pressure than 30. Why dont you run (450/550)43.5 psi anyway? which would be 36 psi. I'd run 36 psi and see what happens, and increase fuel pressure if necessary.

No what im saying is why dont you do the math 450/550*43.5 = 36 psi. so why would you do 30 psi. Do you understand my math/logic? i dont understand yours. (i'm not saying its wrong, i just dont get it. Why would you take the square root of 30/43.5? then multiply that by 550?

Re: (Cyphear)
i understand what your sayin now'
i just used the formula on rc injectors website
look at example 1 @ http://www.rceng.com/technical.htm
let me know if i should still do it your way
it makes sense both way to me.

I can't tell you what pressure to run them at, becaue I don't know what pressure you are at now. You can't use 43.5 psi as your basis, because that might not be what pressure you are at now.
You need to set it up so that the square root of (new pressure/current pressure) is equal to about 0.82.
If you want, post up the new numbers (or even better, PM me) and I can check them for you before you drive the car, to be safe.

You have to take the square root, because flow isn't proportional directly to the ratio of the pressures. It's just a property of physics.

Awesome, keep us updated how it works. I think your way is probably right. but like i said in my first post, you might need to bump it up a little over 30 if it doesn't run because of the "slow" open charactheristics of larger injectors.

from what to 550's?
Thanks for the update plantinum00.
