Default High Flow Injector Fitting

Hey guys,

Since my stock injectors are "overworking" I see the need of bigger ones, my math tells me my need is something around 5gr/sec. I would like to know if the 27797-07 SE High Flow Injector fits the 96ci stock manifold, they say it only fits the SE manifold, but the injector look quite the same as mine. Does anybody can give me a light on that?

Kuryakyn also have a hi flow injector, but is 5,54g/sec. Anybody using it?

Also, my question is, is there more option for hi flow injector for 96ci manifolds?

Thanks!

Hernan

How do you know your injectors are over working? What do you have in your build?

Do you have a SERT. If so, it is fairly easy to figure out what the all important injector max duty cycle is. With the bikes I have seen, the injectors are quite large compared to the power these bikes make.

Well, my injectors, from 4500rpm and up, are working at 25ms (I understand a good value should be ~16ms, or 80% of duty cycle @ 6000rpm). I've set my AFR to work on 12.8 basis on WOT. First, I can't reach the 12.8 when i'm at wot and more than 5000rpm, so I understand I need more fuel.

My build is not the issue but the fuel I use on my engine. The build is a regular 96ci with TCFI from DTT, free A/C, unrestricted short pipes, an andrews 37 cam, a little charger on the intake (add 8% more air, so I need 8% more fuel flow) and the fuel is a 25%~30% ethanol, it means I need to add 10%~15% more fuel to reach the same AFR.

The regular injector flows 3,9g/sec, I guess that is 80% of my flow needs at 6000rpm and AFR 14.5.

My bike adds the following:
AFR 12.8 (13% more fuel)
Cam (10~15% more from 4000rpm, lets use 10%)
Charger (8% more)
Ethanol (10% more)
A/C+Pipes (lets say 5% more)

TOTAL: 46%

It's the first time I'm doing this math, but the total value is aprox. the same amount I've seen in my PW map needs. The pulse width is working at 130% of duty cycle and the math says something around that (80+46)...


Anyway, does the SE injectors fit my stock manifold???

Cool This is getting far more interesting than I was thinking....

Try this spreadsheet. It takes into account lots of things that most injector calc sheets sweep under the table.

I think the Harley world needs to stay in the 50% max DC range. There are some hidden things going on in the code that may screw up at long DCs

Your build does make a difference whe npicking an injector. If your over 20ms at 6000 rpm your over the limit, your understanding of that is correct. http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/fuelinjectors.htm
Look at this site I'm sure it will help you out with the injector size and where to get them. http://www.injector.com/harleyinjection.php

Thanks, they seem to have the injector I need, at least they have a couple of "flow sizes" injectors to choose.

But the question is still if I can use an SE injector in the stock 96 manifold...




Answering the info given by whittlebeast, I agree, I also believe there is something else about the Hd injectors, maybe the old-tech v-twin behaves a little different than modern 4-8cil engines. It has to be some hidden issues about the injector, the traditional math doesnt work well on Twincams...

I don't see why not as long as the connectors in the harness are the same.

How did you ever come out on this? I am looking at an ethanol build down the road and am trying to get my ducks in a row. Are you still satisfied with the build and fuel?
