OK Ok....lets settle down please.
I'm glad Mike did share the info and I also agree with Colin about where the info is. In a more perfect world that image and the text that goes along with would be best served in a separate thread espousing on the virtues of checking that line at times when say one might have pulled the I/C to clean it.
Lets let it go... -

Alright boys, put your dicks away, this pissing contest is over.
Just kidding. I just wanted my first post on here to be special, and after reading the full 19 pages there was no way I could leave without making my mark and saying something stupid.
But...What is the benefit of 440's or 380's over 550's? Everyone has been arguing the converse, but why shell out money for a part you will likely have to upgrade later? Unless you like spending money on parts. It's like Oprah buying pants without an elastic waistband, you're more than likely to outgrow them. -
opcorn: FACT! Wasn't really going to waste my time letting you know that. Just for future customer reference if they are wondering. Happy Motoring

Look it up for yourself and others as well.... Dynojet Research Inc.- Power Commander, Automotive Dynamometers, Motorcycle Dynamometers, ATV Dynamometers, Jetkits, Wideband Commander, Wideband Commander 2, WB2 so it won't be any he said he said. -

All right, you two. If you want to discuss dynos, you will need to start a new thread. Know what I mean?

That should bring us back on topic.

Thank you for the pm mr. anonymous?
I correct my statement!

I realize I'm coming into a heated thread late, but I've had an interesting experience reading most of it and a very pertinent question to ask.
A few minutes into reading the thread, I was sold on the idea of getting the new 550cc injectors if I got a tune, even though my mods are relatively small (15%, CAI, Header) for future-proofing, in case I go for a cam and BV head. However...
The video that Mynes posted scared me off promptly. The stock and JCW injectors atomize the fuel beautifully, and every other injector more or less just squirted fuel, including the new 550. Is it impossible to atomize the fuel as well at a higher flow rate, or is it as disappointing a result as it seems to be? -
Do a simple science experiment at home and you'll see:
- take a spray bottle, fill it up with water
- set it to mist and spray it... see how long it takes to empty the bottle
- now set it to spray at the next level (somewhere between 'mist' and 'stream'), then spray it. See how long it takes you to empty the bottle.
Now: repeat the above test, only this time, have a fan blowing away from you and spray it... now you're see how the air 'atomizes' the mild-stream for you.
If you were running those injectors in a vacuum without any air mixture, then yes, the stock ones 'atomizes' the best. But it's called Air/Fuel mixture -
Quick question for anyone: What are you trying to burn inside a conventional combustion engine?
-
So why all the BS about spray pattern? -
So if we look at the video again. You can see the last one on the right is a steady stream with larger droplets.

But Nathan as Mike said, that is in a vacuum and when you add the velocity and I'll add turbulence of the air; the fuel will be atomized very well indeed.
Have you ever peed into the wind, it will be atomized very quickly...lol
