Most liked posts in thread: BIGGER is BETTER!!! A FAQ on the Bosch 550cc injectors for R53

It has been my contention for some time now that it is possible for more than one party to create a product that works.

 

I still like this site, but I believe I'll go to "read only" mode, with the exception of aerodynamic stuff...

 

OK, what about 2nd gen turbo motor cars?

I'm sure the same factors apply right? More air in means more fuel needed. So if you add a big intercooler, a free-er flowing exhaust and a bigger turbo, blowoff valve and whatever, you need more fuel. Just common sense....

If you're Stock, you're probably OK, unless you're doing track days?

Cause I gotta tell you, around Heartland Park roadcourse, pretty much the only time I'm not at WOT is when I'm on the brakes (oh sure, I feather it here and there), and since I drive an auto trans, I'm not letting up for the shifts, so potentially because a) I'm slower b)I'm not lifting off to shift.... I'm at WOT even more than a stick shift guy, right?

And on a hot Kansas day it'll be even worse right? Except for the intercooler heat soak that causes the ECU to back things off, I suppose....

Yes, I realize it's a different setup but since it's direct injection, would it be even more sensitive?

 

This is more a topic to go to ECU adjustments not this thread but.......

throttle position information sent to ECU= determines through many solutions = position of TB,solution for duty cycle of fuel injectors,timing etc.......So just because you have your foot to the floor.......does not mean 100%

dots...... are for........ doggybags

 

Good question MiniDave. I have not heard of anyone replacing the injectors on the 2nd gen. They must be more substantial as they are high pressure. Might want to give Mynes a call as I know they have been racing the R56.

 

Would the direct injection throw a level of complexity in for the R56 application?

 

Thats not a spark plug wire.

Its the vacuum line for the fuel pressure regulator.

It holds its shape because its plastic. :lol:

 

well now.....If it were a spark plug wire....:rolleyes5: :lol::lol:


ROFLMAO!!!

Mike it is still a good picture!

 

OK, folks. Let's not all jump on at the same time. Glass house and rocks. But it was pretty funny. Now, lets move on.

 

:cornut:The Cheapest Spark Plug wires on my 08 R56 MCS/JCW are $600(that I have found). Something about each individual wire having it's own internal coil? Is this correct? Any way @ that price,I won't be replacing them any time soon.(there you're off the hook now):cornut:

:cornut: I did ask her and after she got up off of the floor and wiped the tears from her eyes,she said..................that!@#$%&*

:cornut:Now moving right along.......................

Hey are those the part that DINAN sells as part of their pulley package?

Dinan Cars - Boost Upgrade System - Manual

 

I asume the IC needs to be pulled to check this part?

 

I'm pretty sure that is a yes. If I remember correctly, this is where most people I've heard of tap in their mechanical boost gauge.

 

Ive done some work on minis and never really had any problems with this part. are you sure that you are disconnecting them when you pull the fuel rail or are you breaking it when you pull the fuel rail off the car? thats the only way that i can see it getting broken.
