I remember the big power Cosworths used to run additional injectors when they ran over a certain amount of boost. In fact I think I am correct in stating that the RS500 came with 4 additional injectors that would be activated if the Race ECU was fitted.

I have not seen a GTR with additional injectors, not even one.... why is this?

I think all of the big ECU manufacturers state it as a feature..

Speak to Pagey on here, his 32 GTR from Endless is up for sale, but i believe that had extra injector (not 100% sure though)

theres a lot of big power skylines running 2 fuel rails with 12 injectors

One of the problems in fitting a 2nd set of injectors is space. On the Cosworth, the butterfly isn't very close to the head so its fairly easy to do.

When there is such a huge range of injector sizes available, why not buy some of the correct size?

I think having 2 sets of injectors for petrol is a bodge. If running LPG/No2, fair enough, you have no option.

Why, do you want to run with extra injectors?

There are GTRs running 12 injectors instead of 6, but no point.

Even on Cossies these days people use 4 massive injectors rather than the RS500 8inj setup.

In the old days it was mainly a mapping issue, ie getting the fueling down enough on 1000cc etc injectors, but thats not a prob these days.

Technically its better to have stand off injectors like that, but in reality the difference is negligable on a turbo car, same as running individual throttles per cyl is.

And the extra parts and effort (and potential for things to go wrong) makes most people not bother.

6 injectors, 1 fails, car develops a missfire.
12 injectors, 1 fails, car runs lean, piston melts, rebuild time.

I dont wish to run them, I am just a little rusty from all this car tuning business. I was into it about 8 years ago and then moved on to company cars etc... I just recall all of the old technology and stuff and it constantly amazes me how far we have moved on....
