_______________________________
Fuel System
_______________________________
The equation to estimate fuel consumption by horsepower output is as follows:

HP x BSFC(0.65) = fuel use in lb/min x 0.0107 = liters per minute x 60 = lph

Or, you can skip all the middle stuff and multiply HP x 0.42 to get lph. Example:

250hp x 0.42 = 105 lph

Conventional wisdom is that the pump should be adequate to supply the rate required for maximum horsepower output plus 20%. Here is a table of calculated rates:

HP…..lph…..lph + 20%
250….105….126
300….126….151
350….147….176
400….168….202
450….189….227
500….210….252

HP Goal – Min Injector Size (cc/min)*
250hp-....... 550cc
300hp-....... 650cc
350hp-....... 750cc
400hp-....... 850cc
450hp-....... 950cc
500hp-....... 1050cc

Heres a calculator to help you figure out injector size's.

That 400 hp one seems dead on that is what I was going to do run 880's if I did the 18/20g turbo that I had.
