Needed, stock injector flow test results

Does anyone have flow test results for stock injectors they sent out to be cleaned? I'm looking for 83-86 and 87-89 flow results. I want to get a few different poeple who have these results to post so we can average them together and get specific #s on what stock injectors flow. I've heard lots of estimates over the years but I'm interested in actual flow test data.

 

Thanks

Back when I was working out the staging in megasquirt for a factory TBI application I noticed a big AFR change when the secondary came in using the factory quoted flow rates on the primary/secondary staging factor. Quick definition, the staging factor is the ratio of the flow of the primary over the total of both, its important to get right to make the transition smooth. So, knowing the flow as stated from the factory was not correct I built a test rig, at 40 psi the primary flowed higher than 580, more like 620 give or take 10, and the secondary actually flowed less than 1050, closer to 980. Using those numbers for a new staging factor the transition was smooth as glass. Sorry I can't offer any hard data, this was four or five years ago now.

http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=102407&hl=injector Scotts post. Per tep " The 87-89 used a primary of about 580 cc and a secondary of about 1000 cc. We say "about" because we have flowed the same part number injectors new from Mitsubishi and gotten different results every time. This seems to be a large part of the performance inconsistency between even the same year cars" 580/1000 is about what mine tested at. A local shop cleaned a set and came up way lower #. When I quizzed them about it, there equipment was set to a much lower pressure than the industry standard of 43.5 psi. So the #'s are only as good as the calibration of the equipment.

I sent four injectors to RC Engineering. Two were leaking externally. Two passed.

 

Black injector

Hmmm, I see that. I have the first set in my car. They seem ok but I don't have a wide band. I don't think they can change the injector, just clean it. What are your thoughts Phil?

Using this calculator,

It looks like the 1050cc green injector drops to 981cc @ 38 psi. And the 600cc black drops to 560cc @ 38 psi. So replacing stockers with 600/1050cc will be in the ball park for flow rate. Only issue is will spray pattern and dead time skew the results.
