I am using the stock Mazda Nippon denso injectors. Tracy mentioned twenty
gallons an
hour max. Should be good for about 50 HP each.

Paul,
    Thanks for the response. You didn't comment if anyone was using a
Megasquirt controller? http://www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html
Also you mentioned the ones you use to be good for about 50HP each, would
that mean if I am shooting for more than a 100HP just go for larger
injectors? I see on a chart I have Bosch makes one used on a Ford at 100HP
each, would it make since to use a large injector and just tune it to the
desired performance?
 Thanks,
    Richard


I am real sorry about that Richard. What a great idea. Build your own fuel
injection computer. Open source software so you can make your own program
modifications. Real cheap.  I can see what I will add right away and that
is data acquisition. This really jump starts anybody that wants to roll
your own. Major major breakthrough.

Richard, If I might suggest using two injectors per rotor, this gives you
some redundancy for little added expense and hardware.  If one
injector/drive transistor plugs/dies you just dial up the mixture on one
injector and fly to the nearest airport instead of landing where there
isn't one.
