Mike, i really apreciate your information, no matter if they are irrelevant to the R50 engine subject. It would be better if we could see the injector duty cycle with normal pump gas, as very few people run E85 fuel.
About the R50 larger injectors which we are talking about here, what is your opinion?
Cheers,
Nick

Just thought i'd share some interesting logging data on my R53.
Nick, you will be able to get all these logging info with your R50 with the Tuning Kit, and see the duty-cycles of your injectors during WOT. Sorry to thread-jack just for a brief moment.

I was getting on the freeway today so i logged the 06 MCS running E85, here are the results (car is only putting down 227whp on a dynojet with Bosch OE 550s and MegaMINI cam running E85 fuel).
Note the "1st shaded yellow area", at one point, these 550s are maxxed out in 2nd gear at 7125rpm, duty-cycle was at 100%.

Note the "2nd shaded green area", the injector duty was at 83% in 3rd gear at 6500rpm.

So yeah, the 550s may sound like they are big injectors, the above data clearly indicate that they are getting maxxed out. So yeah, we will likely have to go even BIGGER than the 550s on the injectors in order for us to make more safer power on E85.
We don't force or push hard for anybody to buy anything they do not want to buy. Like i stated in my signature, i'm only here to present the FACTs... people can make up their own minds... if you have facts to share, please don't hesitate to do so :thumbup: Cheers!
