Topic: turbo alcohol busa mech fuel injection ?Posted: 29 October 2009 at 5:50pm |

I am in the design stage of a turbo alcohol funnybike. I am initially planning on around 600hp.
I have noticed a few turbo 'busa bikes using mechanical injection. how is the fuel curve managed? I understand with a blower, there is a constant rate of boost. A turbo does not have a steady boost rate. Can anyone tell me the difference between a mechanical turbo alcohol fuel curve as compared to say, a blown nitro mechanical system? is there some type of a pressure sensitive variable bleed off valve? am I overthinking this and it doesnt matter if it runs rich in some parts of the curve? Any help appreciated. |

Turbo mechanical FI systems use a "boost sensor" that regulates system pressure according to boost pressure. More boost = more fuel pressure

Thank you very much.
Who sells the boost sensors? |

What kind of components do you currently have?

I do not have any fuel system specifically for this bike yet. we have a
lot of spare parts laying around the shop. I am trying to sort out the
fuel injection while the chassis is being built.
I am trying to find out what I need to buy or make. |

You will need a pump, throttle bodies, necessary check valves, plenum chamber and a boost compensator to make a system that is operational. Of this will include the necessary exhaust pipe and other items.

I would highly recommend the guy that does my fuel systems. Cant tell you his name though.

Kinsler and Hilborne both offer componets for what you are asking about. JD

If you derive satisfaction from designing and fabricating the components yourself from parts you have around the shop, or you source components from various sources without asssurance that the components are compatible, you will likely face a costly, steep learning curve, frustration and disappointment.
If you want the turbo and fuel system to be reliable constants--- so that you can focus your attention on other challenging aspects of a funnybike (such as clutch management)--- then purchase a comprehensive, proven turbo/fuel system from a known and accomplished source.

First off, I posted here in an attempt to find out who manufactured fuel systems for my application, and I was emphatically told that the only manufactures that can be discussed on this forum are the advertisers. Secondly, this is by no means the first bike built by us, it is, however, the first Hayabusa turbo engined bike. We already have a mechanically injected nitro funnybike, and a mechanically injected blown nitro top fuel bike built from scratch in the shop. My actual question was how to set up a curve to compensate for the turbo boost. I did get my answer here, sort of. I was told there is a valve that does what I need. I was hoping for a discussion of different setups that work on this bike, so I could make an educated decision based on my needs, rather than trial and error of using each fuel system. I ended up calling all the fuel system manufactures (no, not only the ones from the approved list) and I eventually found the information I needed. I also found out the information on the transmission the same way, with hours and hours on the telephone, researching the old fashioned way. I was hoping the forum could save my ear a bit, I am able to use the computer more than I can dedicate myself to the telephone. there are very few Hayabusa funnybikes in competition, and I am having mine built different from the others. there is no simple package to purchase and bolt on. here is a picture of the top fueler built at the same shop, about 90% of this bike was hand fabricated, including the fuel system and the clutch. ![]() |

What kind of blower has a constant rate of boost? Just askin

a blower has a boost curve based on RPM. match the fuel pump RPM pressure curve to the blower curve, they are both kind of tied together by RPM. you can work out the fuel curve by the blower boost curve.A turbo doesnt care about RPM for its boost curve. I think thats what he is talking about as a constant rate.

a belt driven supercharger has a predictable linear rate of boost. a turbocharger is based on pressure. There is also a problem with turbo lag when setting up a fuel system a mechanical fuel injection provides a linear fuel curve based on engine RPM. to use a mechanical fuel injection with a turbo requires a boost pressure activated regulator to control fuel flow according to boost (or lack thereof) I should have said "linear rate" rather than "constant rate" in my original post. |
