Message: [QUOTE="JonathanN, post: 880373, member: 4486"] Lol no, you're not... I've been preoccupied and busy. My Christmas vacation is making me stir-crazy, that's what started this thread lol. Man, I read what you wrote and I follow you, but there's one thing that still doesn't sit right with me. Yes, at higher pressures, you loose flow. But that's how it works, pressure is resistance to flow. It's similar to hydraulics, a pump creates flow, not pressure. Pressure occurs because there's a resistance to flow occurring except in this case, our pump (turbo) is moving air instead of oil. The difference I see is with a turbocharger system is we're dealing with a compressible element whereas oil is virtually not. Not sure how that affects the results or if it even matters. I supposed you'd still have flow as the pressure increases as more air is packed together, but eventually your flow would stop as your boost pressures peaked. But even then, it's still a case of pressure being resistance to flow. So I still stand with my initial argument. Yeah, the s480 may have more flow at 25psi than the 475, but that's with how much more OR less exhaust flow to drive it? For 250/200's, yeah it'd be a bit small and I would be running a larger LP because like you say, lots of guys with these larger sticks run at least 45's if not 47's. But, for a stage-2 setup I wouldn't think it'd be ideal because of the smaller exhaust wheel. It ought to drive decent with the lower level of exhaust flow from smaller sticks. Just me, though... I can think all I want but be completely clueless and ungrounded until I see how it actually behaves. If I go with a larger injector, it won't be a hybrid. I'll be running twin oil so if I don't go with AC's and nozzles, I'll go with B-codes and nozzles... 100% if I wanna go mild, 200% if I wanna get all I can out of them. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
