So, so bad. You are not able to tune direct injectors, and instead of learning how to collect their benefits, you develop a deletion tool 😂 Guys, just go to another shop!
isnt the limitation the amount of fuel DI is able to provide? many vehicles like my alfa for instance dont have upgraded hpfps and upgraded injectors available off the shelf like for audis and vws so i was considering deletion also, but your comment gives me hope to avoid that so if you got solid advice on that then please do share 😅
@dominiquevanwyk518 here in Germany, because of regulations, we must live with the direct injectors. But why not? They save a lot of fuel when you are not using 100% engine power and correctly programmed they can also deliver other benefits. Just add a set of normal injectors to the air-intake. If the engine requires A LOT of fuel, these will deliver it. In all other driving conditions, you can rely on the factory setup. We have a famous drag-race-car here. It has above 1000hp out of a four-cylinder 1.8L engine. It is equipped with thirteen injectors. 4 direct injectors, two additional in each cylinders air-intake and one in the main air-intake. The modern ECUs can cope with such setups. The modern Audi five-cylinder engines have two injectors per cylinder, just stock from factory. So from my perspective, the solution is not deleting the DI, it's adding normal injectors and really good programming with a fast modern ECU. You need such an ECU anyway, because you want to control a lot more data than stock. Like turbo RPM, intake-(under-)pressure before the turbo, temperature, pressure and lambda per cylinder, backpressure in exhaust before and after turbo, ...
I did this with my V10 still in the car. I used the foam ear plugs to expand in the DI holes and once i was done tapping, used a vacuum with a straw to get all the metal chunks out first, then vaccumed the ear plug out of the hole. 4,500 miles later and still working great!
Reminds me when my dad said carburetor is better than injection .. but in reality it was because people didn't have enough talent to tune it until now 😆 .
Not just talent/knowledge but the tech available. Today you can get large injectors that can accurately meter tiny amounts of fuel for idle and everything in-between. This wasn't always the case. You needed double injectors and staging or whatever to do big power fueling for the street... And race cars didn't need a solution because its a street car problem. It took decades before good EFI tech existed for performance street use, off the shelf.
Why dont you use bigger DI instead of deleting it? As I understand it, the DI is also crucial for the HIGH Compression ratio in comparison to Port injection, which also leads for high torque at lower rpm.
He stated to remove washers on bolts " if you have the straps you remove the washers" but he stated that while doing only the one side. So if you buy reinforcing straps then you will not use washers on either side? I ordered the reinforcing straps so no washers at all?
